One sixth of an hour is 10 minutes.
That means it costs 5,700 every 10 minutes.
Costs 5,700 = 10 minutes
Dive 10 on both sides.
Costs 570 = 1 minute
Lets convert the minute into seconds.
Costs 570 = 60 seconds
Divide both sides by 60.
Costs 9.5 cents = 1 second
Round it off since you can't pay 9.5 cents.
Costs 10 cents = 1 second
This means that every second they pay 10 cents for the hotel. :D

Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15


- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.


- Multiply
times 5y - 13.

- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

- Multiply 3 times
.

- Add
to 4y.

- Add
to both sides of the equation.

- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.


- Add
to
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.

Trisha - 17 percent
Anchara - 4/25 = 0.16 = 16 percent
Juanita - 16 - 13.3 = 2.7 2.7/16 (since 16 is the total) = 0.16875 = 16.875 percent
So Trisha reduced her time by the greatest percent (17)
