Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 14 = 6x + 34 (vertically opposite angles are equal)
Rearrange
2x = 20
x = 10
Cost of milk per carton = $ 70 cents = 70/100 = $0.7
Cost of bread per loaf = $60 cents = 60/100 = $0.6
Cost of cereals per box = $50 cents = 50/100 = $0.5
Cost of meat per pound = $1.50
If x is the number of cartons of milk bought, then
Number of loafs = x/2
Number pf boxes of cereals = x/2 +1
Number of pounds of meat = x/2 +1
Therefore,
0.7*x + 0.6*x/2 + 0.5 (x/2+1) + 1.5 (x/2+1) = 10
0.7x + 0.3x + 0.25x + 0.5 + 0.75x + 1.5 = 10
2x + 2 =10
2x = 8
x = 4
Substituting;
Milk cartons = 4
Number of bread = 4/2 = 2
Boxes of cereals = 2+1 = 3
Pounds of meat = 3
ANSWER: $65.63
$50 divided by 4 hours = $12.50 per hour
1/4 can also be written as the fraction 0.25
So 5 1/4 hours is the same as 5.25 hours
$12.50 per hour x 5.25 hours = $65.625 rounded to the nearest cent = $65.63
The answer would be 0.3635
Answer:
p(a) = -3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
p ( a +b) = p(a)+p(b)
1/10= p(a) +1/4
1/10 - 1/4 = p(a)
p(a) = -3/20
