Step-by-step explanation:
25 questions, 2 points each.
that means there were 25×2 = 50 points in total.
Gideon got 42 out of the 50.
100% = 50
1% = 100%/100 = 50/100 = 0.5
42 is how many % ? as many as 1% (0.5) fits into 42.
so,
42/0.5 = 42×2 = 84%
he scored 84%.
x = 3 + y Eqn(1)
y = -2x + 9 Eqn(2)
Let us solve the system of equations with the substitution method
x - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the Eqn(1))
Replacing y = x - 3 in Eqn (2), we have:
x - 3 = -2x + 9
x = -2x + 9 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides of the equation)
x + 2x = 9 + 3 (Adding 2x to both sides of the equation)
3x = 12 ( Adding like terms)
x = 12/3 (Dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation)
x = 4
Replacing x=4 in Eqn(1), we have:
4 = 3 + y
4 - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation)
y=1
The answers are:
x= 4 and y=1
Answer:
18 and 11/16
Step-by-step explanation:
I converted the two numbers into improper fractions which leaves me with
71/8+157/16
I thenn made sure I had common denominators, which means I need to multiply the first number by 2/2 and I'm left with:
142/16+157/16
I can now add the 2 numbers together and I get:
299/16
now we just need to convert the number into a mixed number by dividing, and I am left with:
18 and 11/16
Answer: the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough is $1.5
the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough is $2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one package of macadamia nut chip cookie dough.
Let y represent the cost of one package of triple chocolate cookie dough.
Mrs. Julien’s class sold 25 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 30 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $112.50. This means that
25x + 30y = 112.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Mrs. Castillejo’s class sold 8 packages of macadamia nut chip cookie dough and 45 packages of triple chocolate cookie dough for a total of $124.50. This means that
8x + 45y = 124.5 - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 25, it becomes
200x + 240y = 900
200x + 1125 = 3112.5
Subtracting, it becomes
- 885y = - 2212.5
y = - 2212.5/- 885
y = 2.5
Substituting y = 2.5 into equation 1, it becomes
25x + 30 × 2.5 = 112.5
25x + 75 = 112.5
25x = 112.5 - 75 = 37.5
x = 37.5/25 = 1.5
The method used is the elimination method. It is more convenient to use.
