Answer:

The answers to the question are as follows

A bottle of water costs  $2.00

A gallon of mik cots $4.10 and

A bag of chips costs $1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, it is important to note that it is a word problem hence we read the question carefully to clearly understnd and be able to interprete the message from any perspective

We list out the variables as follows

Number of gallons of milk = 3

Number of bottles of water = 6

Number of chips bags = 8

Bill before tax = $32.30

Price of a bottle of water = twice the price of a bag of chips

Price of a gallon of mlk  = $ 2.10 + price of a bottle of water

Therefore in order to find out how much each item costs let us call the price of  bottle of water $x say

This means that the price of a bag of chips = x/2 and

The price of a gallon of milk = x + $2.10

Therefore  we have by multiplying the prices of the items to their respective quantities and summing up

$(6x + 3(x+2.1)+ 8 x/2) = $32.3

This gives by expanding the values 6x+3x+6.3+4x =32.3

13x+6.3 =32.3

13x = 32.3 - 6.3 = 26

Dividing both sides by 13 gives

x = $2.00

This means that a bottle of water costs  $2.00

A gallon of mik cots $2.00+$2.10 = $4.10

A bag of chips costs x/2 which is equal to $2.00/2 = $1.00

George charged a motorized bicycle on his credit card for $2,000 on June 12. His balance before that purchase on that credit car
Gnesinka [82]
The calculation uses the accumulated daily balance method (ADB).
We assume the statement is based on calendar month (rare!).

George owes $500 from beginning to end of June, so 30 days out of 30.
Interest accrued is 500*0.013*30/30=$6.50.
He also owes $2000 from June 12 to June 30, so 19 days inclusively.
Interest accrued is $2000*.013*(19/30)=16.47
Total interest at the end of the month=$6.50+$16.47=$22.97
