Answer:
a) x = 1 , y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 7x + 3y = 16
y = 4x - 1
or
3y + 7x = 16 ... (i)
y - 4x = -1 ... (ii)
Solving the simultaneous equation by substitution;
Equation (ii) tells us that y = 4x - 1
Substituting that in (i) gives;
3(4x - 1) + 7x = 16
12x - 3 + 7x = 16
19x = 16 + 3 = 19
x = = 1
y = 4(1) - 1 = 3
We need to find out how many gallons will fill the whole tank
we first write 3/4 into its decimal fraction. 3/4 = 0.75.
Now we form an equation
0.75 = 12
1 = x (where x is he number of gallons needed to fill whole tank)
Simplify the equation:
0.75 × x = 12 × 1
0.75x = 12
x = 12 / 0.75
x = 16
It will take 16 gallons to fill whole tank to capacity.
Half gallon bottles that can be filled from the tank are:16 x 2 = 32
So 32 half gallon bottles can be filled from the full tank.
Amount of sales tax paid on an item that cost $42.00 is $2.94.
Rate of sales tax paid = 2.94÷42 =0.07 = 7%.
Rate of sales tax paid by Mick is 7%. The question is asking is to find the sales tax he will pay on an item that costs $58 before tax.
Sales Tax paid by Mick on an item costing $58.00 is 7% of $58.00 =0.07 of 58=4.06.
Sales tax paid for an item that costs $58.00 before tax is $4.06.
