Answer:
that is a very good question sir
Step-by-step explanation:
The unit price for the 7.48 is $2 kg per bag and the unit price for the 7.94 is $2 per kg bag, there is no difference in unit rates of both the bag.
<h3>What is unit rate?</h3>
A unit rate means a rate for one of something.
Given that, Susan paid $15.84 for a 7.48 kg bag of dog food. A few weeks later, she paid $16.58 for a 7.94 kg bag at a different store.
15.48/7.48 = $2/kg
16.58/7.94 = $2/kg
Hence, there is no difference in between both the bags, hence either of them are better.

If Andy has 102 coins mixed with dimes and quarters and monetary value of $17.10 then he has 56 dimes and 42 quarters.
Given number of coins Andy has is 102 and montary value of all coins is $17.10.
We have to determine number of dimes and quarters.
1 dime=$0.10
1 quarter=$0.25
Suppose the number of dimes be x and number of quarters be y.
The equations are:
0.10x+0.25y=17.10------------1
x+y=102-------------2
from equation 2, y=102-x
Put the value of y=102-x in equation 1
0.10x+0.25(102-x)=17.10
0.10x+25.5-0.25x=17.10
-0.15x=17.10-25.5
-0.15x=-8.4
x=8.4/0.15
x=56
Put the value of x in y=102-x
y=102-56
y=46
Hence Andy has 56 number of dimes and 46 quarters.

Answer:
x = 2, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
i) It is given that 5x - 3y =1
ii) It is also given that x = 2y - 4
iii) we can substitute the value of x from ii) in the equation in i) and we will get 5(2y - 4) - 3y = 1 ⇒ 10y - 20 -3y = 1 ⇒ 7y = 21 ∴ y = 3
iv) substituting the value of y obtained in ii) we get x = (2 × 3) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2.
v) Therefore x = 2.
