Answer:

One gallon of milk costs $3.64

One  bottle of water costs $2.54

One bag of chips costs $0.79

Step-by-step explanation:

m represent gallons of milk

w represents  bottles of water

c represents snack-size bags of chips

t = total bill

t = m + w + c         ... eq 1

t = $33.60

but

w = 2c

m = 1.90 + w

m = 1.9 + 2c

Slot in the values in eq 1

33.60 = (1.9 + 2c ) + 2c + c

33.60 = 1.9 + 5c

33.60 - 1.9 = 5c

31.7 = 5c

c = $6.34

Slot in the value of c in w and m

w = 2c

w = 2(6.34)

w = $12.68

m = 1.9 + 2c

m = 1.9 + 2(6.34)

m = $14.58

4 gallons of milk cost $14.58

Therefore, one gallon if milk costs = 14.58/4 = $3.64

5 bottles of water cost $12.68

Therefore, one bottle of water costs = 12.68/5 = $2.54

8 bags of chips = $6.34

Therefore, one bag of chips cost = 6.34/8 = $0.79

What is -0.75p-2=0.25p
ki77a [65]

you move first the number without the variable to the other side with the opposite sign

-0.75p=0.25+2

-0.75p=2.25

then as -0.75 is multiplying you pass it to the other side dividing

p=2.25/-0.75

p=-3

Aliaa got a mark of 60 in her first 4 tests, so her total mark is 60 x 4 = 240. On her fifth test, she got a mark of 80.
So her average is:

For a certain​ candy, 20​% of the pieces are​ yellow, 15​% are​ red, 20​% are​ blue, 20​% are​ green, and the rest are brown. ​a
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question we are given the percentages of each of the types of candies in the bag except for brown. Since the sum of all the percentages equals 75% and brown is the remaining percent then we can calculate that brown is (100-75 = 25%) 25% of the bag. Now we can show the probabilities of getting a certain type of candy by placing the percentages over the total percentage (100%).

  • Brown: \frac{25}{100}
  • Yellow or Blue: \frac{20}{100} +\frac{20}{100} = \frac{40}{100}  ....add the numerators
  • Not Green:  \frac{80}{100}.... since the sum of all the rest is 80%
  • Stiped:  \frac{25}{100} .... there are 0 striped candies.

Assuming the <u><em>ratios/percentages</em></u> of the candies stay the same having an infinite amount of candy will not affect the probabilities. That being said in order to calculate consecutive probability of getting 3 of a certain type in a row we have to multiply the probabilities together. This is calculated by multiplying the numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators.

  • 3 Browns: \frac{25*25*25}{100*100*100} = \frac{15,625}{1,000,000} = \frac{1.5625}{100}

  • the 1st and 3rd are red while the middle is any. We multiply 15% * (total of all minus red which is 85%) * 15% like so.

\frac{15*85*15}{100*100*100} = \frac{19,125}{1,000,000} = \frac{1.9125}{100}

  • None are Yellow: multiply the percent of all minus yellow three times.

\frac{80*80*80}{100*100*100} = \frac{512,000}{1,000,000} = \frac{51.2}{100}

  • At least 1 green: multiply the percent of green by 100% twice, since the other two can by any

\frac{20*100*100}{100*100*100} = \frac{200,000}{1,000,000} = \frac{20}{100}

5 - 6 - 9 - 8 - 5 - 4 + 5 - 5 -5 -5 - 32 = ?
musickatia [10]

5 - 6 = -1

-1 - 9  = -10

-10 - 8 = -18

-18 - 5 = -23

-23 - 4  = -27

-27 + 5  = -22

-22 - 5 = -27

-27 -5 = -32

-32 -5  = -37

-37 - 32 = -69

Answer = -69
