"color the piece according to your color chart." Do you have that? If you don't, I wouldn't worry, you still did all the work and got all the answers, so your teacher should be fine with it.
We know that 20 percent is 1/5
total price is $8,000
Answer:
50 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a system of equations. Let x be a cookie and y be a brownie then...
x+2y=2x+y
x+y=1
We can solve this using substitution
x=1-y
1-y+2y=2(1-y)+y
1+y=2-2y+y
1+y=2-y
-1=-2y
y=1/2
One brownie costs 50 cents and one cookie costs...
x+1/2=1
x=1/2
One cookie costs 50 cents
One simple way to approach this is to subtract the number that DOESN’T have the variable with the solution by the sum.
Lets use problem 1 as the example:
1.) N+8=13
In this case, we subtract 13 by 8 and get 5, therefore N= 5.
2.) B+17=62
62-17= 45
B= 45
3.) X+5/6= 7/16
7/16-5/6= -19/48
X= -19/48
4.) y+1/7=5/8
5/8-1/7= 27/56
Y= 27/56
5.) 14+y=69
69-14=55
Y=55
6.) c+3.6=4.9
4.9-3.6=1.3
C= 1.3
Now for the word problems:
Lets use 7 as the example-
7.) a number increased by 19 is equal to 221.
Since we don’t know the number being increased by 19, that will be our variable. It will be re-written as so:
N + 19 = 221
Where N is the unknown number.
Using the same method of subtracting by the sum and the number that’s not the variable, we’ll get the solution to N
221-19= 202
N= 202
8.) N + 1 2/3 = 8
8 - 1 2/3 = 19/3= 6 1/3
N= 6 1/3
I really hope this helps
