-7y-4x=17y-2x=53
-4x=24y-2x=53
-2x=24y=53
24y+2x=53
You would have to solve one at a time.
y=53/24
y=2.21
x=53/2
x=26.5
Answer:
Both Oscar and Kim will have enough to purchase the book.
Step-by-step explanation:
Oscar takes 30% of the normal price and subtracts it from the normal price. Out of 100% price he takes 30% so the result is: 100-30%= 70% of the normal price. Oscar's first step has the same result as Kim.
Oscar takes 10% of the discounted price (70%) and adds it back. The price will become 70% + 10%*70%= 77% of original price. Kim multiplies the discounted price with 110%, so the price will be: 70% * 110%= 77%. Both also give the same result.
The final price is 77% of the original, it will be: $28.50* 77%= $21.945
Oscar :
28.50 - 0.30(28.50) = 28.50 - 8.55 = 19.95
0.10(19.95) + 19.95 = 2 + 19.95 = 21.95
Kim :
0.7(28.50) = 19.95
1.10(19.95) = 21.95
He drove 140 miles you take 245 divide by 7 then times by 4
400(1.07)=428
28(5)=140
140+400= 540.
$540 is your answer
