Answer:

1. 8.4 2. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4x + 8y = 40

when y = 0.8

4x + 8 × 0.8 = 40

4x = 40 - 8 × 0.8

4x = 40 - 6.4 = 33.6

....x = 33.6 / 4 = 8.4

2. 3a + b = 54

when b = 9

3a + 9 = 54

3a = 54 - 9

3a = 45

.....a = 45 / 3 = 15

Answer:

a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3a + b = 54 ← substitute b = 9

3a + 9 = 54 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3a = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = 15

tester [12383]

Answer:

40%

Detailed solution:

John Smith and Susan Jones have contributed $240,000 and $160,000 respectively toward Expo Company. We are tasked with determining the proportion of the business owned by Susan.

First, calculate the total investment by summing both contributions.

\text{Total money invested in business}=\$240,000+\$160,000

\text{Total money invested in business}=\$400,000

Next, find what percentage $160,000 is of the total $400,000.

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=\frac{160,000}{400,000}\times 100

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=0.4\times 100

\text{Percentage of business Susan own}=40

Thus, Susan's share in the company is 40%.
