Answer:

She will have a loss of $ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Purchase price of car = $ 3000

20% of 3000 = \frac{20}{100}*3000

                     = 20 * 30

                    = $ 600

Selling price = 3000 + 600 = $ 3600

Reduction price = 20%  of 3600

                          \frac{20}{100}*3600

                       = 20  * 36

                       = $ 720

Current selling price after reduction = 3600 - 720

                                                            = $ 2880

Loss = 3000 - 2880

        = $ 120

She will break even
3000x20%=600. Which is above her purchase price total 3600 and she couldn’t sell.
She reduced the asking price(3600) by 20%
Which would -600. Now she’s asking 3000 what she paid.
Hope this helps

Talia is buying beads to make bracelets. She makes a bracelet with 7 plastic beads and 5 metal beads for $7.25. She makes anothe
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
<h2>Plastic Beads = $0.50</h2><h2>Metal Beads = $0.75</h2><h2 />

p = Plastic Beads

m = Metal Beads

Equations:

7p + 5m = 7.25

9p + 3m = 6.75

Make one pair of coefficients the same:

3 * (7p + 5m = 7.25) = 21p + 15m = 21.75

5 * (9p + 3m = 6.75) = 45p + 15m = 33.75

Remove that coefficient;

(45p + 15m) - (21p + 15m) = 33.75 - 21.75

(45p - 21p ) + ( 15m - 15m) = 33.75 - 21.75

24p = 12

24p / 24 = 12 / 24

<h3><u>p = 0.5</u></h3><h3 />

Substitute the result into one of the original equations.

(7 * 0.5) + 5m = 7.25

Rearrange to find the missing value:

7.25 - (7 * 0.5) = 5m

7.25 - 3.5 = 3.75

5m = 3.75

5m / 5 = 3.75 / 5

<h3><u>m = 0.75</u></h3>

A shop owner can buy two televisions and three DVD players for $1750 or four televisions and one DVD players for $1250. Find the
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Television = $200 and DVD player = $450

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Make 2 equations

Televisions = t and DVD players = d

2t + 3d = 1750

4t + d = 1250

→ Multiply the bottom equation by 3 to make the same variable of d

2t + 3d = 1750

12t + 3d = 3750

→ Minus the two equations to isolate the d variable

-10t = -2000

→ Divide both sides by -10 to find the cost of one television

t = 200

→ Substitute t = 200 back into 4t + d = 1250

800 + d = 1250

→ Minus 800 from both sides to isolate d

d = 450

x+5(x+1)=65

x+5x+5=65

6x=65-5=60

x=60/6=10

You can use substitution or elimination method to solve.  <em>I used substitution.</em>

2(1/2y + 5) + 3y = -14

y + 10 + 3y = -14

4y + 10 = -14

4y = -24

y = -6

x = 1/2y + 5  = 1/2(-6) + 5   = -3 + 5  = 2

x = 2, y = -6
