Answer:

Let g represent the cost of gas and e represent the cost of electricity.

150g + 520e = 84.20  ⇒  7(150g + 520e = 84.20)   ⇒  1050g + 3640e = 576.80

210g + 405e = 82.35  ⇒ -5(210g + 405e = 82.35)  ⇒  -1050g - 2025e = -411.75

                                                                                                       1615e = 165.05

                                                                                                               e = 0.10

150g + 520(0.10) = 84.20

150g + 52 = 84.20

140g = 32.20

    g = 0.23

Answer: gas = $0.23, electricity = $0.10

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: $40.00

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original price, you would need to utilize the equation Original Price = Sales Price ÷ (1 - Discount). In this equation, Discount refers to the percentage of discount.

Original Price = $34.00 ÷ (1 - 0.15)

Original Price = $34.00 ÷ (0.85)                      

Original Price = $40.00
