If #peaches = x and #plums = y we can write the following equations:

x+y=15
0.89x + 0.39y = 8.85

and x and y are whole numbers.

converting the first to x=15-y and plugging it into the second, you get

0.89(15-y) + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
13.35 - 0.89y + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
4.5 = 0.5y =>
y = 9

so x = 15-9 = 6

She bought 9 plums and 6 peaches.

Math help guys how wouls i work this out

8 > 7 + \frac{x}{6}   Subtract 7 from both sides

1 > \frac{x}{6}   Multiply both sides by 6

6 > x   Flip it around so it's easier to read

x < 6

You can graph your answer by drawing an open circle at the 6 and coloring the line to the left. The circle should be open, because x is <em>less than 6</em>, not less than or equal to. You would color to the left to show that x can be anything less than 6.

Alonso is buying a new phone for $ 870
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get 15% of 870:

   First, get 10 percent of 870, which is 87, then half that, which is 43.5

   Get the 87 and add the 43.5 on it, to get the full 15%, you end up with $130.5, which is the monthly payment.

(Only problem is that im pretty sure you put an extra 0, because if you just wrote 87 dollar's then you would've got 13.05, the actual answer, but if you add an extra 0 then you end up with 130$, just to let you know.)
