Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.
2/3x - 80 = 1/2x
Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.
(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x
1/6x - 80 = 0
Add 80 to both sides of the equation.
(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80
1/6x = 80
Divide both sides by 1/6.
(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6
x = 480
So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!
It will take her 8 weeks to save up enough money for the bike.
To get the answer first you have to subtract 125 from 245 to see how much money she still has to save then divide the answer which is 120 by 15 and you get 8. Hope this helps!!

Answer:
5400
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of a chair and y represent the cost of a table. We can use this to set up a system of equations:
7x=2y
6x+5y=10575
We can solve this system using substitution.
Start by rewriting the first equation in terms of x.
Substitute this into the second equation:
Multiply both sides by 7
Divide both sides by 47
This means...
Divide both sides by 7
One chair costs 450. Now, multiply this number by 12 to find the cost of 12 chairs.
12 chairs cost 5400.
