1. 2. 80 x 1. 2 = 3. 36
2. 28-24. 50 = 3. 50. 3. 50/28=. 125, or 12. 5% loss
3. Bruce – x * 1. 105 = y
Maya – (x+4000)*1. 075 = y+75
equation (x+4000)*1. 075=x*1. 105+75
1. 075x + 4300 = 1. 105x + 75
this is easier to solve if you have a spreadsheet or a calculator that does symbolic algebra, but x = $140,830
4. (3/6)(. 12)x + (2/6)(. 11)x + (1/6)(. 09)x = 1340
0. 6x + . 037x + 0. 15x = 1340
. 112x= 1340
x= 1340/. 112
x= 11964. 29
