Answer:

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of candy bars ready to sell

y be the number of chips ready to sell

According to given statement;

x+y=575     Eqn 1

x+0.5y= 500     Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(x+y)-(x+0.5y)=575-500

x+y-x-0.5y=75

0.5y = 75

Dividing both sides by 0.5

\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{75}{0.5}\\y=150

Putting y=150 in Eqn 1

x+150 = 575

x = 575-150

x = 425

Hence,

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Gekata [30.6K]
TO get 6% of 20 we have to write 6% in decimal (or fraction if u want but decimal allows u to multiply it easier i think)
6%=0.06=\frac{6}{100}
Now u have to mulitply 0.06 times 20
0.06*20=1.2 - its the result

In the diagram below, P is circumscribed about quadrilateral ABCD. What is the value of x?
alexira [117]
We know that
In any quadrilateral where the vertices are on the circumference of a circle, the opposite angles add up to 180 degrees. 

So,
 in this problem
(x+20) + 110 = 180 \\ x+130=180 \\ x=180-130 \\ x=50degrees

therefore

the answer is
x=50degrees
