The correct answer for the given problem above would be option B. Fran must work 17 hours per week to meet her goal. Why? According to the given details above, Fran works 15 hours per week for $225 which makes it $15 per hour. If she adds another 2 hours per week to make it 17 hours, then she will earn $255 dollars per week. Now, since she is saving $40 dollars plus the two hours which is $30, a total of $70 per week of savings, multiplied by 20 weeks, then, she will be able to get $1,400.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one white chocolate pretzel.
Let y represent the cost of one dark chocolate pretzel.
Rico bought 4 white chocolate pretzels and 6 dark chocolate pretzels for $10.50. This means that
4x + 6y = 10.5 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Holden bought 8 white chocolate and 3 dark chocolate pretzels for $9.75. This means that
8x + 3y = 9.75 - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes
32x + 48y = 84
32x + 12y = 39
Subtracting, it becomes
36y = 45
y = 45/36 = $1.25
Substituting y = 1.25 into equation 1, it becomes
4x + 6 × 1.25 = 10.5
4x + 7.5 = 10.5
4x = 10.5 - 7.5 = 3
x = 3/4 = $0.75
the total cost for 6 white chocolate pretzels and one dark chocolate pretzel would be
6 × 0.75 + 1 × 1.25 = 4.5 + 1.25 = $5.75
4 1/4 is greater than 4 3/11
