Answer:
Total taxes = $1,520
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two separate calculations for the taxes:
The tax rate for the first $5,000 of Clarisa's gross pay is 1%, so the amount of tax paid in this case is
1% * 5000 = $50
The tax rate for the amount of value over $5,000 (that is, 54,000 - 5,000 = 49,000) is 3%, so the amount of tax is:
3% * 49,000 = $1,470
So, the total amount deducted for state taxes is:
Total taxes = 50 + 1470 = $1,520
For this case we have:
x: Represents the number of carrot boxes
y: Represents the number of boxes of potatoes
Initially we have:

If you sold 68 boxes of carrot we have:

If you sold 71 boxes of potatoes, we have:

The number of boxes I take home is given by:
ANswer:
7 boxes of carrots left
There are 9 boxes of potatoes left
A total of 16 boxes remain
I want to say it’s the second one
To answer this you can use a guess and check strategy.
Start with 5 minutes using it (25% lost) and 10 minutes charging (20% gained).
Try 7 minutes using it (35% lost) and 14 minutes charging (28%).
Next, 9 minutes (45%) and 18 minutes(36%).
10 minutes (50%) and 20 minutes (40%). This is the difference.
She used it for 10 minutes and charged it for 20 minutes.
0.3(4x-8)-0.5(2.4x+4)
1.2x-2.4-1.2x+2
