42 because 56 mines 14 equals 42
You just multiply the numerators of the fractions and the denominators of the fractions together, and then reduce the fraction to simplify it from that point on.
The answer is 20%
If 50 is your 100%, take 100 and 90 for example it would be obvious that is it 10% off, so with 50 since it is half of 100 you double the 10% which will be 20%. :)
Answer:
X=3
Y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
In solving simultaneous equations, there are three methods, we have the elimination method, substitution method or graphical method. But for the purpose of this question, we would be using Elimination method.
5y-4x =-7 Equation 1
2y+4x=14 Equation 2
Since x has the same coefficient, it's easy to eliminate by adding up the two equations
5y+2y=7y
-4x+(+4x)=0
-7+(+14)=7
We have 7y=7
Divide both sides by 7,
y=7/7
y=1
Substituting for y in equation 2.
2(1)+4x=14
2+4x=14
4x=14-2
4x=12
x=12/4
x= 3
$4 / 8 = 50 cents per pen
.5 * 5 = 2.50
.5 * 3 = 1.50
Ivan pays $2.50 and Jeff pays $1.50
