Answer:2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3/9=1/3
1/3+1/3=2/3
We can use elimination for these set of systems.
First, we need to set up our variables.
Belts=b
Hats=h
Now, the situation is 6 belts and 8 hats for $140. The situation after is 9 belts and 6 hats for $132.
Let’s set up our system of equations.
6b+8h=140
9b+6h=132
We need to eliminate a variable. Since b has coefficients of 6 and 9, we can easily eliminate b by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom by -2.
18b+24h=420
-18b-12h=-264
Now let’s add.
12h=156
Let’s divide to get h by itself.
156/12=13=h
So a hat costs $13. We need to put in 13 for one of the equations so we can find the cost of a belt.
9b+6(13)=132
9b+78=132
We need b by itself.
9b=54
54/9=6
Belts are $6
We can also use the first equation to check our answers.
6(6)+8(13)
36+104
140.
So, the price of a belt is $6 while the price of a hat is $13.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) 700*0.42 = 294. Out of the 700 people at the concert, 294 are tennagers.
2.) 1.07*$450 = $481.50, including sales tax (final price)
3.) 120/(100%-85%) = 120/0.15 = 800. Original amount of water is 800 ml (Check by 800mL*0.15, which equals 120 mL)
4.) 100-35-45 = 20%
250*20% = 50; Out of the 250 sandwiches, Josh made 50 ham sandwiches.
