Let the cost of the shirt be y and the price by the which the shirt is sold is 2y. This means that at 15% discount, the shirt is sold at 1.7 of its original cost.
Answer:
Given below
Step-by-step explanation:
M is Mikey and B is Betty in,
Current ages:
M= x
B= 3x (cuz she is 3 times older)
After 5 years
M= x+5
B= 3x+5 (5 years added to present age)
It says the ages of Betty after 5 years (3x+5) will be twice as much as Mikey (2(X+5))
So,
3x+5 = 2(x+5)
3x+5 = 2x+10
3x -2x = 10-5
x = 5
Therefore,
The current ages are
Betty : 3x = 3*5 = 15
Mikey: 5 (x)
You can verify by checking with the criterias or clues given in the question.. hope this helps..mark as brainiest if this was helpful:)
Get y alone
so
-8y=13-7x (by subtracting 7x from both sides)
now you still want y by itself so you divide by -8
leaving you with
y=-13/8 + 7/8
100% --- $79.99
1% --- $(79.99÷100) = $0.7999
20% off means 100% - 20% = 80%
80% --- $0.7999×80 = $63.992
Leave it to the nearest cent: $63.99 ---- Answer!
