Answer:
c = 1.05p
Step-by-step explanation:
the price of the hat before the increase was 100%, after the increase it becomes 100 + 5% = 105%. Representing it as a decimal becomes 1.05p
Let illustrate with an example.
The price of a hat was $100, after the 5% increase. the cost of the hat becomes
100 + (0.05 x 100) = 105
To find the percentage increase
divide 105 by 100 and subtract 1
(105/100) - 1 = 1.05
Answer:
y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both expressions are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:
3x+5=8x+3
5=5x+3
2=5x
2/5=x
0.4=x
Now to solve y:
y=8(2/5)+3
y=16/5+3
y=3.2+3
y=6.2
Check answers:
6.2=3(0.4)+5
6.2=1.2+5
6.2=6.2
6.2=8(0.4)+3
6.2=3.2+3
6.2=6.2
Answers work, so y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2) as an ordered pair
1.) expand
3x - 15 - 5x = 25 + 6x
2.) simplify
-2x - 15 = 25 + 6x
3.) add 2x to both sides
-15 = 25 + 6x + 2x
4.) simplify
-15 = 25 + 8x
5.) subtract 25 from both sides
-15 - 25 = 8x
6.) simplify -15 - 25 to -40
-40 = 8x
7.) divide both sides by 8
-40/8 = x
8.) x = -5
