Answer:

pencils=$4

pen=$1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let pencils be x and pens be y

Mara bought 8 boxes of pencils and 3 packages of pens for $24

8x+3y=24------------1

Elaine bought 4 boxes of pencils and 6 packages of pens for $30

4x+6y=30------------2

solve 1 and 2 simulteneoulsy

8x+3y=24---------X1

4x+6y=30----------X2

subtract the answer bellow

8x+3y=24

8x+12y=60

0-9y=-36

divide both sides by- 9

y=36/9

y=$4

put y= 4 in 1

8x+3*4=24

8x+12=24

8x=24-12

8x=12

divide both side by 8

x= 12/8

x=3/2

x= $1.5

Suppose 15% of x equals 20% of y. What percentage of x is y ?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

x = 133\frac{1}{3} of y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

15% of x equals 20% of y

So,

0.15x = 0.20y

so

x = 0.20 y / 0.15

x = 1.3333y

x = 133\frac{1}{3} of y
