Answer:

c = 1.05p

Step-by-step explanation:

the price of the hat before the increase was 100%, after the increase it becomes 100 + 5% = 105%. Representing it as a decimal becomes 1.05p

Let illustrate with an example.

The price of a hat was $100, after the 5% increase. the cost of the hat becomes

100 + (0.05 x 100) = 105

To find the percentage increase

divide 105 by 100 and subtract 1

(105/100) - 1 = 1.05

3x+7y=-6<br> 7x+3y=26<br> solve by elimenation
Artemon [7]
3x+7y=-6 -7x+3y=26 -4x+4y=-32 +4x on both sides and you end up with 4y=-32+4x now divide both sides by 4 and you get y=-8+x then to incorporate that in one of the problems 3x+7(-8+x)=-6 do the distributive property with the 7 into the () and you get 3x-56+7x=-6 now add all common variables and get 10x-56=-6 now add 56 to both sides and you get 10x=50 now divide by 10 on both side and you get x=5 now for getting y to equal a number instead of an equation 3(5)+7y=-6 15+7y=-6 subtract 15 on both sides to get 7y=-21 not divide by 7 on both sides to get y=-3 your answers are y=-3 and x=5
