5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25
Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation
If you would like to know what was the percent decrease in price, you can calculate this using the following steps:
x% of $299.99 is $180.55
x% * 299.99 = 180.55
x/100 * 299.99 = 180.55
x = 180.55 * 100 / 299.99
x = 60.19%
100% - 60.19% = 39.81%
The correct result would be 39.81%.
Answer:
Any number in form of x.y = x (1) + 1/10 (y)
where x = 5 & y > 3 , or x > 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Expanded form of 5.3 = 5 (1) + 3 (1/10)
Some decimals written in expanded form that are greater than 5.3 :
5 (1) + 4 (1/10) = 5.4
6 (1) + 2 (1/10) = 6.2
