Answer:

The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

First take 60 percent off

x - x*60% = new price

x- .60x = .40x

The new price is .40x

Then take 15 % off

(.40x) - (.40x)*15%

.40x - .40x*.15

.40x - .06x

.34x

100 -.34 =.66

The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.Josiah has punch c
love history [14]

Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

\begin{gathered} T=2+7x \\ \text{and} \\ C=11+4x \end{gathered}

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.

Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

\begin{gathered} T=C \\ \Rightarrow2+7x=11+4x \\ \Rightarrow3x=9 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \Rightarrow x=3 \end{gathered}

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ \Rightarrow T=2+7\cdot3=23 \\ \Rightarrow T=23 \end{gathered}

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
