Let us assume that cost of each granola bar be $x and that of a cup of yogurt be $y  
From person A's purchase, we get  
12x + 7y = 15.5; equation A  
And from person B's purchase, 
6x + 11y = 11.5; equation B  
Let us multiply equation B by 2 and subtracting equation A from it, we will get  
12x + 22y - 12x - 7y = 23 - 15.5,  
=> 15y = 7.5 
or, y = 0.5  
Substituting value of y in equation A, we can find x  
12x + 7*0.5 = 15.5 
=> x = (15.5 - 3.5)/12 
or, x = 1  
Therefore, cost of granola bar is $1, and that of yogurt is $0.5

2 x 100 + 1 x 60
An expression is a math equation without the equals sign and answer.
It is 2 x 100 because he bought 2 packs of 100 so 2 x 100 and it is plus 1 x 60 because he ALSO bought 1 pack of 60 paper plates.

The formula is:

V=Bh or V= l x w x h

I will use the l x w x h

So we know what the values are for each unit, so we would plug them in:

L x W x H = 10 x 2.3 x 4.5

Multiply the values which gets you 103.5


So the answer is 103.5 units cubed.

Someone please help. It is easy

Alright. So we have 2 eggs at 2.49 each. That is $4.98. We have .25 pounds cheese priced at $13.40 per pound. 13.40 x .25 = $3.35. Then we have juice at $5.49. If we add those up we get: 4.98+3.35+5.49=$13.82. Then we get $0.75 in change, so if we add $13.82 and 0.75 we get: $14.57

The answer is $14.57.
