Revenue A woman has a building with 26 one-bed- room apartments, 40 two-bedroom apartments, and 60 three-bedroom apartments available to rent to students. She has set the rent at $500 per month for the one-bedroom units, $800 per month for the two-bed- room units, and $1150 per month for the three-bed- room units.

- Last year, at Haven's Pond Car Dealership, for a particular model of BMW, Jeep, and Toyota, one could purchase all three cars for a total of $140,000. This year, due to inflation, the same cars would cost $151,830. The cost of the BMW increased by 8%, the Jeep by 5%, and the Toyota by 12%. If the price of last year's Jeep was $7,000 less than the price of last year's BMW, what was the price of each of the three cars last year?arrow_forwardIn your own words explain the steps to solve a system of linear equations with three variables by elimination.arrow_forward
