Chris was standing at the cash register when he realized he was $1.20 short. He was buying a mouse and a mousepad. He realized the mouse cost 95% of his money, and the mousepad cost 15% of his money. How much does the mouse cost, and how much does the mousepad cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

I believe the answer is
the mouse costs about/around $1.14
and the mouse pad costs $0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

equation for mouse pad:


the output value is $1.20
and x=15%

equation template: [tex]\frac{1.20}{x}= \frac{100}{15}[/tex]
using the reciprocal of both sides gives: [tex]\frac{x}{1.20} = \frac{15}{100}[/tex]

Therefore, 15% of $1.20 is $0.18

Equation for Mouse:

the output value is 1.20

and x=95%

Equation template: [tex]\frac{1.20}{x} =\frac{100}{95}[/tex]
Using the reciprocal of both sides gives: [tex]\frac{x}{1.20} =\frac{95}{100}[/tex]

Therefore, 95% of $1.20 is $1.14

i hope this helps you :>
