Giselle works as a carpenter and as a blacksmith.
seropon [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

$20/hr carpenter pay

$25/hr blacksmith pay

Let c = hours working carpentry

Let b = hours working as blacksmith

c + b = 30 {equation 1}

20c + 25b = 690 {equation 2}

In equation 1 solve for one variable in terms of the other.

c = 30-b

Substitute that into equation 2:

20(30-b) + 25b = 690

600 - 20b + 25b = 690

5b = 90

b = 90/5

b = 18 hours working as a blacksmith

c = 30-b = 30-18 = 12 hours as a carpenter

Baseball hat is on sale for 15% off, which is $2.70. How much does the baseball hat cost at full price?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

27.9 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

2.70= 15 percent

2.70x2=5.4=30 percent

5.4+2.70=8.1=45 percent

8.1x2=16.2=95 percent

95 percent + 15 percent=18.9

18.9=105 percent

in order to subtract 5 percent we need to find 5 percent by dividing 2.70 by 3

which = .9

18.9+9=27.9

100 percent is 27.9 dollars
