can u please help me solve these i am helping troubles understanding Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.x+.90x=750
1.9x=750
x=750/1.9=394.73
.9x=355.26
You make $355.26. Your co-worker makes $394.73
-----------------
2.x+y=40000
.05x+.06y=2270
Multiply the second equation by 100:
5x+6y=227000
6x+6y=240000
x=13000
y=27000
$13000 was invested at 5%. $27000 was invested at 6%.
-----------------------
P=2W+2L
380=2W+2(3W+30)
380=2W+6W+60
320=8W
40=W
LxW=150'x40'.
