Y-x =17
y = -x + 17
substitute this into the second equation
y = 4x + 2
-x + 17 = 4x + 2
0= 5x -15
15/5 = 5x/5
3 = x
If 24 of the 60 were saved then the percent saved is
(24/60) x 100
Let's imagine for a second that all 60 was saved, then 100% of the money would be saved. Which makes sense, because
(60/60) x 100 = 100%
So the amount saved dived by the amount earned all times 100 is the percent saved.
66 is the answer
76+ 38= 114
114+ 66 = 180
1-1/2-1/4=1/4 If 75 is 1/4, then just divide to get the whole thing. 75/1/4=200
She had two hundred cards to start with. Hope this helps!!!
