<span>If you would like to
know how many of each did Jan buy, you can calculate this
using the following two equations:
b ... the number of books
m ... the number of magazines
$16 = b * $3 + m * $2.50 ... 16 = 3 * b + 2.50 * m
b + m = 6 ... b = 6 - m
__________________
</span>16 = 3 * b + 2.50 * m
<span>16 = 3 * (6 - m) + 2.50 * m</span>
16 = 3 * 6 - 3 * m + 2.50 * m
16 - 18 = - 3 * m + 2.50 * m
- 2 = - 0.50 * m /0.50
m = 2 / 0.50
m = 4 magazines
<span>b = 6 - m = 6 - 4 = 2 books</span>
Result: Jan bought 4 magazines and 2 books.
7b + 3 - 4b = 3 - 3(b + 4)
3b + 3 = 3 - 3b - 12
3b + 3b = 3 - 12 - 3 = -12
6b = -12
b = -12/6 = -2
b = -2
<h2>
The Pythagorean Theorem</h2>
The Pythagorean Theorem:
- <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the two legs in a right triangle
- <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right triangle; opposite the 90° angle
- <em>*keep in mind that this theorem applies only to right triangles</em>
<h2>Solving the Question</h2>
We're given:
- Legs = 9 units and 12 units
- Hypotenuse = <em>c</em>
<em />
Plug these measurements into the Pythagorean theorem:

<h2>Answer</h2>
Answer:
3:7
Step-by-step explanation:
A basket has:
6 peaches
8 plums
The total amount of fruits is
6+8= 14
The ratio of peaches to total pieces of fruit is:
6:14
3:7
Lets p = salesman's commission as percent
15,200 * p = 912
p = 912/ 15,200
p = 0.06
p = 6%
answer
6%
