We can write a system of equations:
1x + 10y = 182
x + y = 56
Where 'x' is the number of $1 bills, and 'y' is the number of $10 bills.
To find this we can solve using substitution.
Re-arrange the 2nd equation:
x + y = 56
Subtract 'y' to both sides:
x = -y + 56
Now we can plug in '-y + 56' for 'x' in the first equation.
1x + 10y = 182
1(-y + 56) + 10y = 182
-y + 56 + 10y = 182
Subtract 56 to both sides:
-y + 10y = 126
Combine like terms:
9y = 126
Divide 9 to both sides:
y = 14
Now we can plug this into any of the two equations to find the 'x' value.
x + y = 56
x + 14 = 56
Subtract 14 to both sides:
x = 42
So our final answer is (42, 14).
This means that the motel clerk had 42 $1 bills, and 14 $10 bills.
Yes it is, since 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5. If a pizza has 5 slices and you take three, that is more than just taking one.
Answer:
3/5 + 7/10 = 6/10 + 7/10 = 13/10 = 1 and 3/10 lbs. needed
She has 4/5 *3/1 bags = 12/5 = 2 and 2/5 pounds
2 2/5 - 1 3/10 = 2 4/10 - 1 3/10 = 1 and 1/10 pounds left over
Answer:
The profit for January is $57,200.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total profit for the two months would be the result of adding up the profit in January plus the profit in February:
Total profits=Profit in January+Profit in February
Also, you can say that profits in January can be represented by x and you know that the profit for a company in February was 15% higher than it was in January which can be expressed as: 1.15x. Moreover, you know that the total profit for the two months was $122,980. Now, you can replace the values on the formula:
122,980=x+1.15x
Now, you can solve for x:
122,980=2.15x
x=122,980/2.15
x=57,200
According to this, the answer is that the profit for January is $57,200.
The answer is
(0,3)
