The answer is 12 i have answered a question just like dis disrigard the 1 and the genres just add the total number of cds
Answer:
$219.99
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the price without the sale tax you find the opposite of 12%, which would be 88%. Then you multiply .88 by 249.99 to get 219.9912, and since it is money you round to the hundreth to get 219.99.
Answer: x+y = 40
We have a = 1, b = 1, c = 40
=================================
Explanation:
x = number of nickels
y = number of quarters
The equation 0.05x+0.25y = 5 represents adding the values from the nickels and quarters
0.05x = value of just the nickels
0.25y = value of just the quarters
0.05x+0.25y = total value = 5 dollars
That's how that first equation was formed.
-------------
Based on those x and y definitions above, we know that x+y = 40 because there are 40 coins of either nickels or quarters only. So the sum of the two coin counts must be 40 overall.
The equation x+y = 40 is the same as 1x+1y = 40. This equation is in the form ax+by = c where,
a = 1
b = 1
c = 40
