Answer:

11 inch big zip for $7.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit price of the 8 inch little zip for $6.25

$6.25/8 = $0.78 per inch of zipper

Find the unit price of the 11 inch big zip for $7.75

$7.75/11 = $0.70 per inch of zipper

The better deal is the 11 inch big zip because it has the lower cost per inch.

Victoria spent one-fourth of her birthday money on clothes. She received another $25 a week later. If she has a total of $70 now

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

she had $60 before she went for shopping

Step-by-step explanation:

PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST

Let x represent the amount of money that Victoria had before she went for shopping.

Victoria spent one-fourth or her birthday money on clothes. It means that the amount she spent on shopping is 1/4 × x = x/4. Amount that she was having left would be x - x/4 = 3x/4

She received another 25$ a week later. The amount that she is having at this point will be 3x/4 + 25

If she has a total of 70$ now, it means that

3x/4 + 25 = 70

Multiplying through by 4

3x + 100 = 280

3x ,= 280 - 100 = 180

x = 180/3 = 60

Brianna is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $1.25 and each ride costs $3.75. Brianna spent $18.75 a

maxonik [38]

Answer:

6 games and 3 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games Brianna played be x,

and the number of rides she went on be y.

Total cost for games= 1.25x

Total cost for rides= 3.75y

Since number of games is twice the number of rides,

x= 2y -----(1)

Total costs= cost of games +cost of rides

$18.75= 1.25x +3.75y$

Multiply the whole equation by 4 to remove the decimals:

$75= 5x +15y$

Simplify by dividing the whole equation by 5:

$15 = x + 3y$

Label the equation:

x +3y= 15 -----(2)

Although we can solve these 2 equations by substitution, since the question requires us to graphically solve, we have to graph 2 linear lines.

I will choose 3 points to plot on the graph for each equation:

x= 2y -----(1)

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \cline{1-4}x & 2(1) = 2&2(2) = 4&2(3) = 6\\ \cline{1-4}y & 1 &2&3\\ \cline{1-4}\end{tabular}$

x +3y= 15 -----(2)

x= -3y +15

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \cline{1-4}x & -3(1)+15= 12& -3(2)+15= 9& -3(3)+15= 6\\ \cline{1-4}y & 1 &2&3\\ \cline{1-4}\end{tabular}$

Let's plot these points on a graph paper. Then, join them with a straight line for each straight line graph. Please see the attached picture for the graph.

From (1): y= ½x

From (2): 3y= 15 -x

y= 5 -⅓x

From the graph, the solution of the equation is (6,3). The solution is the point on the graph in which the 2 lines intersect.

x- coordinate: 6

y- coordinate: 3

Thus, Brianna played 6 games and went on 3 rides.
