Answer:
$20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are talking about the unknown cost of a shirt AND a sweater, we are dealing with 2 unknowns. However, we can only have one unknown in a single equation or we cannot solve it. The cost of the sweater is based on the cost of the shirt, so the shirt will be our "main" unknown.
Cost of the shirt: x
Since the sweater is $5 more than (this is addition) twice (that is 2 times) the cost of the shirt, the expression for the sweater is 2x + 5
The cost of both is (equals) 65.
x + 2x + 5 = 65 and
3x + 5 = 65 and
3x = 60 so
x = 20
The shirt cost $20 so the sweater had to cost 65 - 20 = 45

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
it goes from the 7th power to the 4th power. So add them together and you get 11
480 pennies.
25% are dated before 1980, therefore:
1200(total):100 = 12 (1%)
12(1%)x25 = 300 (25%)
35% are dated from 1980 to 2000, therefore:
12(1%)x35 = 420 (35%)
25% are dated before 1980, 35% are dated from 1980 to 2000 and the rest are dated after 2000.
25% + 35% = 60%.
300(25%) + 420(35%) = 720.
60% = 720.
100%-60% = 40%.
40% is the amount of pennies that are dated after 2000.
The total (100%) of the pennies is 1200.
We also know that 60% of the total (1200) is 720.
1200(100%) - 720(60%) = 480(40%).
Therefore, the amount of pennies dated after 2000 in Russell’s Collection is 480.
