Answer = 14/8
Step by step explanation
2 x 7/8
= (2x7)/8
= 14/8
Let c represents the cost of a candy apple and b represents the cost of a bag of peanuts.
Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 3c + 4b. Darius can buy 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts in $11.33,so we can write the equation as:
3c + 4b = 11.33 (1)
Darius can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 9c + 5b. Darius can buy 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts in $23.56,so we can write the equation as:
9c + 5b = 23.56 (2)
<span>Darius decides to purchase 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts. The total cost in this case will be 2c + 3b. To find this first we need to find the cost of each candy apple and bag of peanuts by solving the above two equations.
Multiplying equation 1 by three and subtracting equation 2 from it, we get:
3(3c + 4b) - (9c + 5b) = 3(11.33) - 23.56
9c + 12b - 9c - 5b = 10.43
7b = 10.43
b = $1.49
Using the value of b in equation 1, we get:
3c + 4(1.49) = 11.33
3c = 5.37
c = $ 1.79
Thus, cost of one candy apple is $1.79 and cost of one bag of peanuts is $1.49.
So, 2c + 3b = 2(1.79) + 3(1.49) = $ 8.05
Therefore, Darius can buy 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts in $8.05</span>
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
You should be tracking your work so that you can find a pattern within the graph to correctly write the next answer.
Y=kx
12=-4k
k = -3
so when y = 15
y = kx
15 = -3x
x = -5
----------------
$50 / 0.04 = $1250 (4% interest)
so
1250 * 0.06 = $75
answer
interest $75 at 6%
-----------------------------
y = kx
1/4 = 4k
k = 1/16
when x = 5
y = kx
y = 1/16(5)
y = 5/16
-----------
y = kx
-5 = 4k
k = -5/4
direct equation
y = -5/4x
