Let n = cost of 1 notebook
Let p = cost of 1 pencil
Then,
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
You can solve for one variable in terms of the other and then substitute into the remaining equation.
3n + 4p = 8.5
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
Multiply the top equation by -2 so that the p-containing terms cancel each other out:
-2(3n + 4p = 8.5)
+ 5n + 8p = 14.5
-n + 0 = -2.5
So after dividing both sides by -1, we see that n = $2.5. Plugging into the first equation gives p = $0.25.
3n + 4p = 8.5
5n + 8p = 14.5
Answer:
f(x) = g(x-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the original number from the new number: 90-75=15
The increase is 15
Now divide the increase by the original number: 15/75=.20
Then multiply your answer by 100: .20x100=20
Answer:
We will use;
21 parts oil
14 parts soy sauce
7 parts Orange
Step-by-step explanation:
We can have all of these as a ratio
That would be;
3 + 2 + 1 = 6
For oil
3/6 * 42 = 21 parts of oil
For Soy sauce
= 2/6 * 42 = 14 parts soy sauce
For Orange
= 1/6 * 42 = 7 parts orange juice
Answer:
$56
Step-by-step explanation:
100 - (100(0.30)) = 100 - 30 = 70
70 - (70(0.20)) = 70 - 14 = 56
