<h3>16 lollipops and 9 bags of chips are sold</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the number of lollipops sold
Let "y" be the number of bags of chips sold
Cost of 1 lollipop = $ 1.50
Cost of 1 bag of chip = $ 1.75
<em><u>Yesterday Lucy made $39.75 from selling a total of 25 lollipops and bags of chips</u></em>
Therefore,
x + y = 25
y = 25 - x -------- eqn 1
<em><u>Yesterday Lucy made $39.75</u></em>
Therefore,
number of lollipops sold x Cost of 1 lollipop + number of bags of chips sold x Cost of 1 bag of chip = 39.75

1.5x + 1.75y = 39.75 -------- eqn 2
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>
1.5x + 1.75(25 - x) = 39.75
1.5x + 43.75 - 1.75x = 39.75
0.25x = 4
<h3>x = 16</h3>
<em><u>Substitute x = 16 in eqn 1</u></em>
y = 25 - 16
<h3>y = 9</h3>
Thus 16 lollipops and 9 bags of chips are sold
I think the correct answer is A
Answer:
4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
because it is 0.44444444 repeating :)
So that they have the same denominator you can rewrite 9n as (27/3)n
(27/3)n + (2/3)n = 4
(29/3)n = 4
Multiply both sides by 3/29 to isolate variable n.
n = 4(3/29)
n = 12/29
9+2x - 5 = 3x
3x - 2x = 4
x = 4
answer is D. 4
