to find the average you need to multiply depending on the sittuation
29 = 4 + .75b
subtract 4
25 = .75b
divide .75
b = 33.3333333
b = 33 braids
Answer:
Snickerdoodles are 0.22$ each and chocolate chip are 0.43$ each
Step-by-step explanation:
using the information in the problem, you can make 2 separate equations: 8x+12y=6.92 and 5x+5y=3.25, let x= the cost of a snickerdoodle and y= the cost of a chocolate chip cookie.
With the 2 equations, we can isolate the y variable of the first equation and simplify which will give us y= -2/3x +6.92/12.
You can now take that equation and plug it into equation number 2:
5x+5(-2/3x + 6.92/12)=3.25.
solve that equation by multiplying 5 through the brackets: 5x-10/3x+34.6/12=3.25
add common terms: 5/3x=4.4/12
find the value of x, you will get x=0.22
plug the value of x (0.22) into one of your equations and solve for the y-value
