5/8 = .625
531.25 / .625 = 850
850 - 531.25 = $318.75
1) name the variables:
- amount in account 1 "a"
- amount in account 2 "b"
2) trtanslate the statements into equations:
<span>- the
difference between account 1 and account 2 is $100.
=> a - b = 100
- if she uses 3/8 of
account 1 and 7/8 of account 2, Dawn will have a down payment of $2,000.
=> (3/8)a + (7/8)b = 2000
3) solve the system of equations
(1) a - b = 100
(2) (3/8)a + (7/8b) = 2000
Steps:
- multiply equation (1) by 7 and equaton (2) by 8
=>
(1) 7a - 7b = 700
(2) 3a + 7b = 16,000
- add the two equations
=>
7a + 3a - 7b + 7b = 700 + 16,000
- combine like terms:
10a = 16,700
- divide by 10:
a = 16,700 / 10 = 1670
- use equation (1) to find b:
a - b = 100 => b = a - 100 = 1670 - 100 = 1570
Answer: Dawn has $ 1670 in account 1 and
$ 1570 in account 2.

Answer:
???
Step-by-step explanation:
This is VERY confusing. Seems like it's already answered there.
Answer:
The mass of cocoa in chocolate candy is 3 g.
Step-by-step explanation:
30gr chocolate candy, mark on its packaging that it contains 10% cocoa, how many grams of cocoa does this represent?
mass of chocolate candy = 30 g
cocoa contains = 10 %
Now the mass of cocoa = 10 % of 30 g = 0.1 x 30 = 3 g
Mass of cocoa in the candy is 3 g.
Answer:
$20.11 (assuming S325 was meant to be $3.25)
Step-by-step explanation:
50.00 - 5.52 = 44.48
44.48 - 3.25 = 41.23
41.23 -21.12 = 20.11
Hope this helps <3
