Answer:

£1.80 is the price per kilogram of the apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x represents the number of apples per kilogram  and y represents the number of pears per kilogram.

As per the statement:

Julie buys 2kg of apples and 7kg of pears £12.70.

⇒2x+7y = 12.70          ....[1]

It is also given that the pears cost £1.30 per kilogram

⇒y =£1.30

Substitute in [1] we have;

⇒2x+7 \cdot 1.30 = 12.70  

⇒2x+9.10= 12.70  

Subtract 9.10 from both sides we have;

⇒2x= 3.60  

Divide both sides we have;

x =£1.80

Therefore, £1.80 is the price per kilogram of the apples

Two times the least of three consecutive odd integers exceeds three times the greatest by 15
Mariana [72]
Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{a}{4}=\frac{b}{7}\\a=\frac{4b}{7} \\\frac{a-b}{b} =\frac{\frac{4b}{7}-b }{b} \\=\frac{4b-7b}{7b}\\ =\frac{-3b}{7b}\\ =\frac{-3}{7}

What is $6.25 marked up 25%
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

$6.25 marked up 25% is $7.81

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find what 25% is of 6.25.

Step 1: Our output value is 25.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with x.

Step 3: From step 1 above, 25=100%.

Step 4: Similarly, x=6.25%.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

25=100%(1)

x=6.25%(2)

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

<u>25 </u> =   <u>100</u>

 x       6.25

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

<u> x </u> =  <u>6.25</u>

25     100

x= 1.5625

x≈ 1.56

Once you've known what 25% is, you add it to 6.25.

1.56+6.25= 7.81
