Answer:

Answer to Part A: To solve this we must first find out how much of a discount is there. First we must divide 49.99 by 2 which equals about 24.99. After that we minis the discount with the original price, which equals 25.00. Then we divide 25.00 by 8 which equals 3.12. So then the sales tax must be 3.12 dollars.

Answer to Part B- First do all the math from Part A, then just add 3.12 to the price of 25.00. Which equals 28.12 so the answer must be 28.12 Dollars.

Ally and Beck went fishing and caught a total of 75 fish. At home,
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish
