Well first off we need to know how to round or what rounding is. Rounding is the approximation of numbers usually decimals to a approximate cut off number for numbers that are too long or hard to work with/remember. To round a number you simply need to look at the number behind that number whether its a whole number (integer) or a decimal, either one will work. Now continuing on (on) how to round the number, look at the number after it and if it is 5 or above the number rounds up +1 and all numbers behind that turn to 0. For example 3.25500 round to the nearest hundredth, 3.26(000). Now if the number is 4 or smaller then you don't do anything at all (no rounding) and all the numbers after the being rounded number turn to 0's like so, 3.254(0000) rounded to the nearest hundredth, 3.25(00000). So now that we know how to round and what rounding is we need to look at are hundredth place on are number here and see what the next number is after that, in this case it is 0 because there is no stated number there the default next number is 0 like so,
2.750 and because 0 is under 5 we don't do any rounding at all here and just leave it as it is. So 2.75 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 2.75

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.
<u>Weight : </u>
<em>⇒ x for 6 people</em>
<em>⇒ y for the 7th person</em>
<u>The correct answer is B).</u>
