Answer: 22.222222222.....%
Put it into an equation.
<u>32 </u> x <u>(x)</u>
144 100
Cross multiply, then divide.
32 x 100 = 3,200
3,200 / 144 = 22.222222222......%
Answer:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Dryer cost $475; Washer cost $382
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we will simply set up a system of equations to find the value of each the washer (variable x) and the dryer (variable y).
We are given the washer and dryer cost $857 together.
x + y = 857
We are also given that the washer cost $93 less than the dryer.
x = y - 93
So to find the cost of the dryer, we simply need to find the value of y.
x + y = 857
x = y - 93
( y - 93 ) + y = 857
2y - 93 = 857
2y = 950
y = 475
So now we have the value of the dry to be $475. We can check this by simply plugging in the value and see if it makes sense.
x + y = 857
x + 475 = 857
x = 382
And check this value:
x = y - 93
382 ?= 475 - 93
382 == 382
Therefore, we have found the values of both the washer and the dryer.
Cheers.
