Answer:
a. 3.6
b. 42.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 180/100 = 1.8
1.8 times 2 (since it's 2%) gives us 3.6
B. 17/40 is 42.5
Answer:
<h2>7x</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Please, use parentheses to enclose each fraction:
y=3/4X+5 should be written as <span>y=(3/4)X+5
Let's eliminate the fraction 3/4 by multiplying the above equation through by 4:
4[y] = 4[(3/4)x + 5]
Then 4y = 3x + 20
(no fraction here)
Let 's now solve the system
4y=3x + 20
4x-3y=-1
We are to solve this system using subtraction. To accomplish this, multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4. Here's what happens:
12y = 9x + 60 (first equation)
16x-12y = -4, or -12y = -4 - 16x (second equation)
Then we have
12y = 9x + 60
-12y =-16x - 4
If we add here, 12y-12y becomes zero and we then have 0 = -7x + 56.
Solving this for x: 7x = 56; x=8
We were given equations
</span><span>y=3/4X+5
4x-3y=-1
We can subst. x=8 into either of these eqn's to find y. Let's try the first one:
y = (3/4)(8)+5 = 6+5=11
Then x=8 and y=11.
You should check this result. Subst. x=8 and y=11 into the second given equation. Is this equation now true?</span>
The population decreases by 4118 so the previous population was 18,318
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an incomplete problem. Other data were not given.
Given:
Profit of every sandwich = $2
Profit of every wrap = $3
x = sandwich
y = wrap
Last month: 2x + 3y = 1,470
Next month: 2x + 3y = 1,593
Based on the given equation:
Both still have the same profit. $2 for sandwiches and $3 for wraps.
The only reason why there is a difference in the total amount is the change in the number of sandwich or wrap sold in a given month.
Since, next month's total sale is higher than last month's total sale, it is safe to assume that the sale of sandwich or wrap is higher than last month's sale.
