Answer:

1) 25%

2) $17.54

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The boots were reduced from $80 to $60, therefore the total amount they were reduced by in terms of money is $20. To find out what percentage $20 is of $80, you divide.

20/80 = 0.25

0.25 = 25 % (to change a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100)

2) 20% = 0.20 (to change a percentage to a decimal, you divide by 100)

To find 20% of $87.70, multiply 0.20 by 87.70.

87.70 x 0.20 = 17.54

By rearranging x = 7y - 5 to make y the subject, we get

x + 5 = 7y ( By transposition method )

or, $\huge \purple {\tt {\frac{x + 5}{7} = y}}$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\huge \pink {\tt {y = \frac{x + 5}{7}}}$

Answer:

2.4x - 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3(4x – 8) – 0.5(–2.4x + 4)

1.2x - 2.4 + 1.2x -2

2.4x - 4.4

Select the point that is a solution to the system of inequalities.<br> y≤2x-2<br> y≤ x²-3x

miss Akunina [59]

Both statements are true. Therefore (4,2) is a solution and option D is correct.

The given inequalities are $y\leq 2x-2$ and $y\leq x^{2} -3x$ .

We need to select the point that is a solution to the system of inequalities (-2,-1), (1,3), (2,1) and (4,2).

<h3>What is an example of a system of inequalities in real life?</h3>

Inequalities can be seen in the speed limits on roads, the minimum age for seeing certain movies, and the distance you have to walk to go to the park. Inequalities represent a limit of what is permitted or achievable rather than a precise quantity.

Any point is a solution to this system of inequality if it satisfies both inequalities.

Check the inequalities by each option.

For (-2, -1), $-1\leq 2(-2)-2 \implies -1\leq -6$ .
