Answer:

She was wrong in her analysis because the sales discount of 25% is the discount on the original cost of the dress and not the purchasing cost of the dress as explained below:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question:

Purchasing cost price of the dress = £30

However, this cost (£30) was after a 25% Sales Discount        

It, therefore, implies that £30 is equal to 75% of the cost price

75% of the original cost price  = £30

100% of the original cost price = (30 x100%)/75%

   Original cost price                 = £40

Therefore the 25% discount / savings on the cost

                                                     = £ (40-30)

                                                      = £10    

She saved £10 by buying the dress at £30 instead of the original cost of £40

Solve each system by substitution.<br> 1) y = 2x + 2<br> y = -5x + 16
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

y = 6

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange the first equation in terms of x

x = (y - 2)/2

substiute x in the second equation

y = -5[(y-2)/2] +16

Now simpilify and solve for y

y = (-5y + 10)/2 +16

y = -5/2y + 5 + 16

y + 5/2y = 5 + 16

3.5y = 21

y = 6

Now substitue y in the first equation to solve for x

x = (6 - 2)/2

x = 2
