So for this, you will be doing a system of equations. The first equation will be how much you spent and the second equation is how much they advertise.


Let h = cost of hotdog and d = cost of drinks


10h+5d=35\\ 7h+4d=25.25


With this, i'll be using the substitution method. So firstly, subtract 10h on each side of the first equation. It will look like this: 5d=35-10h


Next, divide 5 on each side of the first equation. Your answer will be d=7-2h


Next, replace d in the second equation with (7-2h). Your second equation will look like this: 7h+4(7-2h)=25.25 . From here you can solve for h.



Firstly, foil 4(7-2h). 7h+28-8h=25.25


Next, combine like terms: 28-h=25.25


Next, subtract 28 on each side to get -h=-2.75


Lastly, multiply -1 on each side of the equation to get h=2.75



Now that we got h, we can solve for d by substituting 2.75 in the h variable in either equation. For this, I'll be using the first one.


10(2.75)+5d=35\\ 27.5+5d=35\\ 5d=7.5\\ d=1.5


In short, hotdogs are $2.75 each and drinks are $1.50 each.

Alex and payton each have a favorite pancake recipe. Alexs recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches, paytons recipe uses 3/
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

9/4z cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches

Cups of flour per batch = 7 1/2 cups ÷ 5 batches

= 15/2 ÷ 5

= 15/2 × 1/5

= (15*1)/(2*5)

= 15/10

Alex recipe per batch= 3/2 cups of flour per batch

paytons recipe uses 3/4 cup of flour more per batch than alexs recipe

Payton's recipe per batch = Alex recipe per batch + 3/4 cups

= 3/2 + 3/4

= (6+3)/4

= 9/4 cups of flour

Payton's recipe per batch = 9/4 cups of flour

What expression can be used to determine the number of cups of flour used to make z batches of paytons pancake recipe

Payton's recipe for z batches = Payton's recipe per batch * number of batches

= 9/4 cups * z batches

= 9/4z cups

Payton's recipe for z batches = 9/4z cups
