Helen bought 15 chips and 8 pretzels.

Chips and pretzels = 23 snacks
Chips = x
pretzels = 23 - x
chips = $0.25
pretzels = $0.50

$0.25x + $0.50(23-x) = $7.75
$0.25x + $11.50 - $0.50x = $7.75
-$0.25x = $7.75 - $11.50
-$0.25x = -$3.75
-$0.25x/-$0.25 = -$3.75/-$0.25
x = 15  * number of chips.

number of pretzels = 23 - x = 23 - 15 = 8

To check:
$0.25(15) + $0.50(8) = $7.75
$3.75 + $4.00 = $7.75
$7.75 = $7.75

3)There are 9 colorful socks in a drawer: 3 green, 2
Lelu [443]

Answer:

1/24 chance

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin you would need to find the probability of picking a green sock which would be 3/9; and you could simplify this to 1/3.

After that you need to find the probability of picking a purple sock out of the 8 left, which would provide you with 1/8. To find the probability of both you would multiply 1/8 by 1/3 to find the combined probability which would leave you with 1/24.

Elis [28]

I can help! With the Greatest Common Factor you figure out the greatest number that can go into all numbers. The number here would be the 2. You then divide 2 by all the numbers in the problem.
You would end up getting x^2 + 6x + 9


I use to struggle with this too. Hope this helps! Have a great day!!
