Answer:144
Explanation: 25% of the total in other words means that it is 1/4 (a quarter). You could just multiply 36 by 4 to get the total (100%). If u want to verify, just multiply 144 by 0.25 and u should get 36.
8x-9y=19
4x+y=-7
Multiply all terms of the 2nd by (9)===> 36x + 9y= 63
add (36x 9y= 63) to the 1st ===> 44x+0y = -44 ===> x=-1
replace x by this value in any of the equation & you'll get y=-3
4.8 is the answer hahehehehehehe sorry jus needs to be this many characters long
Well, 1/2 is equal to 5/10... so 7/10 - 5/10 is 2/10 because 7-5=2 :)
