A kilogram is 1000 grams. Therefore, 5000 g is 5 kg
$3.00-$2.40 = $0.60
$0.60/$3.00 = $0.2
$0.2x100 = 20% decrease
◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
Remember, (a/b)/(c/d)=(a/b)(d/c)=(ad)/(bc)
so
walls per gallon
4/5 wall per 5/8 gallon
(4/5)/(5/8)
(4/5)(8/5)
32/25
1.28
the unit rate is 1.28 walls per gallon
Answer:
graph B
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3y - 5x < - 6
Since the inequality is < then the line must be broken
If ≤ then line would be solid
The only possible graphs are B and D
Choose a test point in the shaded region of each graph and check validity
graph B (2, 0) ← substitute into left side of inequality
0 - 5(2) = 0 - 10 = - 10 < - 6 ← this is valid
graph D (0, 0 ) ← substitute into left side of inequality
0 - 0 = 0 > - 6 ← this is not valid
Hence graph B is the correct graph
