Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
given ×
the 2j on the denominator of the first fraction cancels with the 2j on the numerator of the second fraction, leaving the expression in simplified form as
= → D
5x + 4y = 32 ⇒ 45x + 36y = 288
9x - 1y = 33 ⇒ <u>45x - 5y = 165</u>
<u>41y</u> = <u>123</u>
41 41
y = 3
5x + 4(3) = 32
5x + 12 = 32
<u> - 12 - 12</u>
<u>5x</u> = <u>20</u>
5 5
x = 4
(x, y) = (4, 3)
Answer: price of the watch before the discount is £23.5825
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the watch.
Jason went shopping he bought a watch and a pair of trainers for a total price of £53.55. This price includes 15% loyalty discount. The value of the discount is
15/100 × 53.55 = 8.0325
This means that the original cost of both items is
53.55 + 8.0325 = 61.5825
Before the discounts, the trainers were priced at £38. Therefore,
38 + x = 61.5825
x = 61.5825 - 38
x = 23.5825
