Marie placed two orders at the same restaurant last month. In one order, she received 5 trays of lasagna and 3 trays of garlic b

read for $163. In the other order, she received 4 trays of lasagna and 4 trays of garlic bread for $150.80. What is the price for one tray of lasagna, l, and one tray of garlic bread, g? l = $24.95 g = $12.75 l = $12.75 g = $24.95 l = $24.75 g = $12.95 l = $12.95 g = $24.75

Answer:

L=$24.95 , G=$12.75

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a classic system of equations problem.  There are several methods of solving these problems, because of the circumstances and values given I think it's best to use the elimination method.  The elimination method attempts to cancel out a variable by subtracting one equation from another.  

The first statement Marie received an order of 5 trays of lasagna and 3 trays of garlic bread for a total of $163.  I'm going to use "L" for lasagna and "G" for garlic bread.  Therefore, the equation for the scenario above is:

5L+3G=163

In the second statement Marie received an order of 4 trays of lasagna and 4 trays of garlic bread and so:

4L+4G=150.80

Now we cannot use the elimination method directly because equation 1 and equation 2 do not have any coefficients in common.  However, we can eliminate "G" by first multiplying the top equation by 4 and the bottom equation by 3.  We are doing this because those are the coefficients of the other equation, and thus will return a common value as such:

Equation 1:

4(5L+3G=163)\\20L+12G=652

Equation 2:

3(4L+4G=150.80)\\12L+12G=452.40

Now we can subtract equation 2 from equation 1 and eliminate the "G" variable as such:

20L+12G=652\\-(12L+12G=452.40)\\\\8L+0G=199.60\\\\8L=199.60\\\\

By solving for L we obtain:

8L=199.60\\\\\frac{8L}{8}=\frac{199.60}{8}\\\\L=24.95

Therefore, one tray of lasagna is $24.95.  Now that we know the value of "L" we can use any of our original equations to figure out what "G" is.  I'll use the first equation and so:

5L+3G=163\\\\5(24.95)+3G=163\\\\124.75+3G=163\\\\124.75-124.75+3G=163-124.75\\\\3G=38.25\\\\\frac{3G}{3}=\frac{38.25}{3}\\\\G=12.75

And so the price of a tray of garlic bread is $12.75.  So the answer is the price of lasagna = $24.95  and garlic bread = $12.75

Which of the following describe 8? Select all that apply.
pav-90 [236]

8 is a<u> Natural number, </u><u>Whole number, Integer and Real number</u>

<h3>What is an integer?</h3>

An integer is a number that cannot be expressed as fraction. They are known as whole numbers.

For natural numbers, they are value that starts from 1 and above. Since 8 is greater than 1, hence it is a natural number.

Real number includes both fractions and whole numbers, hence 8 is also a real number.

Based on the explanation, we can conclude that 8 is a<u> Natural number, </u><u>Whole number, Integer and Real number</u>

PLEASE HELP ME. There is 2 questions
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

If i did the math correctly the answer to number 9 is a.5 and number 10 is c. Vanilla and German chocolate cupcakes represent about 21% of total sales

Step-by-step explanation:

for number 9 you write down each of the numbers with a dot above them. how many dots represents how many times you repeat the number. you then add it together and divide by the amount of numbers you added together. so in this case it would be 65 ÷ 12. this ends up being 5.41 but you'd round down to 5.

for number 10 you write out how many each flavor sold. then you put those numbers over the total cupcakes sold. divide the denominator by 100 and then divide the numerator by that number. then that gives you the fractions of the percent each one was. the german chocolate and the vanilla added together is almost exactly 21% of the sales
