Jackson bought 3*16 = 48 ounces for 975 cents. The unit price in cents per ounce is ...
975 cents/(48 oz) = 20.3125 cents/oz
Answer:ibbhbh
Step-by-step explanation:
iiii
X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie
NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60
LISA
11x + 4y= $90
STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11
-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms
(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)
-11x - 99y= -660
STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)
-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"
-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95
y= $6 per pumpkin pie
STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x
x + 9y= $60
x + 9(6)= 60
x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides
x= $6 per cherry pie
CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90
ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.
Hope this helps! :)
You can set up an equation based off of the information given:
x represents the unknown number
3/5x - 1 = 23
add 1 to both sides to isolate the 3/5x
3/5x = 24
divide both sides by 3/5 to solve for x
x = 120/3
120/3 can be simplified into 40
Final answer: x = 40
z + 93 = 180
z = 87
Answer z = 87
Here are the answer for x and y, in case you need them.
x = 2* 93 - 112
x = 186 - 112
x = 74
y = 2 * 80 - x
y = 160 - 74
y = 86
