Answer:
Notebooks: $2.75 each; pens: $1.10 each
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n and p represent the unit cost of notebooks and the unit cost of pens.
Then 3n + 2p = $10.45, and 4n + 6p = $17.60.
Let's use elimination by addition/subtraction to find n and p.
Multiplying the first equation by -3, we get -9n - 6p = -$31.35
and then combine this with the second: 4n + 6p = $17.60
-----------------------------
Then, -5n = -$13.75
Dividing both sides by 55, we get n = $13.75 / 5, so we now know that n = $2.75. Each notebook costs $2.75.
Subbing $2.75 for n in the first equation, we get:
3($2.75) + 2p = $10.45, or
$8.25 + 2p = $10.45
Solving for p, we get p = $2.20 / 2 = $1.10.
Each pen costs $1.10.
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/12 reduces to 1/4.
1/2 alone is greater than 1/4, so when 2/10 is added to 1/2, it is certainly greater than 3/12.
Answer: B.
Answer:
6 packages B
7 packages A
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of packages A be a and the number of packages B be b
Total number of packages is 13;
Thus;
a + b = 13 •••••(i)
Total package a cost is 18(a) = 18a
Total package b cost is 22(b) = 22b
Total of both is 258
18a + 22b = 258 •••••••(ii)
From i, a = 13-b
Put this in equation ii
18(13-b) + 22b = 258
234-18b + 22b = 258
4b = 258-234
4b = 24
b = 24/4 = 6
since;
a + b = 13
a + 6 = 13
a = 13-6
a = 7
38, 64

102-12 I think that’s the answer (:
Pretty sure it would be C, 10x + 5
