Answer:
25 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = x + 5....so we sub in x + 5 for y in the other equation
4x + y = 20
4x + x + 5 = 20
5x + 5 = 20
5x = 20 - 5
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3
y = x + 5
y = 3 + 5
y = 8
solution is (3,8)
Answer:
$21.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work.
He bought 8 bags of jolly ranchers
Each bag of jolly ranchers cost $3.25.
Hence, the cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers = 8 × $3.25
= $26
He also bought 25 bags of assorted chocolate and each bag of assorted chocolate cost $2.10.
Hence, the cost of 25 bags of assorted chocolates = 25 × $2.10
= $52.5
Therefore, the amount of money Mr. Gutierrez has left over after these purchases is calculated as:
Total amount - Sum of ( Cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers + 25 bags of assorted chocolates)
= $100 - ( $26 + $52.5)
= $100 - $78.50
= $21.50
The total amount of money he only made is calculated by
the formula:
amount made = 15,200 – 912
amount made = 14,288
Therefore the percentage commission was:
% commission = 912 / 14,288 * 100%
<span>% commission = 6.38 %</span>
Answer:
2kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sum of the other 2 bricks be R. Given that the heaviest brick weighs 2/3 times as much as the other 2 bricks in total, then the weight of the heaviest brick H in terms of the weight of the other 2 will be
H = 2/3 * R
= 2R/3
Given that the 3 bricks weigh 5kg in total then,
2R/3 + R = 5
Multiply through the equation by 3
2R + 3R = 15
5R = 15
Divide both sides by 5
R = 15/5
= 3
The weight of the heaviest brick is 2R/3. Since R = 3, the heaviest block weighs
= 2 * 3/3
= 2kg
