Answer:

6x + y = 38.75

x + 2y = 17

price of drink is $5.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price  of popcorn be x

Let the price  of drink be y.

price  of  12 bags of popcorn will be 12x

price  of  2 drinks  will be 2y

it is given that "Kennedy spends a total of $77.50 on 12 bags of popcorn and 2 drinks."

thus

12x + 2y = 77.50

dividing LHS and RHS by 2 we have

12x/2 + 2y/2 = 77.50/2

=> 6x + y = 38.75 _________(1)

__________________________________________________

price  of  3 bags of popcorn will be 3x

price  of  6 drinks  will be 6y

it is given that "Olivia spends a total of $51.00 on 3 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks."

thus

3x + 6y = 51.00

dividing LHS and RHS by 3 we have

3x/3 + 6y/3 = 51/3

=> x + 2y = 17   _____________(2)

__________________________________________________

Thus we have two equation

6x + y = 38.75 _________(1)

x + 2y = 17

=> x = 17 - 2y

putting this value of x in equation 1 we have

6( 17 - 2y) + y = 38.75

=> 102 - 12y + y = 38.75

=> 102 - 11y = 38.75

=> -11y = 38.75 -102

=> -11y = -63.25

=> y = -63.25/-11 = 5.75

as we have x = 17 - 2y

using 5.75 in place of y

x = 17 - 2(5.75 )

=> x = 17 - 11.5

=> x = 5.5

Thus, system of equations are

6x + y = 38.75

x + 2y = 17

price of drink is $5.75

Butoxors [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).

like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...

what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?

the same : 16.

and what is half of 16 ? 8.

so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.

so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.

what was left was

15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound

3. A dish contains 100 candies. Juan removes candies from the dish each day and no
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

If i am correct n= the days so with the days adding up day 10 juan would have 55 of the 100 candies, day 11 he would have 66. The statement said at least 64, so it would have to be 64 or the closet amount to 64 but it cannot be lower than 64. So there for 66 is the closest to the given amount, and in order for juan to get 64 he would need to take candies out for 11 days.

The entrance hall in Black's family house has a perimeter of 71 2/3 ft.IF it is 9 2/5 ft wide, how long is it?
serious [3.7K]

Answer: 26 13/30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The hall is in the shape of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is:

= 2(length + width)

= 2l + 2w

Since perimeter = 71 2/3 ft and Width = 9 2/5 ft wide, the length will be calculated thus:

Perimeter = 2l + 2w

71⅔ = 2l + 2(9 2/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + (2 × 47/5)

71 2/3 = 2l + 94/5

71 2/3 = 2l + 18 4/5

Collect like terms

2l = 71 2/3 - 18 4/5

2l = 71 10/15 - 18 12/15

2l = 52 13/15

l = (52 13/15 ÷ 2)

l = 793/15 × 1/2

l = 793/30

l = 26 13/30

Therefore, the length is 26 13/30ft

Maurinko [17]
Find : Which statements are always true regarding the triangle
m∠5 + m∠3 = m∠1
m∠3 + m∠4 + m∠5 = 180°
m∠5 + m∠6 =180°
m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠6
m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠5 = 180°
Solution:
External angle of triangle = Sum of opposite interior angles
m∠1 = m ∠3 + m∠5
m∠4 = m ∠2 + m∠5
m∠6 = m ∠2 + m∠3
