Answer:
The value of the snack bar is $ 2 and that of the magazine subscription is 25 $
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a system of two equations and two unknowns, which would be the following:
let "x" be the cost of the snack bar
Let "y" be the cost of the magazine subscription
16 * x + 4 * y = 132
20 * x + 6 * y = 190 => y = (190 - 20 * x) / 6
replacing:
16 * x + 4 * (190 - 20 * x) / 6 = 132
16 * x + 126.66 - 13.33 * x = 132
2.66 * x = 132 - 126.66
x = 5.34 / 2.66
x = 2
for "y":
y = (190 - 20 * 2) / 6
y = 25
Which means that the value of the snack bar is $ 2 and that of the magazine subscription is 25 $
To decrease this amount by 15% we must first find out what is 15% percent.
We can do that by multiplying the decimal of 15% by 120
15% = 0.15
0.15 x 120 = 18
So 18 is 15% of 120.
Wait! that's not the answer. We are asked to decrease by 15%
So 120 - 18 = 102
Your answer is £102
Answer : Option A
Explanation:
we can clearly see that from x+ y=5 we can substitute y = 5-x in y = 9x^2
Option B is clearly incorrect x can not be y -5
Option C is incorrect because y can not be 5 +x
Option D is incorrect because its y = 9x^2 not y^2 =9x^2 so y can not be 3x
if its y^2 = 9x^2 then only implies y = 3x
