Answer:

<em>The best buy by unit price is the 16-oz can whose unit price is $0.07/oz.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem speaks of three sizes of cans, 12 oz, 16 oz, and 24 oz.

The prices of the three sizes of the cans are unknown. We are looking for the best unit cost, or dollars per oz.

Let x = unit cost of the 12-oz can.

Let y = unit cost of the 16-oz can.

Let z = unit cost of the 24-oz can.

The cost of the 12-oz can is 12x.

The cost of the 16-oz can is 16y.

The cost of the 24-oz can is 24z.

The 12-oz can costs $0.16 less than the 16-oz can.

12x = 16y - 0.16

The 16-oz can costs $0.68 less than the 24-oz can.

16y = 24z - 0.68

The unit price of the 24-oz can is $0.005 less than the unit price of the 12-oz can.

z = x - 0.005

There are three equations written in bold above. The form a system of equations in three unknowns. Each unknown is a unit price.

Replace z of the second equation with the third equation.

16y = 24(x - 0.005) - 0.68

16y = 24x - 0.12 - 0.68

16y = 24x - 0.8

Subtract 16y from both sides and add 0.8 to both sides. Then switch sides. You get

24x - 16y = 0.8    (Eq. 1)

Now take the original first equation in bold above. Subtract 12x from both sides. Add 0.16 to both sides. Switch sides. You get.

-12x + 16y = 0.16  (Eq. 2)

Add Eq. 1 and Eq. 2 to eliminate y.

12x = 0.96

x = 0.08

The unit price of the 12-oz can is $0.08/oz.

A 12-oz can costs 12x = $0.96.

12x = 16y - 0.16

0.96 = 16y - 0.16

1.12 = 16y

y = 1.12/16 = 0.07

The unit price of the 16-oz can is $0.07/oz.

z = x - 0.005

z = 0.08 - 0.005

z = 0.075

The unit price of the 24-oz can is $0.075/oz.

The unit prices of the 12-oz, 16-oz, and 24-oz cans are $0.08/oz, $0.07/oz, and $0.075/oz, respectively.

The best buy by unit price is the 16-oz can whose unit price is $0.07/oz.

Two planes are 2725 miles apart and are traveling toward each other one plane is traveling 110 mph faster than the other plane T
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

therefore x  = 600 mph

therefore the speed of the other plane  y = x - 110 = 600 - 110 = 490 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Two planes are 2725 miles apart and are travelling towards each other.

ii) One plane is travelling 110 mph faster than the other plane.

iii) the planes pass each other in 2.5 hours

iv) let the speed of one plane be x mph

v) let the speed of another plane be y mph

vi) therefore x  - y = 110 mph

vii) and also x + y = 2725/2.5 = 1090

viii) adding the equation in vi) to the equation in vii) we get 2x  = 1200

    therefore x  = 600 mph

ix) therefore the speed of the other plane  y = x - 110 = 600 - 110 = 490 mph

(Will dive brainly!! please!!)
Sergio [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A) $157,555

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of assets is ...

  house + 2 cars = $280,000 +5,200 +15,600 = $300,800

The sum of liabilities is ...

  mortgage +car loan +credit card +wedding

  = $113,545 +9,200 +2,300 +18,200 = $143,245

The family's net worth is the difference between assets and liabilities:

  $300,800 -143,245 = $157,555
