Let's call the number of standard boxes sold x and the number of deluxe boxes sold y.
The kg of peaches sold will be 1 for each standard box and 2 for each deluxe, so we know:
x + 2y = 12
The kg of apples sold will be 2 for each standard box and 1.5 for each deluxe, so:
2x + 1.5y = 14. Now we solve the two equations as a system:
From the 1st one:
x = 12 - 2y
We substitute in the second one:
2(12 - 2y) +1.5y = 14;
24 - 4y +1.5y = 14;
-2.5y = -10;
y = 10/2.5 = 4;
Now we substitute in the first equation:
x = 12 - 2y = 12 - 2*4 = 12 - 8 = 4.
So the shop sold 4 standard boxes (x) and 4 deluxe boxes (y).
Answer:
Option b is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, the equation would be: What is 35% of $117
Proportion:
We multiply:
117 x 35 = 4095
Now we divide:
4095 / 100 = 40.95
Then we add:
40.95 + 117 = $157.95
and that's your answer!
I hope this helps! :)
You're given a table of x values and an equation. To solve, plug in the values for x.
First box: y=2(-3)-1=-7
Second box: y=2(-2)-1=-5.
See if you can solve the third one.
Answer: The membership will last for 12 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of months that the membership would last.
Cleo wants to join a gym. There is an initiation fee of $24.99, and each month of membership costs $12.50. This means that the total cost of using the gym for x months would be expressed as
12.5x + 24.99
If Cleo pays $174.99, it means that
12.5x + 24.99 = 174.99
12.5x = 174.99 - 24.99
12.5x = 150
x = 150/12.5
x = 12
