Answer:
$200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the amount of Christmas money he had at the beginning.
He put 65% of X in the bank. This is 0.65x
He has $70 left which is equal to 0.35x
We need to write an equation to find the value of x.
70 = 0.35x
Divide by 0.35 to find the value of x.
70/0.35 = 0.35x/0.35
200 = x
He received $200 for Christmas.
The equation in standard form:
2x-y-10=0
Solution (7,1)
Use the elimination method
x + y=8
x - y=6
--------------Add
2x = 14
x = 7
Substitute x = 7 into x + y=8
7 + y=8
y = 8 - 7
y = 1
440.82
