Answer: the diffrence is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by writing a system of linear equations:
c -> cookies
cb -> candy bars
(You can use any abbreviations to your preference)
Abby:
4 cookies
3 candy bars
$10.25 per bag
The equation would be:
4c+ 3cb = $10.25
Marissa:
2 cookies
7 candy bars
$14.75 per bag
The equation would be:
2c + 7cb = $14.75
So our linear equation system would be:
<span>4c+ 3cb = $10.25
</span><span>2c + 7cb = $14.75
I would try to get rid of one variable so I can solve for the other variable. In this case, it is easier to get rid of c since I can multiply the second equations by 2. Then it would subtract the two equations.
(2c + 7cb = $14.75) 2 = 4c + 14 cb = $29.50
4c + 3cb = $10.25
- 4c+14 cb = $29.50 (4c would get canceled.)
---------------------------------
-11 cb = - $19.25 (Divide by -11 to solve for cb)
</span> --------- -------------
-11 -11
cb = $1.75
Now we know cb (candy bar) cost, we would substitute this value into cb into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which equation you put it in. I will substitute it in the first equations.
4c + 3 (1.75) = $10.25
4c + 5.25 = $10.25 (Multiply 3 by 1.75)
-5.25 -5.25 (Subtract 5.25 on both sides)
4c = 5 (Divide by 4 on both sides to get c)
---- ---
4 4
c= 1.25
Check the work:
4(1.25) + 3(1.75)
= $10.25
2(1.25) + 7(1.75)
= $14.75
Total cost:
cookies = $1.25
candy bars = $ 1.75
Hope this helps! :)
A=$20.20/10gal=$2.02 per gal
B=$26.04/12gal=$2.17 per gal
C=$28.14/14gal=$2.01 per gal
D=$30.45/15gal=$2.03 per gal
So C is the cheapest per gallon.
<h2>Answer: 250 Hamburgers sold</h2><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h2><u><em>x = hamburgers
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>y = cheeseburgers
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>x+y=434
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>66 fewer cheeseburgers than hamburgers
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em> </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>y = x - 66
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>Substitute y into the first equation
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>x + (x-66) = 434
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>2x = 434 + 66
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>2x = 500
</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>x = 250 hamburgers sold</em></u></h2>
Total number of balls = 8 + 14 = 22
P(2nd ball is purple) = 14/22 = 7/11
Answer: 7/11
