To solve this problem, we can set two equations.

Let x be the cost of coffee and y be the cost of latte.

Two coffees and one latte: 2x + y = 10.50

y=10.50 - 2x ...(1)

Three coffees and two lattes: 3x + 2y = 17.00...(2)

Put (1) into (2), we have:

3x + 2(10.50-2x) = 17.00

3x + 2(10.50) - 2(2x) = 17.00

3x + 21 - 4x = 17

Put the unknown to one side:

3x -4x = 17 - 21

-x = -4

When there are negative numbers on both sides, we can take the negative signs away:

x= 4

Therefore, cost of one coffee is A. $4.00.

Hope ot helps!

Calculate the mean given the frequency table
ratelena [41]

Answer:

15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the midpoint of each class by its frequency, as follows:

            Class      midpoint   frequency   midpoint*frequency  

            0-9         4.5             24                4.5*24 = 108

            10-19      14.5            20                14.5*20 = 290

            20-29    24.5           32                24.5*32 = 784

Total                                      76               1182

The mean is computed as the division between the addition of the "midpoint*frequency" column by the addition of "frequency" column.

mean = 1182/76 ≈ 15.6

Carly and janiya put some money into their money boxes every week. the amounts of money (y), in dollars, in their money boxes af
Lelu [443]
Carly : y = 60x + 40
janiya : y = 50x + 80

60x + 40 = 50x + 80
60x - 50x = 80 - 40
10x = 40
x = 40/10
x = 4 <=== so at 4 weeks, they will have the same amount of money <==
The money they have is : y = 60(4) + 40.....y = $ 280 <=

so ur answer is : 4 weeks, $ 280
