Answer:

b) $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of each CD and y be the cost of each DVD,

Since, 3 CDs and 5 DVDs cost $ 137,

⇒ 3x + 5y = 137 -------(1),

Also, 2 CDS and 7 DVDs cost $ 161,

⇒ 2x + 7y = 161 --------(2),

7 × equation (1) - 5 × equation (2)   ( ∵ we need the value of x so we have to eliminate y for this LCM(7,5) = 35 )

We get,

21x - 10x = 959 - 805

11x = 154

⇒ x = \frac{154}{11} = 14

Hence, the cost of each CD is $ 14,

Option 'b' is correct.

John is going camping, and he needs to buy a tent. The outdoor store has one that cost $90, but it's on sale for 25% off. What i
pochemuha

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Okay so, im not the best at explaining, but so we have a percentage. its 25%. you want to take the 25% and put it over 100 because a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. so it will be written as 25%/100</em>

<em />

<em>divide 25 by 100 and you get 0.25, correct? so that's one step further towards the answer.</em>

<em>then we write x/90 because we don't know (well we do) what we're gonna put. but, we're gonna multiply 0.25 by 90 and we get 22.5, which is equivalent to </em><em>22.50</em><em>.</em>

kompoz [17]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the formula used in calculating direct proportion which is equal to:

y = kx

where,

x = speed of a processor in GHz

y = the cost in pounds

Therefore, y = kx

500 = 2k

Therefore, y = 2k
