Okay, so
a=2b+11
<span>a+b = 2(a-b) </span>
<span>now solve </span>
<span>a+b = 2a-2b </span>
<span>3b = a, put that into the 1st equation: </span>
<span>3b = 2b+11 </span>
<span>b=11 </span>
<span>a = 2(11) +11 = 33 </span>
<span>check in the 2nd equation: </span>
<span>33+11 = 2(33-11) </span>
<span>44 = 2(22) </span>
<span>44 = 44</span>
I tired I don’t know if it’s correct
Answer:
<u>Jeanette’s ticket was less than the original price by 12 percent</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's calculate the 20% discount price Jeanette received:
75 - 0.2 * 75 = 75 - 15 = $ 60
The discounted price is $ 60
2. Let's calculate the 10% service fee to the discounted price:
60 + 0.1 * 60 = 60 + 6 = $ 66
The price including the service fee is $ 66
3. Finally, let's calculate the less percentage than the original price:
Let's use the Direct Rule of Three, this way:
Price Percentage
75 100
66 x
**************************
75x = 66 * 100
75x = 6,600
x = 6,600/75
x = 88
Less percentage = 100 - 88 = 12%
