For the answer to the two questions above,
3x + 2y = 36.50 (I)
2x + 5y = 50 (II)
Eliminating x from the two equations by subtraction:
first we multiply equation I by 2 and equation II by 3
6x + 4y = 73
6x + 15y = 150
Subtracting the two,
-11y = -77
y = 7
He earns $7 at the coffee cart
Substituting y into equation I,
3x + 14 = 36.5
x = $7.50
So we can conclude that, he earns a greater wage of $7.50 at the library,
Answer: 75+30 = 15 x 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is 75+30 (=105) which defines the sum of 75 and 30.
Prime factorization of 75 and 30 are as below:
75 = 5 x 5 x 3
30 = 5 x 3 x 2
GCD (75,30) = 5x 3 = 15 [Note: GCD = Greatest common divisor]
Consider 75+30 = (15 x 5) + (15 x 2) [75 = 15 x 5 and 30= 15 x 2]
= 15 (5+2) [taking 15 as common ]
= 15 x (7)
(=105)
So, 75+30 which is sum of the numbers and it is expressed as 15 x 7 which a product of their GCF.
I fear that there is an error copying your assignment.
65% of the students walked. Are all of the other students on buses? Are there both public buses AND private buses?
Assuming that you need to know BOTH kinds of buses, try this:
65% of the students walked, so since 100% - 65% = 35% then this means that 35% of the students were on buses.
Since we know that there are 360 more walkers than bus riders, then one equation we know is: 65% of S = 360 + 35% of S (let S = total # of students)
.65 S = 360 + .35 S
<u> - .35 S </u> = <u> - .35 S</u> Subtract .35 S from both sides
<u> .30 S </u> = <u> 360</u> Divide both sides by .30 (or .3)
.30 .30
S = 1,200 so we know that this is the total number of students, but that is not what was asked.
They want to know how many are on buses and specifically how many are on public buses, if I read this correctly.
Since the walkers = 65% of 1,2000 and we know of means TIMES, then
.65 (1,200) = 780 walkers
1,200 total students minus 780 walkers = 420 bus riders
Now, if there is not a misprint and we really have to figure out the public bus riders as compared to the private bus riders, then remember the ratio from above in the question: 4 bus: 3 public buses
Now if I read this right, that means that 3/4ths of the bus riders were on public buses
so 3/4 of 420 means 3/4 times 420 = 3 times 105 = 315 public bus riders (which coincidentally leaves 105 private bus riders, but since they are private we don't know much about them. Ha-Ha..... I made a lame joke.)
So your answer is 315 public bus riders
We have been given that you went to Walmart and spend $75. Of the total bill, $45.50 included non-taxable items.
Let us find the amount of taxable items by subtracting amount of non-taxable items from total bill.
We have been given that the rate of tax is 7.5% to the taxable items. To find the amount of tax, we will find 7.5% of $29.50.
Final amount of bill would be amount of bill plus amount of tax.
Therefore, final amount of bill would be
