Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>
Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>
x + y ≥ 26 + 15
5x + 8y ≥ 250 (see below)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write an equation to represent the total cost to wash cars:
$5x = cost for cars
Then, write another for trucks:
$8y = cost for trucks
If the question is saying that they will wash at least 26 cars and 15 trucks, that means they could wash more. This means that we'll need an inequality:
This inequality represents that the total number of cars and trucks they wash will be at least—which means that it is equal to or greater than—than the amount given:
x + y ≥ 26 + 15
Any equation or inequality with two unknowns is not solvable, meaning we need a system of equations:
If they make at least $250, that means that we need to combine the costs of the cars and trucks to make an inequality:
5x + 8y ≥ 250
Now you have your system of equations:
x + y ≥ 26 + 15
5x + 8y ≥ 250
Answer: (x)(x)(x) = x^3.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 means multiply x by it's self 3 times.
Hope this helps..
