<u>Answer:</u>
The system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
and, 6x + 5y = 13700 ……equation (2)
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let x = amount of sales of phone;
y = amount of sales of computer
For phone, 6% of sales is 6% of x, or 6% * x = 0.06x.
Similarly for computer,
5% of y = 0.05y
Given the total sales; x + y = 2600
And commission; 0.06x + 0.05y = 137; or 6x + 5y = 13700
Therefore the system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
6 x + 5 y = 13700 ……equation (2)
640,700 :- the four in this number is 40,000
67,040 :- the four in this number is 40
Now, we need to find out how many times greater 40,000 is than 40.
40,000/40 = 1000
Answer: It is 1000 times greater.
First you need to find the common denominator. both 6 and 7 go in to 42 evenly
multiply 5/6 by 7 to get 35/42
multiply 2/7 by 6 to get 12/42
subtract 12 from 35 to get 23
23/42
57.4/10=5.74
the answer is 5.74
