Answer:
0.45<0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
s = sweater
j = jeans
Equations:
4s + 2j = 140
2s + 3j = 150
B)
4s + 2j = 140
2s + 3j = 150
Multiply (-2) to the second equation
-2 (2s + 3j = 150)
-4s - 6j = -300
Now you have the equations:
4s + 2j = 140
-4s - 6j = -300
-----------------------------add
-4j = -160
j = 40
4s + 2(40) = 140
4s + 80 = 140
4s = 60
s = 15
The cost for a sweater is $15 and the cost for a jean is $40
We used the elimination method to solve the system of equations.
C)
Each pair of jean, she will buy 3 sweaters so total = 40 + 3(15) = $85
Total cost for 1 pair of jeans and 3 sweaters = $85
If she has $225 the
$225 / $85 = 2.64
2 jeans = 2 x 40 = $80
6 sweaters = 6 x $15 = $90
So She can only buy 2 jeans and 6 sweaters
First, we simplify this to 3/4-j/12=0. 4/4=1 so we do, -j=-51/4*-1. Therefore, the answer is j=51/4. Hoped I helped. :)
Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Original price = $55.00
Discounted price = $46.75
Discount = $55.00 - $46.75 = $8.25
Percent Discount = (Discount / Original price) x 100%
= (8.25 / 55.00) x 100%
= 0.15 x 100%
= 15%
