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

Do

3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88

then 3x = 5.88 - 2.25

to 3x = 3.63

and last of allx = 3.63 / 3

How many solutions does the following equation have 3(X + 9) = 2x + 54
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 9) = 2x + 54

3x + 27 = 2x + 54

3x + 27 - 2x = 2x + 54 - 2x

x + 27 = 54

x + 27 - 27 = 54 - 27

x = 27

We invested $10000 into two bank accounts. One account earns 14% per year, the other account earns 8% per year. How much did we
Blababa [14]

Answer:

$7,300 was invested in the 14% account while $2,700 was invested in the 8% interest account

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested in first account be $x while the amount for second account is $y

Mathematically;

x + y = 10,000 •••••••••(i)

Interest on first account

= 14% of x = 14/100 * x

Interest on second account

= 8% of y= 8/100 * y

Adding all together will give total

14/100 * x + 8/100 * y = 1238

Multiply through by 100

14x + 8y = 123800 •••••••(ii)

From equation 1, x = 10,000 - y

Insert this into second equation

14(10,000-y) + 8y = 123,800

140,000 - 14y + 8y = 123,800

140,000 - 6y = 123,800

6y = 140,000 - 123,800

6y = 16,200

y = 16,200/6

y = $2,700

Recall

x + y = 10,000

x = 10000 - y

x = 10,000 - 2,700

x = $7,300
