From the question we know that Maria and Josie went to the movies and spent a total amount of money, which should be the price of the tickets added to the price of the snacks.
Knowing that the price of the snacks is $3.75 and the price of the tickets is t, it looks like all that is left is to assign a variable to the total amount of maney they spent at the movies and write out the equation.
If we let the total amount of money they spent be x, then x= t+3.75, whcih should be your answer!
Answer:
x = -5
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 7y = 27 --------------(I)
-3x + y = 21 -----------(II)
Add equation (I) & (II) and so x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y.
(I) 3x + 7y = 27
(II) <u> -3x + y = 21 </u> {add}
8y = 48
y = 48/8
y = 6
Plugin y = 6 in equation (I)
3x +7*6 = 27
3x + 42 = 27
3x = 27 - 42
3x = -15
x = -15/3
x = -5
X = 200 because when finding 10% of s number we divide the number to 10. then you find 23 percent of 200. which is 46, because percentages are found out of 100 and 200 is 100 multiplied by 2. So we have to multiply 23 by 2. the answer is 46.
