Christmas candy and items are 80% off at Walgreens. Lacy got 3 rolls of wrapping paper originally priced at $4.99 each and a box of candy canes originally priced at $2.99. How much did she have to pay before tax? A. 3.59
B. 9
C. 67
D. 69
F. 10.25

A. $3.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so wrapping paper 4.99 she got three. So we would take 4.99 and subtract 80%. We would get 0.998. We multiply this by three because that's how many she got. After multiplying it's 2.994, rounded just 2.99. She payed 2.99 for wrapping paper. Now with the candy canes, we take 2.99 and subtract 80%. 0.59. Added we get 3.58, and we can go ahead and round that up to $3.59. Before tax she payed $3.59.  

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
