The question is asking for the pattern of change within the given numbers. As you can see, the number decreases by 0.02 from left to right. Therefore, D is the correct answer. The whole number and tenths place remains constant as the hundredths place lowers by 2.
A hamburger costs $2.5 and a milkshake costs $1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Form equations from the given details. Let cost of 1 hamburger be H and cost of 1 milkshake be M.
4H + 2M = 13.50 ------ (1)
& 3H + 1M = 9.25 ------ (2)
- Step 2: Multiply eq(2) with 2 to make coefficients of M equal.
6H + 2M = 18.50 ------- (3)
- Step 3: Subtract eq(3) from eq(1)
⇒ - 2H = - 5
⇒ H = $2.5
- Step 4: Substitute value of H in eq(2) to find M.
⇒ 3 × 2.5 + M = 9.25
⇒ 7.5 + M = 9.25
⇒ M = $1.75
