a hybrid car costs 35% more then a gasoline only car and together they cost 47,000. how much does the hybrid car cost
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'g' and 'h' stand for the costs of the gasoline and hybrid cars respectively. From the question, we can write:
h=1.35g ('a hybrid car costs 35% more then a gasoline')
h+g=47000 ('together they cost 47,000')
Using Algebrator to solve for 'g' and 'h', we get:
g=$20,000
h=$27,000
