178.50 = 11.90y + 10.50x ⇒ equation in standard form.
$216 x 0.08 = $17.28.
Therefore $17.28 was collected for sales tax.
Consider the function f ( x ) = 2479 ⋅ 0.9948x First compare this with f ( x ) po ( 1 + r ) ^ 2 We get po = 2479 And 1 + r = 0.9948 = 1 – 0.0052 r = -0.0052 < 0 Therefore, f is an exponential decay function with a decay rate of 0.0052 x 100 = 0.52%
Answer: y=12 x=28
Explanation:
x=Amount of Small Lanterns y=Amount of Large Lanterns
25x+40y=1180
x+y=40
x=40-y
25(40-y)+40y=1180
1000-25y+40y=1180
1000+15y=1180
15y=180
y=12
x+12=40
x=28
