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

One number is 9 more than another. if the sum of the two numbers is 171, find the two numbers
allochka39001 [22]
Let x be the 1st number
x + 9 be the second number

Equation:
x + x+9 = 171

Solution:
2x + 9 = 171
2x = 171 - 9
2x = 162
x = 81
x + 9 = 90

81 + 90 = 171

Answer:

I think its 4 because all the other ones are adding half of the original number

16-24 adds 8

8-12 adds 4

1-1.5 adds .5

so if it's going to 6 it should be 4 adding 2

I honestly don’t know. But the square in the bottom of the triangles indicate that it is a right triangle equaling 90 degrees. You can try using that along with other knowledge of right triangles you have. Could you possibly use Pythagorean theorem also?

Joe manages a local drug store. His base salary is $300 per week plus 1.8% of the weekly sales at the store. What must the weekl
Montano1993 [528]
Let x be the total weekly sales.

His salary is $300/week + 1.8% (x), if he wants to earn $570, then:

300 + 1.8%(x) = 570
1.8%(x) = 270
0.018 (x) = 270

and x = 270/0.018 = $15,000
