Answer:
x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question below:
Joshua sells a pack of pens for 3.15 which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? how many solutions will this equation have? x+0.05x=3.15, which has infinitely many solutions x+0.5x=3.15, which has one solution x+0.05×=3.15 which has one solution 0.05×=3.15, which has no solution
Let
x= the amount Joshua pays for a pack of pen
5% of x more than he paid for them
=0.05x more
Buying price=0.05x + x
Selling price=3.15
Equate buying and selling price
0.05x + x = 3.15
1.05x=3.15
Divide both sides by 1.05
1.05x / 1.05 = 3.15/1.05
x=3
The equation is 0.05x+x=3.15
The answer is:
x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution
Multiply both sides by -3 to get rid of the negative and the fraction.
X - 3 = 21
Move the constants over to isolate the variable
X = 24
Answer:
Total number of boots sold = 48 boots
Step-by-step explanation:
each pair of boot = 2 boots
total pairs of boots sold last month = 24 boots
Total number of boots sold = 48 boots
An equation is written in a correct way if the equation is
balanced. If you want to find out if the equation is balanced, you have to
count how many molecules of each element is present and then just balance the
equation on the left side and the right side.
