Answer:
Percent increase is 17.6%
We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent increase = (new- original)/original *100%
= (10-8.5)/8.5 * 100%
= 1.5/8.5 * 100%
= 17.6470588%
Round to the nearest tenth
17.6%
This is an increase since the cost went up.
If we have 25% off, we still have to pay (100%-25%) = 75%
10 *.75 = 7.50
We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon
Answer:
For #21, x = 35, y = 85
Step-by-step explanation:
For these types of problems, you will simply use to facts. The sum of the measure of a line is 180 degrees, and alternate angles of crossing lines are equivalent. With that being said, let's work #21.
We can see that there are two lines, and we are given 2 values to find with 3 possible equations.
[1] ( 2x + 25 ) + y = 180
[2] y + ( 3x - 10 ) = 180
[3] 2x + 25 = 3x - 10
Using any of these equations, we can solve for the variables. Let's use the 1st and 3rd equations to find x and y.
2x + 25 = 3x - 10
2x + -2x + 25 + 10 = 3x + -2x + -10 + 10
35 = x
Now plug in the value of x to find y:
( 2x + 25 ) + y = 180
( 2(35) + 25 ) + y = 180
( 70 + 25 ) + y = 180
95 + y = 180
y = 85
We can check these values by plugging into the 2nd equation
x = 35 ; y = 85
y + ( 3x - 10 ) = 180
(85) + (3(35) - 10) = 180
85 + ( 105 - 10) = 180
85 + 95 = 180
180 = 180
Thus, we have validated our results and found the values of x and y.
Cheers.
Answer:
i. $ 37,560
ii. $14,400
iii. $51,960
Step-by-step explanation:
3130 x 12 = 37,560
2% of 720,000 = 14,400
14,400 + 37,560 = $51,960
Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
