She has $12,488 in savings

Step-by-step explanation:

Ariana plans to use $260 less than three-fourths of savings to buy a car.

If the purchase price of the car is 9,340, we need to find how much

she has in savings

To find the savings

Assume that she has $x in savings
Write an equation of x
Solve the equation to find x

∵ She has $x in savings

∵ She plans to use $260 less than three-fourths of savings

- Three-fourths means $\frac{3}{4}$ and less than means subtract

∴ She plans to use $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 26

∵ The purchase price of the car is 9,340

- Equate the expression of x by 9,340

∴ $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 26 = 9,340

Now let us solve the equation

∵ $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 26 = 9,340

- Add 26 to both sides

∴ $\frac{3}{4}$ x = 9,366

- Divide both sides by $\frac{3}{4}$

∴ x = $12,488

She has $12,488 in savings

A farmer has both pigs and chickens on his farm there are 78 fee and 27 heads how many pigs and how many chickens are there

Andre45 [30]

Assuming health non-mutated animals:
$Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens$
$Heads = Pigs + Chickens$

By back substitution:
$78 = 4*(27-Chickens) + 2*Chickens$
$78 = 108 -2*Chickens$
$-30 = -2*Chickens$
$Chickens= 15$

Then:
$27 = Pigs + 15$
$Pigs = 12$

To check:
$Feet = 4*Pigs + 2*Chickens$
$78 = 4*12 + 2*15$
$78 = 48 + 30$
$78 = 78$ CHECKS
