$4000
Answer:
here's the steps
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you need to get x by itself.In order to do that you need to do the opposite to the other side. ex: x5= 1/10; what you would do is divide 1/10 by 5 to get x = 0.5 , 5/10
Answer: A cherry pie costs 9 and an apple pie cost 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let an apple pie be represented by a
Let an cherry pie be represented by c
Jennifer sold 12 cherry pies and 3 apple pies for a total of 144. This can be written as:
12c + 3a= 144
Jacob sold 2 cherry pies and 9 apple pies for a total for 126. This can be written as:
2c + 9a = 126
12c + 3a= 144 ............. i
2c + 9a = 126 ........... ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 12
24c + 6a = 288 ........ iii
24c + 108a = 1512 ...... iv
Subtract iv from iii
-102a = -1224
a = 1224/102
a = 12
An apple pie costs 12
From equation i
12c + 3a= 144
12c + (3×12) = 144
12c + 36 = 144
12c = 144 - 36
12c = 108
c = 108/12
c = 9
A cherry pie costs 9
5% tax of 135.69
Multiply 135.69 * .05 = 6.7845
5% tax of 135.69 is 6.78
135.69+6.78=142.47
14*3=42
142.47 + 42 = 184.47
Gary will pay $184.47 in all.
Hope this helps you! (:
