If you would like to know the price Jay can pay the manufacturer for the blow up bed, you can calculate this using the following steps:

100% + 40% = 140%

140% of x is $299
140% * x = 299
140/100 * x = 299      /*100/140
x = 299 * 100 / 140
x = $213.6

40% of $213.6 = 40% * 213.6 = 40/100 * 213.6 = 85.44
$213.6 + $85.44 = $299

The correct result would be $213.6.

Y are selling lollipops for $0.50 and candy bars for $1.50.
frutty [35]

Answer:

b=8

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply $0.50 by 6 (to get the amount of money she spent on lollipops)=3 then you take the 3 and subtract it from $15 which gives you 12, finally you get 1.50-12 and do that 8 times which means she bought 8 candy bars

Answer:

9. a_n=7+6n

10. a_n=a_{n-1}+7

Step-by-step explanation:

9. Given the sequence

13, 19, 25, ...

In this sequence,

a_1=13\\ \\a_2=19\\ \\a_3=25\\ \\...

Note that

a_2-a_1=19-13=6\\ \\a_3-a_2=25-19=6,

then the common difference in this sequence is d=6

You have

a_1=13\\ \\d=6,

then the explicit formula is

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\ \\a_n=13+(n-1)\cdot 6\\ \\a_n=13+6n-6\\ \\a_n=7+6n

10. Given the sequence

-10,-3, 4, 11, ...

In this sequence,

a_1=-10\\ \\a_2=-3\\ \\a_3=4\\ \\a_4=11\\ \\...

Note that

a_2-a_1=-10-(-3)=-10+3=-7\\ \\a_3-a_2=-3-4=-7\\ \\a_4-a_3=11-4=7,

then the common difference in this sequence is d=7

You have

a_1=-10\\ \\d=7,

then the recursive formula is

a_n=a_{n-1}+d\\ \\a_n=a_{n-1}+7

Each car in a rental fleet is either red or white, and there are 75 cars total. There are three more white than twice the number
professor190 [17]
Number of red cars = x
Number of white cars = y

x + y = 75
y + 3 = 2x

x + y = 75
y = 75 - x

(75 - x) + 3 = 2x
78 = 3x
26 = x

y + 3 = 2(26)
y + 3 = 52
y = 49

There are 49 white cars.

What is the answer 2(4y+1)=3y
SCORPION-xisa [38]
2(4y+1) = 3y. We need to solve for y.
First let's get ride of the parenthesis by developing 2(4y+1). This means to multiply 2 by 4y and 2 by 1, and add them.
2(4y+1) = 2*4y + 2*1 = 8y + 2
So 2(4y+1)=3y
8y+2 = 3y
Then you subtract 8y from each side to have the variables on a side and the numbers on the other:
3y - 8y = 8y + 2 - 8y
-5y = 2
Then you divide each side by -5 to get the variable y alone on a side and its value on the other:
(-5y)/-5 = 2/-5
y = -2/5

You can re-check your answer (very important):
2(4y + 1) = 2(4*-2/5 + 1) = -1.2
3y = 3 * -2/5 = -1.2
So 2(4y+1)=3y= -1.2
The answer has been approved.

Hope this Helps! :)
