Answer: the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough is $1.5

the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough is $2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough.

Let y represent the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough.

Mrs. Julien’s class sold 25 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 30 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $112.50. This means that

25x + 30y = 112.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Mrs. Castillejo’s class sold 8 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 45 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $124.50. This means that

8x + 45y = 124.5 - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 25, it becomes

200x + 240y = 900

200x + 1125 = 3112.5

Subtracting, it becomes

- 885y = - 2212.5

y = - 2212.5/- 885

y = 2.5

Substituting y = 2.5 into equation 1, it becomes

25x + 30 × 2.5 = 112.5

25x + 75 = 112.5

25x = 112.5 - 75 = 37.5

x = 37.5/25 = 1.5

The method used is the elimination method. It is more convenient to use.

Andrew has a four-year college loan for $20,000. The lender charges a simple interest rate of 5 percent. How much interest will
Olegator [25]

Given that loan amount P=20000

Interest rate r=5% = 0.05

Time of loan t=4 years

Now to find the interest amount we just plug those values into formula

simple interest = P × r × t

simple interest = 20000* 0.05* 4

simple interest = 1000 * 4

simple interest = 4000

Hence final answer is choice b. $4000.

Katie has read 32 % of a book. If she has read 80 pages, how many more pages does Katie have left to read?
mestny [16]
Percentage of pages of a book read by Katie = 32%
Total number of pages of the book read by Katie = 80
Let us assume the number of pages that the book has = x
Then
(32/100) * x = 80
32x = 80 * 100
32x = 8000
x = 8000/32
   = 250
So the book has a total of 250 pages in it.
Then
The number of pages that Katie still needs to read = 250 - 80
                                                                                 = 170
So Katie needs to read 170 more pages in the book.
