Answer:

Stefan originally spent $110.

Stefan made a profit of $44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Stefan sold the bike and helmet for $137 and $17

Total amount = 137+17 = $154

This is 140% of the price Stefan originally paid.

Let,

x be the original price paid by Stefan

140% of x = $154

\frac{140}{100}x=154\\1.4x = 154\\\frac{1.4x}{1.4}=\frac{154}{1.4}\\x=110

Therefore,

Stefan originally paid $110 for the bicycle and helmet.

Profit made by Stefan = 154-110 = $44

Hence,

Stefan originally spent $110.

Stefan made a profit of $44.

If x and y are both negative when is x-y positive
Vladimir [108]
X-y is positive when y is further away from 0, compared to x. In other words, when y is a larger negative

For example
x = -2
y = -5

x-y = -2-(-5) = -2+5 = 3

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks. The volleyball team
almond37 [142]

Answer: After washing 20 cars together, each team will have raised the same amount in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that each each teams will wash for them to raise the same amount in total.

The volleyball team gets $4 per car. In addition, they have already brought in $24 from past fundraisers. This means that the total amount raised by the volleyball team after washing x cars would be

4x + 24

The wrestling team has raised $84 in the past, and they are making $1 per car today. This means that the total amount raised by the wrestling team after washing x cars would be

x + 84

For both amounts to be equal, the number of cars would be

4x + 24 = x + 84

4x - x = 84 - 24

3x = 60

x = 60/3

x = 20

HELP 20 POINTS!
Butoxors [25]
For the first blank where it asks for the perimeter, the perimeter is all the outside sides of a shape added up. So, 6 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 5 = 22.

For the second blank, you just multiply the entire perimeter by 5, so, 22 times 5=110.

For the third blank, it is basically the same as the previous question. The answer is 5.

For the fourth blank, it is the same perimeter as the first blank, but instead of centimeters, it is in k. So, 22k.

Hope this helped! :)
