Answer:

0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Because decimals are correlated with fractions, and fractions are correlated with percentage.

Essentially, everything is out of a hundred. For example, 100% is max capacity(aka the votes in this question).

In decimals, 0.50 is half of 1.00 which is essentially also max capacity. Following this logic, if you convert 50% into decimal form, it will be 0.50, and 0.50 is one half of 1.00. The other half must be 0.50 then, because if you subtract it, that's what you get, and you can check by adding it together.

Hope this helps.

Sam wants to buy 8 pencils and 6 pens, which cost a total of $8.50. He realizes he doesn't have enough cash and instead takes on
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
X = pencils, y = pens

8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75

4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
