Let the cost of one cup of hot chocolate  be = x

Let the cost of one cup of hot tea be = y

Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and 4 cups of tea.

Equation becomes = 3x+4y=25.50   ...(1)

As given, the cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hot chocolate.

y=\frac{2x}{3}   .... (2)

Putting the value of y from (2) in (1)

3x+4(\frac{2x}{3})=25.50

=3x+\frac{8x}{3}=25.50

=\frac{9x+8x}{3}=25.50

=17x=76.5

x=4.5

y=\frac{2x}{3}

=\frac{2*4.5}{3}

y =3

Hence each cup of hot chocolate is $4.50

Each cup of tea is $3.

How to graph y=-3x+15
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Well first you put the y-intercept on the graph. In this case it would be 15

So graph the point (0,15)

The you do the slope which is 3

so you always do rise over run for slope.

If 3 were a fraction it would be 3/1 so go up 3 points and the go right 1 point from (0,15)

hope this helps .-.

Solve P=Kt/v for k
yan [13]
Multiple both sides of the equation by V, and divide both sides by T.. You'll get PV/T=KT/V*(V/T)=K.

A 72° sector in a circle has an area of 16.4π yd². What is the area of the circle? Use 3.14 for pi.
Dmitry [639]
The area of a sector of a circles is calculated by the equation A = πr^2 (theta/360). From the data of the sector, we determine the radius of the circle. THen, we can calculate for the area of the circle.

16.4π = πr^2 (72/360)
r = 9.06

Area of circle = πr^2 
Area of circle = π(9.06)^2
Area of circle = 82π
