Answer:

<u>150</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will shorten Eric, and Bob's names as E, and B.

So the equations are this

B-E = B+E - 240, E as Eric, and B as Bob, and this E+B=9(E-B)

Move the variables and you get

-2E =- 240

Just divide them both by -2

and E=120

So when we know the value of E we can just plug it into the 1st question

120+B=9B+1080

Moves the Variables and numbers to the other side

8B=1200

1200/8= 150

B=150

There is Bob's weight

I bought a car of 650,000 and<br>sold it for 520,000. Find the<br>lost Percent ?<br>​
Tom [10]

Answer:

20% decrease in value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Do 650,000 divided by 100 to find what 1% of the original price is:

650,000 divided by 100 = 6,500

To find what percentage of the original price 520,000 is, we divide it by 1% of the original cost (6,500):

520,000 divided by 6,500 = 80 (percent)

So if 520,000 is 80% of 650,000 the car has decreased in value by 20%.
