Answer:
Jelly beans: $6 for 1 kg
Gummy worms: $7 for 1 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we need to find the cost of 1kg of jelly beans and gummy worms.
To do this, make equations for both scenarios and solve:
2j + 2g = 26
2j + 3g = 33
Turn the bottom equation negative, as we will first solve for gummy worms (g).
2j + 2g = 26
-2j - 3g = -33
Solve:
-g = -7
Divide both sides by -1.
g = 7
We now know that gummy worms cost $7 for 1 kg
To solve for jellybeans (j), plug in 7 to g in one of the equations and solve:
2j + 2(7) = 26
2j + 14 = 26
Subtract 14 from both sides.
2j = 12
Divide both sides by 2.
j = 6
Jellybeans cost $6 for 1 kg.
Check answer by plugging in values to one of the equations:
2(6) + 2(7) = 26
12 + 14 = 26
26 = 26
Answer:
b=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide by -9 to eliminate the -9 on -9b
(Since -9b is the same thing as -9 times b we can use the inverse of multiplication which is division to eliminate the -9 from b but we need to do it on both sides to make it balance)
-9b/-9=45/-9
b=-5
B. I=PRT is the simple interest formula. 120 days is 4 months, or 1/3 of a year.
I=(4,000)(0.05)(0.33333)
I=$66.67
