Answer: $1900

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Lim had enough money to buy 6 similar lamps. However he only bought 3 such lamps. That means he had only spent half of his money (6-3=3).

So, if he take money remaining with him = x = $950

Amount of money he first had = 2x =$950×2 = $1900

Let the cost of a lamp = x

6 lamps would cost 6x

He bought 3 lamps at 3x plus Thad 950 left.

3 lamps plus the 950

Would be the same amount as 6 lamps:

Set up an equation and solve for x:

3x + 950 = 6x

Subtract 3x from both sides:

950 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 316.67

Each lamp was $316.67

Multiply the price of a lamp by 6:

316.67 x 6 = 1900

He had $1900

<h3>Answer:  9/50</h3>

Explanation:

Any percentage converts to that number over 100.

So 18% would convert to 18/100

We then reduce the fraction by dividing each part by the GCF 2

18/2 = 9

100/2 = 50

The fraction 18/100 fully reduces to 9/50

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

$25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You already have 2,000 so all you need to do is get the other 2,000. So you would have to divide 7,000 by 100 which =70 then multiply it by 8 and you get 560. so times it by 4 you get 2,240 so he would need to sale about 28,000 to get 4240, but it a little over, so the answer to get $4000 is not perfect but the closest is $25,004 which is 7,000/100=70 x 3.5715 which will be $2,000.04.

3. Sоlvе з+2У-1 and x-2y = 13. (D)<br>ху<br>ху​

Answer:

The value of x and y for the given two linear equation is x = 7 , y = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two linear equation as :

x + 2 y - 1 = 0            

Or, x + 2 y = 1               ..........A

x - 2 y = 13                    ............B

Now, Solving both equations A and B

i.e (x + 2 y) + (x - 2 y) = 1 + 13

Or, (x + x) + (2 y - 2 y) = 14

Or, 2 x + 0 = 14

Or, 2 x = 14

∴ x = \dfrac{14}{2}

i.e x = 7

Now, Put the value of x into eq A

So, 7 + 2 y = 1

Or, 2 y = 1 - 7

Or, 2 y = - 6

∴  y = \dfrac{- 6}{2}

i.e y = - 3

So, The value s of x = 7 and y = - 3

Hence, The value of x and y for the given two linear equation is x = 7 ,          y = - 3 Answer
