In winter, the price of apples suddenly went up by$0.75 per pound. Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at the new price for a total of
$5.88.
Write an equation to determine the original price per pound (p) and then find the original price per pound.
2 answers:
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
Answer:
1.21=x
Step-by-step explanation:
Do
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
then 3x + 2.25 = 5.88
then 3x = 5.88 - 2.25
to 3x = 3.63
and last of allx = 3.63 / 3

Now, to answer the question, we need to add the weight of (58-42) = 16 gallons of fuel to the weight of the plane
carrying 42 gallons of fuel, 2331 pounds.
So, the answer is 2331 + 16*5.5 = 2419 pounds.

Express your length and width as algebraic expressions:
width = x
length = 4x
Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x:
perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)
50 = 2(4x) + 2(x)
50 = 8x + 2x
50 = 10x
5 = x
The width (x) is 5 feet and the length (4x) is 20 feet.
