There's no need for a system of linear equations if you were to solve a real life problem like this. In calculus, they don't give a rat about HOW you get your answer to an easy algebra 1 equation, as long as you used one of the correct methods and got the right answer.
Best of luck my friend. :)
Try C, i am not completely sure but i tried
Answer:
14/100 and 7/50
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically you convert the decimal into a fraction, 14 percent is the same as 14/100 and if you simplify that then you get 7/50
1st gift shop:
120/4 = 30 cents each
180/6 = 30 cents each
390/13 = 30 cents each
2nd gift shop:
204/7 = 29.14 cents each
192/8 = 24 cents each
270 /9 = 30 cents each
360/10 = 36 cents each
so if both gift shops have a fixed price then the 9 post cards would be the answer since it matches 30 each like the 1st gift store
