Answer:
16 centimetre square :p
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 3y = 20.50
-
4x+5y=22.50
=
4x-2y=-2, so you have to divide each number by 2, then
2x-y=-1, so
-y=-1-2x /-1, y=1+2x, then replace it with one original equation like the first one for instance:
8x+3(1+2x)=20.50, then
8x+3+6x=20.50, then
14x=20.50-3
14x=17.5
x=1.25, then solve y:\
y=1+2*(1.25)
y=1+2.5
y=3.5,
So answer is x=1.25, and y=3.5
actually none of them since 212 is the biggest number and should be at the end but none of the answers say so
Answer:
She paid 9% of sales tax
Step-by-step explanation:
The sale price of diamond = $375
Let x be percent of sales tax
So, amount of tax = 
So, Amount including tax = 375+3.75x
We are given that Bethany paid $408.75 for a pair of diamond stud earrings.
So, 375+3.75x=408.75
3.75x=408.75-375

x=9
Hence She paid 9% of sales tax
