Call T the price of the T-shirts and P de price of the jeans
Initially (without discount)
2T + P = 40
One month later (half prices)
2 (T/2) + 5(P/2) = 60
T +5P/2 = 60
To solve the system of equations multiply the second equation by 2 and substract it from the first equation
2 T + 5P = 120
- (2 T + P = 40 )
________________
4P = 80
P = 80/4
P = 20
From 2T + P = 40
T = (40 - P) / 2 = (40 -20) / 2 = 20/2 = 10.
The price of a T-shirt is $10 and the price of a pair of jeans is $20.
The answer would be B. b = 8 * 4. If Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in an hour and the question wants to know how many bushels could be picked in 8 hours, its basically asking how many bushels are in 8 groups of 4.
A should be the correct answer. Let me know if I’m right!
Hi! to solve the question, how many necklaces did anne make in 16 hours if she makes 10 items in 2 standard 8-hour work days, we should first check the time she needs to make each item.
3 individual hours to make a necklace, and 1 hour to make a ring. according to the problem, she made 10 items in 16 hours. this problem will most likely be trial and error. let’s try one first guess.
my first guess will be, maybe she will make 6 rings and 4 necklaces. 6 times 1 is 6, which takes 6 hours for the rings. 4 times 3 is equal to 12. 6 + 12 is too high! let’s try again.
what about 6 rings and 2 necklaces? 6 times 1 is 6, so that’s 6 hours. 2 times 3 is 6 hours! 6 plus 6 is 12, which is close, but not quite there!
let’s try 7 rings and 3 necklaces! 7 times 1 is 7 hours. 3 times 3 is equal to 9 hours! total that together, 7 plus 9, is equal to 16 hours spent!
so, the answer would be, “Anne made 7 rings and 3 necklaces within 16 hours.” hope this helped!:)
You have to find the GCF of 140 and 180.
The GCF is 20 so thats your answer.
