Drinks, x, and popcorn, y.
125.50 = 12y+7x
87.50=6y+8x

To solve for the cost of drinks, x, isolate the variable
125.50 = 12y + 7x
subtract 12y from both sides
125.50 - 12y = 7x
divide both sides by 7
125.50/7 -12/7y = x

plug that into the other equation
<span>87.50=6y+8x
87.50 = 6y + 8(125.50/7 - 12/7y)
Distribute </span><span>8(125.50/7 - 12/7y)
Then combine like terms
then subtract and divide to isolate y</span>
Solve for y
y = 7.25

Plug that into the first equation to solve for x
<span>125.50 = 12y+7x
125.50 = 12(7.25) + 7x
125.50 = 87 + 7x
subtract 87 from both sides
38.5 = 7x
divide both sides by 7
5.5 = x

There, you have the cost of the drinks, $5.5, and the cost of the popcorn, $7.25.

To check: you would plug in what you got for x and y into the original equations and see if they equal right... I did it on paper and it was right!!

Hope this helps</span>

Which fraction is equivalent to 50%? (in simplest fraction form) A) 1 2 B) 1 4 C) 2 5 D) 4 5
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

1/2 is equivalent to 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to convert a fraction to a percentage you divide the numerator (Top number of a fraction) by the denominator (Bottom number of a fraction), multiply by 100, and add a percentage sign.

So lets try that with our first answer option A) 1/2:

1 divided by 2 = 0.5

0.5 x 100 = 50

50%

So we know that 1/2 is equivalent to 50%

Steve paid 10% tax on a purchase of $40. Select the dollar amount of the tax and the total dollar amount Steve paid.
marta [7]
Amount of purchase that Steve made = $40
Percentage of tax that Steve needs to pay = 10%
Then
Amount of tax that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (10/100) * 40
                                                                                          = 1 * 4 dollars
                                                                                          = 4 dollars
Then
The total amount including tax
that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (40 + 4) dollars
                                                                   = 44 dollars
So the dollar amount of tax that Steve had to pay is $4 and the total amount that Steve had to pay was $44.

What are the coefficients for the binomial expansion of (p+q)^6
seropon [69]

Answer:

1 6 15 20 15 6 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, we need to look at Pascal's Triangle, which is a tricky little way to find the coefficients for any binomial expression like this! Check the attached photo.

Because this is to the sixth, we need the 6th row, which is <u>1 6 15 20 15 6 1.</u> From this, we know that those numbers are the coefficients!
