Expression is equivalent to 5(6x+3y)

The answer and how to do it.

Kruka [31]

let x = orginal price of the shorts

$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05

$21 = x(80%) * 1.05

$21 = 0.8x * 1.05

Subtract 1.05 from both sides

$19.95 = 0.8x

Divide 0.8 from both sides

$24.9375 = x

So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94

There are two numbers whose sum is 64. The larger number subtracted from 4 times the smaller number gives 31. Find the numbers.

Pani-rosa [81]

There are two numbers whose sum is 64. The larger number subtracted from 4 times the smaller number gives 31. Then the numbers are 45 and 19

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that, There are two numbers whose sum is 64.

Let the number be a and b in which a is bigger.

Then, a + b = 64 ------ eqn (1)

The larger number subtracted from 4 times the smaller number gives 31.

4 x b – a = 31

4b – a = 31 ----- eqn (2)

We have to find the numbers.

So, from eqn (2)

a = 4b – 31

Subatitute a in (1)

4b – 31 + b = 64

On solving we get

5b = 64 + 31

5b = 95

b = 19

So, b = 19, then eqn 1

a + 19 = 64

On simplification,

a = 64 – 19

a = 45

Hence, the two numbers are 45 and 19

Todd wants to make a snack of a number of grapes and slices of cheese. He knows that each grape has 2 calories. The slice of che

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) C = 2g + 155c

b) g = 25 grapes

c) c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

grapes = g = 2 calories

cheese = c = 155 calories

a) Equation, we consider the amount of grapes and the calores given.

Total calories = C = 2g + 155c

b) We consider that the slices of cheese stays the same

2g + 155 = 205

2g = 205 -155

2g = 50

g = 50/2 = 25 grapes

c) Then the number of grapes stays the same

2(25) + 155c = 515

50 + 155c = 515

155c = 515 - 50

155c = 465

c = 465/155

c = 3 slices of cheese

Marty made a $220 bank deposit using $10 bills and $5 bills. She gave the teller a total of 38 bills, how many $5 bills were in

Luda [366]

ANSWER: 32 five-dollar bills

======

EXPLANATION:

Let x be number of $5 bills

Let y be number of $10 bills

Since we have total of 38 bills, we must have the sum of x and y be 38

x + y = 38 (I)

Since the total amount deposited is $220, we must have the sum of 5x and 10y be 220 (x and y are just the "number of" their respective bills, so we multiply them by their value to get the total value):

5x + 10y = 220 (II)

System of equations:

$\left\{ \begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ 5x + 10y &= 220 && \text{(II)} \end{aligned} \right.$

Divide both sides of equation (II) by 5 so our numbers become smaller

$\left\{ \begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ x + 2y &= 44 && \text{(II)} \end{aligned} \right.$

Rearrange (I) to solve for y so that we can substitute into (II)

$\begin{aligned} x + y &= 38 && \text{(I)} \\ y &= 38 - x \end{aligned}$

Substituting this into equation (II) for the y:

$\begin{aligned} x + 2y &= 44 && \text{(II)} \\ x + 2(38 - x) &= 44\\ x + 76 - 2x &= 44 \\ -x &= -32 \\ x &= 32 \end{aligned}$

We have 32 five-dollar bills

======

If we want to finish off the question, use y = 38 - x to figure out number of $10 bills

$y = 38 - 32 = 6$

32 five-dollar bills and 6 ten-dollar bills

you can buy 5 cans of green beans at the village market for $3 you can buy 10 of the same cans of beans at Sams Club for $6.10 w

ioda

Each can of green beans costs ($3.00/5) = 60¢ at the
village market, and ($6.10/10) = 61¢ at Sam's Club.

If you're watching every penny, then that MIGHT be enough
of a difference to make you decide to buy your beans at the
village market, but not necessarily.

If, say, the village market is farther away from you, or if there are
other things you're going to get from Sam's anyway, then you
should buy your beans there too.
