Let’s call the amount of pants x and the amount of shirts y.
12y + 21x = 240
y + x = 14 which could be changed to x= 14-y

now you plug it into the first equation
12y + 21 (14 - y) = 240
12y + 294 - 21y = 240

add the similar terms
12y - 21y = 240 - 294
-9y = -54

cancels the minus signs on both sides
9y = 54
y= 6

now you plug y = 6 into the equation x = 14-y
x = 14 - 6
x = 8


answer: Pam bought 8 pants and 6 shirts

Masja [62]

Answer:

$34,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First they had 30,000

Then wrote off 40,000

So balance is 30,000 - 40,000 = -10,000

Now, they want 8% of 300,000 as uncollectible. So that would be

0.08 * 300,000 = 24,000

Thus, to bring the balance to 24,000 [balance is -10,000], how much would they need to add?? Let it be x:

-10,000 + x = 24,000

x = 24,000 + 10,000 = $34,000

There are 120 children there are twice as many boys than girls how many girls are there?
PolarNik [594]
Boys are b
Girls are g

b + g = 120
2g = b

Substitute the second equation into the first

2g + g = 120
3g = 120
g = 40

Plug in g = 40 and solve for b

b + g = 40
b + 40 = 120
b = 80

There are 40 girls and 80 boys.

frozen [14]
The cost of the visit to the dentist can be expressed as the cost equals 100x+50.

The initial cost of the appointment would be $50; no matter how many cavities one has, they would still have to pay $50.

The cost of each cavity is represented as 100x, because each cavity costs $100. x represents the number of cavities, as we do not know how many cavities there are.

Answer: D is correct, 52.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

% decrease from 340 to 160, Where 340 is the old number and 160 is the new number

Percent change = (New number - Old number) / Old number x 100%

= (-180) / 340x 100 = -52.94%
