A % is out of a hundred, so you don't need the %/100. Then, you wouldn't do cross multiplication, you would just divide 15/27. Remember, it would be 15/27 because it's percent markup, not the percent the price increased by. So, doing that simple calculation on a calculator you get 0.5555. This converted to a percent is just moving the decimal to the right twice, or multiplied by a 100. That would give you 55.55%, and that's your answer. Make sense?
The answer would be (-7x+8), the -1 basically means to switch the symbols
Unit digit=y
tens digit=x
the number: 10x+y
We suggest this system of equations:
x+y=7
(10y+x)=(10x+y)+9
we solve it by substitution method.
x=7-y
10y+(7-y)=(10(7-y)+y)+9
9y+7=70-10y+y+9
9y+10y-y=70+9-7
18y=72
y=72/18=4
x=7-y
x=7-4=3
number=10x+y=10*3+4=30+4=34
solution: the number: 34
To check:
3+4=7
43=34+9
Answer:
6 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 0.25
P = 0.15
----------------
A + P = 10
0.25A+0.15P=2.10
----------------
I did this: 0.25*10 = 2.50
2.50-2.10=.40
0.25-0.15=0.10
0.40/0.10 = 4 so 4 peaches
10 fruits - 4 peaches = 6 apples
