All you would do is divide 9.99/15 to get how much one pound costs.

The answer would be around 66 or 67 cents.

9.99/15=.666

If a 15 pound bag of candy costs $9.99, then you can use a proportion to find the answer of a 1 pound bag.

15/9.99 = 1/x

9.99 = 15x

9.99/15 = 0.666

1 pound bag of candy will cost 66 cents.

use the elimination method to solve the system of equations choose the correct ordered pair 7x+4y=39 2y+4y=14

Anvisha [2.4K]

$x = 5 \: and \: y = 1.$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7x + 4y = 39 \: - {eq}^{n} (1)$

$2x + 4y = 14 \: \: - {eq}^{n} (2)$

Multiply Equation no (1) with 2 and Equation no (2) with 7.

$14 x + 8y = 78.$

$14x + 28y = 98.$

$( - ) \: \: \: ( - ) \: \: \: ( - )$

$0x + -20y = - 20$

$- 20y = - 20$

$y = \frac{ - 20}{ - 20}$

$y = 1$

Substitute the value of "y" in Equation no (1)

$7x + 4y = 39.$

$7x + 4(1) = 39.$

$7x + 4 = 39.$

$7x = 39 - 4$

$7x = 35.$

$x = \frac{35}{7}$

$x = 5.$

After each charging, a battery is able to hold only 97% of the charge from the previous charging. The battery was used for 18 ho

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The total nuber of hours that the battery can be used over its lifetime is 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use an infinite geometric series to solve this question.

The sum of all values of an infinite geometric series is given by the following equation:

$S = \frac{a_{1}}{1 - r}$

In which $a_{1}$ is the first term and r is the common ratio.

After each charging, a battery is able to hold only 97% of the charge from the previous charging.

This means that $r = 0.97$

The battery was used for 18 hours on its first charge before it had to be recharged.

This means that $a_{1} = 18$

What is the total number of hours the battery can be used over its lifetime?

$S = \frac{18}{1 - 0.97} = 600$

The total nuber of hours that the battery can be used over its lifetime is 600.
