Margo brought 7 pens from a book store some pens cost $3.00 EACH and the rest cost $4.00 . If she paid a total of 23.00 for the

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Margo bought 7 pens for $23.

Some pens are $3 and some $4.

We need to find how many $3 pens she bought.

Let the number of $3 pens be represented by p and let the number of $3 pens be represented by r. So:

p = $3 and r = $4

Now we know 7 pens were purchased so is we add the number of $3 pens purchased to the number of $4 pens purchased, we will get 7.

p + r = 7

We know that the total cost of the pens is $23 so that equation would be found by takign the $3 pen multiplied by the number of $3 pens purchsed added to the $4 pen multiplied by the number of $4 pens purchsed, which equals $23.

$3p + $4r = $23

Now we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns.

p + r = 7

$3p + $4r = $23

Let's solve for r in the first equation.

p + r = 7 Subtract p from both sides.

p - p + r = 7 - p The p on the left cancels.

r = 7 - p

Now that we know r, we can substitute it into the second equation and solve for p.

$3p + $4r = $23

3p + 4( 7 - p) = 23 Multiply it out.

3p + 4*7 - 4*p = $23

3p + 28 - 4p = 23 Combine like terms.

3p - 4p + 28 = 23

- 1p + 28 = 23 Subtract 28 from both sides.

- p + 28 - 28 = 23 - 28

- p = - 5 Divide each side by -1

- p/- 1 = - 5/ - 1 The negative cancels on each side.

p = 5

We can see Margo bought 5 $3 pens.

For fun, let's solve for how many $4 pens she bought. We know p, so we plug it in the first equation and solve for r.

p + r = 7

5 + r = 7 Subtract 5 from each side

5 - 5 + r = 7 - 5

r = 7 - 5

r = 2

So Margo bought 5 $3 pens and 2 $4 pens!

What does x equal if x-10 divided by x-4 equals 50 divided by -6

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

x=65/14

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-10)/(x-4)=50/-6

-50/6=-25/3

(x-10)/(x-4)=-25/3

x-10=-25/3(x-4)

x-10=-25/3x+100/3

x-(-25/3x)=100/3+10

x+25/3x=130/3

28/3x=130/3

x=(130/3)/(28/3)

x=(130/3)(3/28)

x=130/28

x=65/14

There are 10 golf balls in a rectangular prism. Each golf ball has a diameter of 1.25 inches. Find the volume of the golf balls

lara31 [8.8K]

The answer is D.

The formula for the volume of a sphere is $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

You would divide the diameter in half which would give you your radius (r).
Then you plug in the radius value to find the volume of ONE ball.
You would then multiply by 10 to find the volume of TEN golf balls.

D is the closest answer to the volume of ten golf balls
