Answer:
<u>The number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pens x, and the number of pencils is y
the cost of one pen $1, and the cost of one pencil $0.5
The cost of the whole purchase was $220
1 * x + 0.5 * y = 220
x + 0.5 y = 220 ⇒ eq.(1)
there were 80 more pencils than pens
y - x = 80 ⇒ eq.(2)
from eq.(2) x = y - 80
By substitution with x from the last equation at eq.(1)
∴ (y - 80) + 0.5 y = 220
1.5y = 220 + 80 = 300
y = 300/1.5 = 200
x = y - 80 = 200 - 80 = 120
<u>So, the number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is generally given as;
where m = the slope of the line
b = the y-intercept of the line
Two lines are said to be parallel if they have the same slope. Looking at the two given equations below, we see that the slope of the 1st one, 5/7, is different from the slope of the 2nd one, 7/5;
Two lines are said to be perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, let's go ahead and compare their slopes;
So the two lines are not perpendicular to each other. It, therefore, means that the correct answer will be Neither.
16/25 = 0.64 = 64%
Another way to do it is to multiply top and bottom by 4
16/25 = (16*4)/(25*4) = 64/100 = 64%
Either way, the answer is 64%
