C is the cost of groceries.

if there is 5% discount, then the current price = 100% - 5% = 95%

= 95% of c

= (95/100) * c

= 0.95c

Jim sells used drones for 70% of the original manufacturer's purchase price of a new drone. Jim also sells new drones for 15% mo

adell [148]

The function for the amount saved if they purchase a used drone rather than a new drone from Jim's store is f(x) = 0.45x

He sells used drones at 70% of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a used drone is:

$\mathbf{Used = 70\% \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7 \times x}$

$\mathbf{Used = 0.7x}$

Also, he sells new drones at 15% more of the price (x).

So, the selling price of a new drone is:

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 15\%) \times x}$

Express percentage as decimal

$\mathbf{New= (1 + 0.15) \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15 \times x}$

$\mathbf{New= 1.15x}$

The amount saved is the difference between the prices of the drones.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Saved =New - Old}$

This gives

$\mathbf{Saved =1.15x- 0.7x}$

Subtract

$\mathbf{Saved =0.45x}$

Express as a function

$\mathbf{f(x) = 0.45x}$

Hence, the function for the amount saved is f(x) = 0.45x

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(3, 2) is the ordered pair for the given system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2 x+ y = 8.......................(i)

y = - x + 5........................(ii)

<u>Put y = - x + 5 in equation (i)-</u>

<em>2 x + ( - x+ 5) = 8</em>

<em>2 x - x + 5 = 8</em>

<em>x = 8 - 5</em>

<em>x = 3</em>

<u>Now put x = 3 in equation (ii)-</u>

<em>y = - 3 + 5</em>

<em>y = 2</em>

Hence the (3, 2) is the correct ordered pair.

An uncle wills 3000.00 to his 2 nieces and one nephew. The older niece is to receive twice what the younger niece receives and t

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Nephew receive 1500.00

Older niece receive 1000.00

Younger niece receive 500.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume a variable x,y,z for the niece, older niece and the nephew respectively.

Y= 2x (Twice the younger niece)

Z= x + y. (Sum of the two nieces)

Since y = 2x

Z = x+2x

Z= 3x

Therefore:

X = 1x

Y = 2x

Z = 3x

So the will will be shared among them in the ratio

Nephew : older niece : younger niece

3 : 2 : 1

Nephew. 3/6 x 3000 = 1500.00

Older niece 2/6 x 3000 = 1000.00

Younger niece 1/6 x 3000 = 500.00
