Associative property is only applied to addition and multiplication. Thus, it can't be applied to subtraction. This property is manifested when you get the same answer no matter where you put the parenthesis. Example of associative property is:
(50 + 2) + (92 + 6) = 52+98 = 150
50 + (2+92) + 6 = 50 + 94 + 6 = 150
Here is the counter example for the subtraction of decimals:
(3.45 - 8.92) - (1.9 - 7.3) = -5.47 - ⁻5.4 = -0.07
3.45 - (8.92 - 1.9) - 7.3 = 3.45 - 7.02 - 1.9 = -5.47
As you can see, the answers are not the same.
We call x the 4 points-worth problems and y the 3 points-worth problems
You know that x+y = 32
4x+3y = 111
You know that the difference from the x and y is 32 so write:
x = 32-y
Substitute at x the value of 32-y
4(32-y)+3y = 111
128-4y +3y = 111
-4y+3y = 111-128
-y = -17
y = 17
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. subtract the new price from the original price
2. divide the difference by the original number
÷ 
3. multiply this number by 100
I=prt.....
i=5000*10*0.03=1500
5000+1500=6500
