Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9000x+7000x+4000x=4800
20000x=4800
200x=48
100x=24
50x=12
25x=6
x=6/25
9/20+7/20+4/20=1
9/20*4800=x
9/2*480=x
9*240=x
2160=x
2160-1600=$560 less
7/20*4800=y
7*240=y
1680
1680-1600=80 less
4/20*4800=z
4*240=z
960=z
1600-960=640 more
