Answer:

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = friends that paid discount price

y = friends that paid regular price

x + y = 12 (1)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

From (1)

x = 12 - y

Substitute x = 12 - y into (2)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

6(12 - y) + 8y = 80

72 - 6y + 8y = 80

- 6y + 8y = 80 - 72

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into (1)

x + y = 12 (1)

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 - 4

x = 8

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4

What is the area of the cross section if the length is 12 cm and the width is 10 cm?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

120 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

  • Length is 12 cm
  • Width is 10 cm

We are required  to determine the area of the cross section;

  • Note that the cross section is the plane of a solid that remains constant through the solid.
  • In this case, the cross section is a rectangle whose dimensions are 12 cm by 10 cm.

But Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Therefore;

Area of cross section = 12 cm × 10 cm

                                   = 120 cm²

Thus, area of the cross section is 120 cm²

Can anyone help? I’ll give Brainly, it’s not 5.5 x 60,000 :(
zhenek [66]

Answer:

2850

Step-by-step explanation:

You pay 3% on the first 10,000, 5% on the next 40,000, and 5.5% on the last 10,000.

10,000x.03=300

40,000x0.05=2000

10,000x.055=550

2000+550+300=2,850
