Answer:
- drinks: $0.55
- pizza slices: $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the cost of a drink, and p represent the cost of a pizza slice. Then the two purchases can be represented by ...
- 4d +6p = 6.70
- 3d +4p = 4.65
To solve these equations by elimination, choose a variable to eliminate and look at the coefficients of that in the two equations. If we choose to eliminate p, we see the coefficients of p are 6 and 4. The least common multiple of these numbers is 12. We can multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by +3 and the resulting coefficients of p will be -12 and +12. Adding the results of these multiplications will make the p terms add to zero.
-2(4d +6p) +3(3d +4p) = -2(6.70) +3(4.65)
-8d -12p +9d +12p = -13.40 +13.95 . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
d = 0.55 . . . . . . . . . collect terms
Now, we can substitute this value into either equation to find the value of p. Using the first equation, we get ...
4(0.55) +6p = 6.70
6p = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.20
p = 0.75 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
The cost of a drink is $0.55; the cost of a slice of pizza is $0.75.

There are 18 tens in 180 because if you divide 180 divided by 10, you get 18. you can also do it in your head!!!
Hope this helps!!!

<span>One pint of blueberries contains about 80 berries. Lee's fruit salad recipe calls for 20 blueberries per serving. She has all of the other fruit necessary for the salad, but only 1 quart of blueberries. How many servings of the fruit salad can Lee prepare?
