Answer:
36 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h and p represent the number of highlighters and the number of pencils, respectively.
Then h + p = 45, and h = 45 - p.
Tom paid a total of $30 for these supplies, with ($2/highligher)(h) + ($0.333/pencil) adding up to that amount.
substituting 45 - p for h in 2h + 0.333p = 30, we get:
2(45 - p) + 0.333p = 30, or
90 - 2p + 0.333p = 30
Combine the constants: 60 = 2p - 0.333p, or 60 = 1.667p
Then p = 60/1.667 = 35.9928, or 36.
Tom bought 36 pencils for $12, and 45-36, or 9, highlighters for $18, for a total purchase of $30. This shows that these calculations are correct.
Answer:
600 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
So basically we can write both plans as linear functions:
F(x) = $59.96+$0.14 . x
S(x) = $71.96+$0.12 . x
Where F(x) is the first plan, S(x) is the second one and X are the miles driven.
To know how many miles does Mai need to drive for the two plans to cost the same, we equalize both equations and isolate x.
F(x) = S (x)
Mai has to drive 600 miles for the two plans to cost the same-
Answer:
800. is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
ur welcome.
6/10+7/12
=72/120+70/120
=142/120
=120/120+22/120
=1+22/120
=1+11/60
<em>*Good estimate would be 1+1/6 = 1.17</em>
