40p + 55p = 95p

435p ÷ 95p = 4.57...

So, the sum of the two pairs can go into £4.35 four times.

That meant if I increase the buns & cakes four times, it will help me get closer to the sum of £4.35 & work out which was extra

(40 x 4 = 160) & (55 x 4 = 220)

160 + 220= 380p or £3.80

Adding them up I get 380 pence & that's 55p short to getting to the sum of 435p or £4.35

(435-380=55p)

Thus, the extra is the cake, meaning you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

Hope this helps!

By solving a linear equation, we conclude that you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

<h3>How many of each did I buy?</h3>

We will define the two variables:

  • x = number of buns bought.
  • y = number of cakes bought.

We know that you spent exactly £4.35, then we only need to solve the linear equation:

x*0.40 + y*0.55 = 4.35

We need to solve that equation for x and y, such that the values of x and y can only be positive whole numbers.

We can rewrite the equation as:

y*0.55 = 4.35 - x*0.40

y = (4.35 - x*0.40)/0.55

Now we only need to evaluate it in different values of x, and see for which value of x, the outcome y is also a whole number.

We will see that for x = 4, we have:

y = (4.35 - 4*0.40)/0.55 = 5

So you bought 4 buns and 5 cakes.

Which choices are equivalent to the fraction below check all the apply ""24" over 30
user100 [1]

Answer:

c) The reduced form of the given fraction   \frac{24}{30} =  \frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is  "24 over 30".

The given expression is  is equivalent to \frac{24}{30}

Now by Prime Factorization:

24  =  2 x 2 x 2 x 3

30  = 2 x 3 x 5

⇒ The common factors in 24 and 30 is  2 x 3  = 6

So, \frac{24}{30}  = \frac{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}{2 \times 3 \times 5}   = \frac{6 \times 4}{6 \times 5}   = \frac{4}{5}

Hence the reduced form of the given fraction   \frac{24}{30} =  \frac{4}{5}
