Answer:

First mechanic worked 20 hours and second mechanic worked 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours the first mechanic worked = a

Let the number of hours the second mechanic worked = b

Therefore, we can write 2 equations and then solve them simultaneously:

a+b=25

65a+90b=1750

Rearranging the first equation: a=25-b

and substituting into the second equation to find b:

65(25-b)+90b=1750

1625-65b+90b=1750\\
25b=125\\
b=5

Now sub b=5 into the first equation to find a

a+5=25\\
a=20

Therefore, first mechanic (a) worked 20 hours and second mechanic (b) worked 5 hours

At Best Buy they have a stereo system that sells for $2500 and is on sale for 9% and sales tax is 5%. What is the final cost?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Final cost = $2388.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of stereo system = $2500

Sale = 9%

Cost of sale = 9% of 2500

Cost of sale = \frac{9}{100}*2500 = 0.09*2500

Cost of sale = $225

Price after sale = 2500 - 225 = $2275

Sales tax = 5% of 2275

Sales tax = 0.05 * 2275 = $ 113.75

Final cost = 2275 + 113.75 = $2388.75
