Joshua sells a pack of pens for $3.15, which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. Which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? How many solutions will this equation have?

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

Joshua sells a pack of pens for 3.15 which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? how many solutions will this equation have? x+0.05x=3.15, which has infinitely many solutions x+0.5x=3.15, which has one solution x+0.05×=3.15 which has one solution 0.05×=3.15, which has no solution

Let

x= the amount Joshua pays for a pack of pen

5% of x more than he paid for them

=0.05x more

Buying price=0.05x + x

Selling price=3.15

Equate buying and selling price

0.05x + x = 3.15

1.05x=3.15

Divide both sides by 1.05

1.05x / 1.05 = 3.15/1.05

x=3

The equation is 0.05x+x=3.15

The answer is:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

£56

step-by-step explanation:

u divide 24 by 3 and u get 8 so if u do 8 time 7 or 8+8+8+8+8+8+8 u get 56 and 56 divided by 7 is 8.
