c) (ii) after 19 years, ada = (x+ 19) and bill = ( y + 19).
so if bill will be 2 times as ada then ; y + 19 = 2(x + 19)....
or, y = 2x + 19

(b) Matthew made a bookcase.
The cost of making the bookcase was $647.50.
After the bookcase is sold and the shopkeeper has received 15% of the selling price,
Matthew makes a profit of $160.
Calculate the selling price of the bookcase.

After the bookcase is sold and the shopkeeper has received 15% of the selling price,
Matthew makes a profit of $160.
Calculate the selling price of the bookcase.

Matthews receives = 647.5 + 160 = $807.5
Now, since the shop keeper receives 15% of the selling price, Matthew receives 85% of the selling price.
So,
807.5 = 85/100 * x (where x = selling price)
Calculating x,
x = $950.

Bro add maths comp

Before Chemistry, I was thinking to get it in Chemistry. I came close.
Before Physics, I was thinking to get it in Physics. Not even close.
Before Maths, I was thinking to get it in Maths, I have come perilously close.
Now, I'm just hoping on Add.maths, not computer.
