Answer:

Harry buys 6 apples and 5 oranges at the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each apples = $0.8

Cost of each oranges = $0.95

Total money spend =$9.55

Number of fruits bought= 11

We need to find the number of apples bought and number of oranges were bought.

Solution:

Let the number of apples bought be 'a'.

Let the number of oranges were bought be 'o'.

Number of fruits bought= 11

So we can say that;

Number of fruits bought is equal to sum number of apples bought and number of oranges were bought.

framing in equation form we get;

a+o=11 ⇒ equation 1

Now we can say that;

Total money spend is equal to number of apples bought multiplied by Cost of each apples plus number of oranges were bought multiplied by Cost of each oranges.

framing in equation form we get;

0.8a+0.95o=9.55 ⇒ equation 2

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 0.8 we get;

0.8(a+o)=0.8\times11

0.8a+0.8o=8.8 ⇒ equation 3

Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2 we get;

0.8a+0.95o-(0.8a+0.8o)=9.55-8.8\\\\0.8a+0.95o-0.8a-0.8o=0.75\\\\0.15o=0.75

Dividing both side by 0.15 we get;

\frac{0.15o}{0.15}=\frac{0.75}{0.15}\\\\o=5

Substituting the value of o in equation 1 we get;

a+o=11\\\\a+5=11\\\\a=11-5=6

Hence Harry buys 6 apples and 5 oranges at the store.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠1 + ∠2 = 180                      Linear pair

∠4 + ∠5 +∠ 3 = 180             form straight line

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠3        from statement 1 and 2

∠3 +∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠3          ∠1 and ∠3 are vertically opposite angles.

∠2 = ∠4 + ∠5                           Proved

Write an equation in slope intercept form, passes through (-1,-10), parallel to y=7
gregori [183]
The line y=7 is a horizontal line with a slope of 0.
Slope intercept form of 
y=mx+b 

would be
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=0 and point of (-1,-10)
y-(-10)=0

y=-10

Tina made a 9-inch apple pie, which she cut into 8 slices. Tina and 2 of her friends each ate a piece of pie. what is the approx
EleoNora [17]
9" = the diameter
4.5" = the radius
area of a circle = π * r^2
area of pie = 4.5^2 * π
8-3 = 5 so 5/8 remaining
5/8 * 4.5^2 *π
this is equal to 39.7 which rounds to 40"^2
