Answer:
P.7500.00
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that:
The ratio of Val's savings to Dan is 2:3 at first.
Now, Dan spent P3000.00 and Val's saving became 1⅓ more of that Dan's remaining savings.
Let's say the total amount of savings they had at first was x.
Thus;
Val had: 2x/5
Dan had: 3x/5
Now, Dan spent P3000.00.
So amount Dan has left = (3x/5) - 3000
We are told Val's savings is now 1⅓ = 4/3 times that of Dan's remaining savings
Thus; 2x/5 = (4/3)((3x/5) - 3000)
2x/5 = 12x/15 - 4000
Multiply through by 15 to get;
6x = 12x - (3000 × 15)
6x = 12x - 45000
Rearranging, we have;
12x - 6x = 45000
6x = 45000
x = 45000/6
x = P.7500
.16i belive is your answer
Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>
