Answer:

Cost\ of\ donut=\frac{49}{24}\approx \$2.042\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=\frac{49}{4}\approx \$12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Let\ cost\ of\ coffee=y\\\\cost\ of\ one\ donut=x\\\\Each\ friend\ buy\ one\ coffee\ and\ two\ donuts\\\\Amount\ for\ 1\ friend=Cost\ of\ coffee+2\times cost\ of\ donut\\\\Amount\ for\ 1\ friend=y+2x\\\\Amount\ required\ for\ 3\ friend=3\times Amount\ for\ 1\ friend\\\\Amount\ required\ for\ 3\ friend=3\times (y+2x)\\\\Amount\ required\ for\ 3\ friend=3y+6x\\\\Total\ bill=\$ 22\\\\3y+2x=22\\\\Given\ cost\ of\ coffee=\$3.25\\\\y=\$3.25

Hence\ solution\ of\ following\ system\ of\ equation\ will\ give\ cost\ of\ donut:\\\\3y+6x=22\\\\y=3.25\\\\\\Substitute\ y=3.25\ in\ first\ equation\\\\3\times 3.25+6x=22\\\\9.75+6x=22\\\\6x=22-9.75\\\\6x=12.25\\\\x=\frac{12.25}{6}\\\\x=\frac{49}{24}\approx \$2.042\\\\Cost\ of\ donut=\frac{49}{24}\approx \$2.042

See attached diagram.

b.

Each\ friend\ takes\ 2\ donuts\\\\Total\ donuts=Number\ of\ friends\times 2\\\\Total\ donuts=3\times 2=6\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=number\ of\ donuts\times cost\ of\ 1\ donut\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=6\times \frac{49}{24}\\\\cost\ of\ donuts=\frac{49}{4}\approx \$12.25

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

  • $6.75 and $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a) <u>Jamal spent:</u>

  • 2x

<u>Isaiah spent:</u>

  • 3 (x - 2.25)

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • 2x = 3(x - 2.25)

b) <u>Solving the equation</u>

  • 2x = 3x - 6.75
  • 3x - 2x = 6.75
  • x = 6.75

c) <u>Jamal's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 each

<u>Isaiah's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each
