Below is the solution:

There are two equations to be solved here.  The first one we assign variables to the home runs Peter hits, P, and Alice hits, A. P=2*(A-6) The second equation is the sum of both players home runs.P + A = 18Solving for P yieldsP=18-A We substitute the solution for P into the first equation and solve for A.(18-A) = 2*(A-6)18 - A = 2A - 123A = 30A = 10 Now that A is known, we can plug it into either equations for P to find how many home runs Peter hitsP=18 - (10) = 8orP=2((10)-4) = 8

Susan spent a total of 45$ at the grocery store I’d this amount she spent $18 on fruit what percentage of the total did she spen
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

40% of the total was spent on fruit

Step-by-step explanation:

100%=45    x=18

100/x = 45/18    Now take the inverse of both sides

x/100 = 18/45

This leads to 1800 = 45x

1800 divided by 45 is equal to 40

The total percentage spent on fruit was 40%

Find the number of sides of a regular polygon with each interior angle equal to 157.5°. The regular polygon has sides.
yawa3891 [41]
The interior angle plus the exterior angle totals to 180 so you would take 180 and subtract 157.5 and get 22.5
next you would take 360 for the total of degrees that he external angles totals up to.
so 360 divided by 22.5 equals the number of sides you shape has and that would be 16 sides.
