Question 19

Suppose you buy a $50 coffee maker in an area where the sales tax is 8%. When you check out, 8% of $50 would be added to your to

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

8% is also 8/100. This would be true for all percents 0 to 100%. If it were 42% it can be written as 42/100.

So, 8% is 8/100. If you want to find 8/100 of 50 multiply them.

8/100 * 50/1 = (8*50) /100

400/100 = 4

1. What is the value of the y variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

ollegr [7]

Part 1)

we have

$3x-6y=3$ ------> equation A

$7x-5y=-11$ ------> equation B

Multiply by $-7$ the equation A

$-7(3x-6y)=-7*3$

$-21x+42y=-21$ ------> equation C

Multiply by $3$ the equation B

$3*(7x-5y)=-11*3$

$21x-15y=-33$ -------> equation D

Adds equation C and equation D

$-21x+42y=-21 \\21x-15y=-33\\---------- \\ 42y-15y=-21-33\\27y=-54 \\ y=-2$

therefore

the answer Part 1) is the option A

$y=-2$

Part 2)

we have

$3x+y=6$

$y=-3x+6$ ------> equation A

$6x+2y=8$

Simplify Divide by $2$ both sides

$3x+y=4$

$y=-3x+4$ ------> equation B

the lines A and B are parallel lines, because the slope m is equal

so

The system has no solution

therefore

the answer Part 2) is the option D

There is no x value as there is no solution to the system.

Part 3)

we have

$4x+2y=6$ ------> equation A

$x-y=3$

$y=x-3$ ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$4x+2[x-3]=6$

$6x-6=6$

$6x=12$

$x=2$

therefore

the answer part 3) is the option D

$x=2$

Part 4)

Let

x---------> The number of one-step equations

y---------> The number of two-step equations

we know that

$x+y=1,120$

$x=1,120-y$ -------> equation A

$3x-2y=1,300$ ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$3[1,120-y]-2y=1,300$

$3,360-5y=1,300$

$5y=3,360-1,300$

$5y=2,060$

$y=412$

therefore

the answer part 4) is the option D

$y=412$

Answer: the cost of each pencil is $0.5

the cost of each eraser is $0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one pencil.

Let y represent the cost of one eraser.

Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers. This means that

2x + 3y = 1.45- - - - - - - - - -1

Luke spent $2.65 for 5 pencils and 1 eraser. This means that

5x + y = 2.65- - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

2x + 3y = 1.45

15x + 3y = 7.95

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13x = - 6.5

x = - 6.5/- 13

x = 0.5

Substituting x = 0.5 into equation 2, it becomes

5 × 0.5 + y = 2.65

2.5 + y = 2.65

y = 2.65 - 2.5

y = 0.15
