Answer:
$111
Step-by-step explanation:
The bank balance is ...
$700 × (1 + 0.05) = $735
The cost of the computer is ...
$750 × (1 -0.20) × (1 +0.04) = $624
The remaining bank balance after paying for the computer is ...
$735 -624 = $111

When you add a percentage, you effectively multiply by the sum of 1 and that percentage. The same is true if the amount "added" is negative (as for a discounted price).
(original amount) + (percentage)×(original amount)
Use the distributive property to factor out the original amount:
= (original amount)×(1 + percentage)
-6 + 7 = 1 and -6*7 = -42
So f(x) = (x + 7)(x - 6)
1,234
One thousand
Two hundred
Thirty four
Let n be the number of lbs of nuts.
Let r be the number of lbs of raisins.
9n + 3r = 60 * 5 = 300 .............(1)
n + r = 60
n = 60 - r ...............(2)
Plugging the expression for n in (2) into (1) we get:
9(60 - r) + 3r = 300
which expands to:
540 - 9r + 3r = 300 .............(3)
Simplifying and rearranging (3) we get:
-6r = -240
Therefore r, the weight of raisins = 40 lbs
and the weight of nuts is 60 - 40 = 20 lbs
