Answer:

60.15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 km on the map represents 4 mi on land, then we'd get the answer by using the relation

6 km -> 4 mi

x km -> 40.1 mi

Where x km is the length on the map we're looking for. If we cross multiply

6 * 40.1 = 4x

240.6 = 4x

x = 240.6/4

x = 60.15 km.

That is the length we're looking for

Abby filled her goodie bags with 4 cookies and 3 candy bars and spent a total of $10.25 per bag. Marissa filled her goodie bags
Paladinen [302]
Let's start by writing a system of linear equations:
c -> cookies 
cb -> candy bars
(You can use any abbreviations to your preference)

Abby:
4 cookies 
3 candy bars
$10.25 per bag
The equation would be:
4c+ 3cb = $10.25

Marissa:
2 cookies
7 candy bars
$14.75 per bag
The equation would be:
2c + 7cb = $14.75

So our linear equation system would be:
<span>4c+ 3cb = $10.25
</span><span>2c + 7cb = $14.75

I would try to get rid of one variable so I can solve for the other variable. In this case, it is easier to get rid of c since I can multiply the second equations by 2. Then it would subtract the two equations.

(2c + 7cb = $14.75) 2 = 4c + 14 cb = $29.50

      4c + 3cb = $10.25
   -  4c+14 cb = $29.50                    (4c would get canceled.)
---------------------------------
             -11 cb = - $19.25                (Divide by -11 to solve for cb)
</span>             ---------   -------------
              -11           -11
            
             cb = $1.75

Now we know cb (candy bar) cost, we would substitute this value into cb into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which equation you put it in. I will substitute it in the first equations. 

  4c + 3 (1.75) = $10.25
  4c + 5.25 = $10.25                       (Multiply 3 by 1.75)
       -5.25       -5.25                         (Subtract 5.25 on both sides)
             4c = 5                                 (Divide by 4 on both sides to get c)
             ----   ---
              4      4
         
         c= 1.25

Check the work:
4(1.25) + 3(1.75) 
  = $10.25

2(1.25) + 7(1.75)
   = $14.75

Total cost:
cookies = $1.25
candy bars = $ 1.75

Hope this helps! :)

you bought a 7 notebooks at the school supply store cost $4.76 what is the unit rate explain how you determined your answer use
Contact [7]
You paid $4.76 total for 7 notebooks. To figure out how much each individual notebook cost, you divide the total cost by the number of things you bought, so Cost of One Notebook = Total Cost of Notebooks / Number of Notebooks = $4.76 / 7 = $0.68 This is the unit rate. To buy three notebooks, you just calculate the total cost of three notebooks at this price point, so Cost of Three Notebooks = Cost of One Notebook * 3 Notebo0ks = $0.68 * 3 = $2.04

Sale Price = $42 (answer). This means the cost of the item to you is $42. You will pay $42 for a item with original price of $56 when discounted 25%. In this example, if you buy an item at $56 with 25% discount, you will pay 56 - 14 = 42 dollars.
