donuts and cream puffs were 45 & 4 respectively !
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts We need to find how many donuts and cream puffs were there . Let's find out:
Let number of donuts and cream puffs are x & y respectively ! So ,
- twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs
According to this statement equation is :
⇒ 
⇒
................(1)
- 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts
According to this statement equation is :
⇒ 
⇒
................(2)
Equation (1) & (2) :
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Putting
in
:
⇒ 
⇒ 
Therefore , donuts and cream puffs were 45 & 4 respectively !
Amount of tax on the book (s) is $0.72
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given 6/100 = s/12
- Step 2: Cross multiply to solve for s
⇒ 6 × 12 = 100 × s
⇒ 72 = 100s
⇒ s = 72/100 = 0.72
X + 4y = 4
-x + 2y = 8
x + 4y - x + 2y = 4 + 8
6y = 12
y = 2
x + 4(2) = 4
x + 8 = 4
x = -4
(x,y)
(-4,2)
