Answer:
(2/3)x = -11
x = -33/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 of a number is -11.
Let the unknown number be x.
2/3 of x is -11.
(2/3)x = -11
Multiply both sides by 3/2.
(3/2)(2/3)x = (3/2)(-11/1)
x = -33/2
Answer:
y = 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations can be added to eliminate x:
(0.1x +0.5y) + (-0.1x -0.2y) + (1.2) +(-0.8)
0.3y = 0.4 . . . . . simplify
Divide by the coefficient of y to find y:
y = 0.4/0.3
y = 4/3
Well, we know that y=1/2x+5 from the first equation. if we substitute that into the second equation, it becomes 2x + 1/2x +5 =1. solve for x. 2x+1/2x= -4, 2 1/2x=-4, x=-1.6. plug that in to one of the equations. 2(-1.6)+y=1, -3.2+y=1, y=-2.2. the solution is (-1.6, -2.2)
$1.4-0.52=$0.88
So, Joel makes $0.88 profits for every sales.
To overcome rent fee, We need $36.
36/0.88= 40.90909....
So, Joel needs to sell at least 41 iceCream on country fair to make profits.
