For judy's birthday, her friend gave her a gift card. she went to the clothing store and bought a total of $178.25 worth of clothing. judy used all of the money on the gift card to pay for part of the total. she paid the remaining $71.30 with cash. which percentage best describes the part of the total judy paid with the gift card? show work!
(a) 30%
(b) 40%
(c) 50%
(d) 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total worth of clothing is $178.25 and the amount paid with cash is $71.30.

Let us find the part of amount  paid with the gift card:

Amount of gift card(G) = Total worth(T) - Amount paid in cash(C).

.

So, the amount paid with the gift card is $106.95.

Now, according to question:

%.

Therefore, the percentage is 60% of the total amount paid with the gift card.

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
