let's say is "x", so "x" is then 100% of the whole bill.
we know 15% is 22.05, what is "x"?
3s + 2p = 85.50....multiply by -1
3s + 4p = 123
--------------------
-3s - 2p = -85.50 (result of multiplying by -1)
3s + 4p = 123
--------------------add
2p = 37.50
p = 37.50/2
p = 18.75 <=== cost of the pants
3s + 4p = 123
3s + 4(18.75) = 123
3s + 75 = 123
3s = 123 - 75
3s = 48
s = 48/3
s = 16 <=== cost of each shirt
I believe your answer would be 6 or 7 I’m not sure tho I’m not good at this
Answer:
7.2 + 0.8w
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same power.
2.2w and (-1.4w) are like terms & 4.8 and 2.4 are like terms.
4.8 + 2.2w - 1.4w + 2.4 = 4.8 + 2.4 + 2.2w - 1.4w
= 7.2 + 0.8w
