To find the value of x, you need to set up a proportion.This is the proportion you would set up:
2.5 x
---- = ------
3.75 60
x=40
Initial balance, I = $2376.10 .
Total amount of purchase made, A = $( 875.22+65.75+45.22+21.23 ) = $1007.42 .
Total amount credit, c = $875.22 .
Fine, f = $45.30 .
Another purchase,
.
So, balance left is :
B = I - A - f - a + c
B = 2376.10 - 1007.42 - 45.30 - 59.4025 + 875.22
B = $2139.1975
Hence, this is the required solution.
1x+ 3y = -12x + 2y = 6
+12x +12x
13x + 3y = 2y = 6
+3y +3y
13x = 5y = 6
13x = 5y and 5y = 6
