Answer:

$2.81

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 is 100% of the price

125% + 100% = 225%

x = price by august

x = 225% (1.25)

225% = 2.25

2.25(1.25) = 2.8125 ≈ $2.81

Another way to see it:

\frac{1.25}{x} = \frac{100}{225}

225(1.25) / 100 = 2.8125

Answer:

$11.10 per gallon.

There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the cost of a gallon of oil currently is 1.85×4=$7.40

If the gallon price of oil goes up 50% then our answer is: 7.40×==11.1

The price of oil in March will be $11.10 per gallon

4 Muffins on each plate. There are 0 plates of lemon muffins.
GaryK [48]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: number of muffin plates
 We now write the expression that models the problem.
 We know there are 4 muffins in each dish, therefore, we have:
 4x

 Substituting for x = 0 we have:
 4 (0) = 0

 Answer:
 
There are 0 lemon muffins

Mashcka [7]

Answer: The system of equations are

x + y = 10

3.75x + 2.5y = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Camila bought.

Let y represent the number of brownies that Camila bought.

She bought a total of 10 cupcakes and brownies altogether. This would be expressed as

x + y = 10

Camila and her children went into a bakery and she bought $35 worth of cupcakes and brownies. Each cupcake costs $3.75 and each brownie costs $2.50. This would be expressed as

3.75x + 2.5y = 35

A student wanted to find the sum of all the even numbers from 1 to 100. He said:
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The statements are incorrect as: The sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double\twice of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that sum of an Arithmetic Progression(A.P.) is given by:

where 'n' denotes the "number" of digits whose sum is to be determined, 'a' denotes the first digit of the series and '' denote last digit of the series.

Now the sum of even numbers i.e. 2+4+6+8+....+100 is given by the use of sum of the arithmetic progression since the series is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

image with explanation

Hence, sum of even numbers from 1 to 100 is 2550.

Also the series of odd numbers is an A.P. with a common difference of 2.

sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100 is given by: 1+3+5+....+99

.

Hence, the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 is 2500.

Clearly the sum of even numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2550) is not double of the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 100(i.e. 2500).

Hence the statement is incorrect.
