The cost of a shirt and a pair of pants is the same and is equal to $2. The correct option is B.

<h3>What is a solution to a system of equations?</h3>

For a solution to be the solution to a system, it must satisfy all the equations of that system, and as all points satisfying an equation are in their graphs, so solution to a system is the intersection of all its equation at a single point(as we need a common point, which is going to be the intersection of course)(this can be one or many, or sometimes none)

Let x represent the cost of a shirt, while y represent the cost of a pair of pants.

Given that Jake bought 2 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $6. Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is,

2x + y = 6 ..... equation 1

Also, Mike bought 1 shirt and 1 pair of pants for $4. Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is,

x + y = 4

Solve the equation for x,

x = 4 - y

Substitute the value of x in equation 1,

2x + y = 6

2(4 - y) + y = 6

8 - 2y + y = 6

-y = 6 - 8

-y = -2

y = 2

Substitute the value of y in equation 1,

2x + y = 6

2x + 2 = 6

2x + 2 = 6

2x = 6 - 2

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Hence, the cost of a shirt and a pair of pants is the same and is equal to $2.

A brick is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of 2 inches. The b
givi [52]

The mass of brick is 2478 gram

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

A brick is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches, a width of 3.5 inches, and a height of 2 inches

Length = 8 inches

Width = 3.5 inches

Height = 2 inches

<em><u>The volume of rectangular prism is given as:</u></em>

volume = length \times width \times height

volume = 8 \times 3.5 \times 2\\\\volume = 56

Thus volume of brick is 56 cubic inches

<em><u>Convert inches to centimeter</u></em>

1 inch = 2.54 centimeter

Therefore,

56 cubic inches = 56 x 2.54 x 2.54 x 2.54 cubic centimeter

56 cubic inches = 917.676 cubic centimeter

Thus, we get,

volume = 917.676 cubic centimeter

The brick has a density of  2.7 grams per cubic centimeter

Density = 2.7 grams

<em><u>The mass of brick is given by formula:</u></em>

mass = density \times volume

<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

mass = 2.7 \times 917.676\\\\mass = 2477.724 \approx 2478

Thus mass of brick is 2478 gram

During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?
Novosadov [1.4K]
So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)
