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

cluponka [151]

Answer: We need to mix 18 quarts of sparkling water with 9 quarts of grape juice.

We need to mix 1.875 quarts of grape juice with 3.75 quarts of sparkling water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A recipe for sparkling grape juice calls for 1.5 quarts of sparkling water and .75 quart of grape juice.

Since, for recipe of sparkling grape juice , they should be used in same proportion.

Let x be the amount of sparkling water need to mix with 9 quarts of grape juice, then

\frac{x}{9}=\frac{1.5}{0.75}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{1.5\times9}{0.75}\\\Rightarrow\ x=18

We need to mix 18 quarts of sparkling water with 9 quarts of grape juice.

Let y be the amount of grape juice need to mix with 3.75 quarts of sparkling water, then

\frac{3.75}{y}=\frac{1.5}{0.75}\\\Rightarrow\ y=\frac{3.75\times0.75}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow\ y=1.875

We need to mix 1.875 quarts of grape juice with 3.75 quarts of sparkling water.
