Answer:

Donuts cost $2.00 and Cookies cost $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

D = cost of a donut

C = cost of a cookie

4D + 10C = $23.00

8D + 6C = $25.00

Eliminate a variable when subtracting the two equations.  Change both values with C to 60 in order to eliminate the C variable and solve for D.

80D + 60C = $250.00 subtracted from 24D + 60C = $138

56D = $112.00  (Divide by 56 to single out the variable)

56D/56 = $112.00/56

D = $2.00

Use the D value to solve for C.

4(2) + 10C = $23.00

8 + 10C = $23.00

8 - 8 + 10C = $23.00 - 8

10C = $15.00

10C/10 = $15/10

C = $1.50

Check:

Bentley:  

4D + 10C = $23

4(2) + 10(1.50) = $23

8 + 15 = $23

23 = 23

Skylar:

8D + 6C = $25

8(2) + 6(1.50) = $25

16 + 9 = $25

25 = 25

Answer:

Each donut costs $2 and each cookie costs $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let´s name the variables as the following:

x = price of one donut

y = price of one cookie

2. Write in an equation form which Bentley bought:

4x+10y=23 (Eq.1)

3. Write in an equation form which Skylar bought:

8x+6y=25 (Eq.2)

4. Solve for x in Eq.1:

4x+10y=23

4x=23-10y

x=\frac{23-10y}{4} (Eq.3)

5. Replace Eq.3 in Eq.2 and solve for y:

8*(\frac{23-10y}{4})+6y=25

\frac{184-80y}{4}+6y=25

\frac{184-80y+24y}{4}=25

184-80y+24y=100

-80y+24y=100-184

-56y=-84

y=\frac{84}{56}

y=1.5

6. Replacing the value of y in Eq.3:

x=\frac{23-10*(1.5)}{4}

x=\frac{23-10*(1.5)}{4}

x=\frac{23-15}{4}

x=\frac{8}{4}

x=2

Therefore each donut costs $2 and each cookie costs $1.5

How does the graph of f(x)=3lx+2l+4 relate to its parent function?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\\\

\begin{array}{rllll} 
% left side templates
f(x)=&{{  A}}({{  B}}x+{{  C}})+{{  D}}

\end{array}


A=3, B=1,  shrunk by AB or 3 units, about 1/3
C=2,          horizontal shift by C/B or 2/1 or just 2, to the left
D=4,          vertical shift upwards of 4 units
