Alright, so we know that there are 7 days a week with 24 hours per day.
24x7= 168 hours a week.
Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.
Let's take the 40% that is Sleep and use it in the percentage formula with the 168 hours.
40%x168= roughly 67 hours.
Hope this helped!
In order to find the price per bar, we divide the price by the amount of bars. For the first one:
15.37/10 = $1.54 per bar
The second package:
15.35/12 = $1.28 per bar.
The 10-pack costs $1.54 per bar and the 12-pack costs $1.28 per bar. The 12-pack has the better price per bar.
Now, let's look at the price per ounce. We do this in a similar way. We find the total amount of ounces in the package, and divide the price by the number of ounces.
In the first package, we multiply 10*2.1=21. We have 21 ounces in the first package. Now we divide 15.37/21. In the first package, we have 0.73 dollars per ounce.
Now, let's look at the second package. We start by multiplying 1.4*12=16.8. There are 16.8 ounces in the package. Now, we divide 15.35/16.8=0.91. So, in the second package, we have 0.91 dollars per ounce.
The cost per ounce of the 10-pack is $0.73 and the cost per ounce of the 12-pack is $0.91. The first package has the better price per ounce.
The better explanation is the second one, because I prefer the lower price per ounce, I think that the 1st pack is the better buy.
1. x+5y=8
2x- 5y=1 What you do is find the number/variable that are the same( here is is the +5y and -5y. You want them to be opposites(-,+) so that they cancel each other out. if they are not opposites, then multiply one equation by a negative sign to change it. Cross out the 5y's. Now you can combine like terms-x+2x=3x, and 8+1=9, so now your equation will look like this:
3x=9
x=9/3
x=3
now take x=3 and plug it into the first equation to solve for y. x+5y=8, so 3+5y=8
5y=8-3
5y=5
y=5/5
y=1
(3,1) are your answers.
now do the same with the other problems.
