Answer:

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

603

Step-by-step explanation:

2680 x 3/10 =804

2680 x 15% = 402

2680 x 13% = 348.40

2680 x 1/8 =   335

2680 x 7% =  <u> 187.60  </u>

                       2077

2680 - 2077 = 603

Select all the statements that are true for the following systems of equations.
Dvinal [7]
Answer:

The true statements are:

the first statement: Systems A and C have the same solution
the fourth statement: System C simplifies to 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18
the fifth statement: Systems A and B have different soltuoins.

Explanation:

1) The first statement: systems A and C have the same solutiotn: TRUE

The fourth statement proves that that the two systems are equivalent which means that both have the same solution.

2) The second statement: All three systems have different solutions: FALSE

The fourth statement proves that the systems A and C have same solution, so this second statement is false.

3) The third statement: Systems B and C have the same solution: FALSE

<span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different

Solution of system B.

3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3

replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5

=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5

=> - 17x = 5 + 12

=> -17x = 17

=> x = - 17 / 17

=> x = - 1

y = 5x + 3 = 5(-1) + 3 = - 5 + 3 = - 2

=> solution x = -1 and y = -2

Solution of system C.

2x - 3y = 4
12x - 3y = 54

subtract
</span>
4) fourth statement: System C simplifies to <span>2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18 by dividing the second equation by three: TRUE

Look:

Second equation of system C = 12x - 3y = 54

Divide by 3:

12x - 3y     54
----------- = -----
     3           3

Distributive property:

12x      3y      
------ - ----- = 18
   3        3

4x - y = 18, which is the same second equation of system A, so the system C simplifies to the same system A, which is 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18.

5) The fifth statement: systems A and B have different solutions: TRUE

</span><span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different

Solution of system A:

  2x - 3y =  4     
12x - 3y = 54           since it is equivalent to 4x - y =  18
-------------------
12x - 2x = 54 - 4      subtracting the first equation from the secon

10x = 50                  adding like terms

x = 5                        dividing by 10

From 2x - 3y = 4 => 3y = 2x - 4 = 2(5) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6

=> y = 6 / 3 = 2

=> x = 5, y = 2

Solution of system B.

3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3

replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5

=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5

=> - 17x = 5 + 12

=> -17x = 17

=> x = - 17 / 17

=> x = - 1

Which is enough to prove that the two systems have different solutions.</span>

Jamal brought 4 shirts in Massachusetts. The sale tax is 5%. If the price before tax for each shirt was $16, how much mone did J
sladkih [1.3K]

Given Number of shirts bought by Jamal in Massachusetts =4.The question is asking us to find the money spent by Jamal after paying sales tax at the rate of 5% when cost of each shirt is $16.

Cost of 1 shirt= $16

Cost of 4 shirts = 4x16=$64.

Sales tax on the shirts = 5% =0.05(in decimal form)

Sales tax on 4 shirts costing $64= 0.05x64= $3.2

Cost of shirt including sales tax= 64+3.2=67.2

Jamal spend $67.2 on purchasing the shirts.
