Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the regular price of the carpet.
Then:
sale price = regular price less discount
$374 = c - $66
Adding $66 to both sides isolates (solves for) c:
$374 + $66 = c = $440. This is the regular price.
$66
---------- = 0.15 This is the fraction of the regular price by
$440 which the regular price is reduced.
Then the percentage of this discount was 0.15(100%) = 15%
Answer:
x=-4 y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite equations:
x=−4y+16;3x+4y=8
Step: Solvex=−4y+16for x:
x=−4y+16
Step: Substitute−4y+16forxin3x+4y=8:
3x+4y=8
3(−4y+16)+4y=8
−8y+48=8(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−8y+48+−48=8+−48(Add -48 to both sides)
−8y=−40
−8y
−8
=
−40
−8
(Divide both sides by -8)
y=5
Step: Substitute5foryinx=−4y+16:
x=−4y+16
x=(−4)(5)+16
x=−4(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−4 and y=5
Rational. Not whole or integer because its an exact measurement and not irrational because it CAN be expressed as a ratio (fraction, decimal measurement )
