X would equal 9. Subtract 18 from both sides then divide by two to get 9 as X
G(x)-f(x)=10x+2- (-8x+5)
=10x+2+8x-5
=18x-3
We are given the retail price of desk as $320. The store takes 50% off of the retail price of desk, then its price would become half of the original.
So its new price would be $160.
Now it says that it takes an additional 20% off of all furniture on store's holiday sale. So we need to cut off 20% from new price $160.
Holiday discount = 20% of $160 = 0.2 × 160 = 32.
Final selling price would be = $160 - $32 = $128.
So $128 is the final answer.
Answer:
16 mls of the 75% solution and 20 mls of the 0.57% solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a system of equations:
Let x = volume of 75% solution and y be volume of 57% solution
0.75x + 0.57y = 36*0.65
0.75x + 0.57y = 23.4.......(1)
x + y = 36.........(2)
From equation (2):
y = 36 - x
Substituting this into equation(1):
0.75x + (0.57(36 - x) = 23.4
0.75x + 20.52 - 0.57x = 23.4
0.18x = 23.40 - 20.52 = 2.88
x = 2.88/0.18
x = 16
so from equation (2): y = 36-16 = 20.
