Answer:

  • 1440

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The equations to reflect the given:</u>

  • x + y = 2640
  • x = y + 20% ⇒ x = 1.2y

<u>Substitute the value of x into first equation and solve for y:</u>

  • 1.2y + y = 2640
  • 2.2y = 2640
  • y = 2640/2.2
  • y = 1200

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = 2640 - 1200 = 1440

Answer:

I do not understand she question do you mean the sum of their income is 2640

if so, then the answer is 440 to be x income

Step-by-step explanation:

x income = 20% or 1/5 of y income

y income = 5 of x income

we know that the sum of their income = 2640

which means that

x + y = 2640 =

1/5y + y = 2640

6y/5 = 2640

cross multiply to give us

6y = 5(2640)

6y = 13200

divide through by 6 to give us,

6y/6 = 13200/6

y = 2200

since we know that x income is 20% y income,

therefore, x income =

20/100 * 2200

= 440

therefore,

x income = 440

y income = 2200

Mr. and Mrs. Storey drove 3,200 miles in all during their vacation. Mr. Storey drove 3 times as much as Mrs. Storey. How many mi
baherus [9]
Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs.. ok

so how far Mrs. drove will be X
and Mr. will be Y
but we know that Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs therefor 
Y= 3X

and the Sum = 3,200

3,200=X+Y
3,200= X+(3X)
3,200=4X
div both by 4
800=X
now we know how far Mrs drove now to find Mr.
again "Mr. drove 3 times more then Mrs"
800 * 3 = 2,400
