Felicia started with 30 pieces of candy and gave away x pieces. Nacho started with 70 pieces of candy and gave away five times as many as Felicia did. Nacho and Felicia now have the same number of pieces of candy. How many pieces of candy did Felicia gave away?

10

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the first sentence:

30- x =y

Rearranging the equation:

x+y =30(1)

According to the second sentence:

70- 5x =y

Rearranging the equation:

5x +y=70(2)

Using the elimination method:

Subtract (2) from (1) as follows:

4x =40

x = 40/4

x =10

answer: there are 453.592 grams in a pound.

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720
