Let, the cost of a belt = x
cost of a wallet = y
Then, system of equations would be:
x + y = 42
7x + 4y = 213
Multiply 1st equation by 4,
4x + 4y = 168
Substitute it from 2nd equation,
3x = 45
x = 15
Now, substitute it in 1st equation,
15 + y = 42
y = 42 - 15 = 27
In short, Belt costs $15 and wallet costs $27
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Analyzing the growth rate of 1.07:
If the growth rate is a number greater than 1, we have exponential growth; if the growth rate is a number greater than 0 but less than 1, we have exponential decay.
Our growth rate is actually growth. But the rate of growth is not 107%. The rate of growth means that we already had 100% of the population and that it is growing by 7% each year. 100% + 7% = 107%; as a decimal, 1.07
So the rate of growth is 7%
I simply divided by 100 and moved the decimal two places to the left.
