To find a number in between you could multiply 39/130 by 2/2
and 40/130 by 2/2 to get
78/260 and 80/260
Answer:
Each hot dog = $3
Each french fry = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets define our variables:
x = Hotdog
y = fries
Next, you need to set up a cost equation for both Toby and Bernie:
8x + 5y = 34
2x + 6y = 18
Now, we need to isolate one of the variable:
2x + 6y = 18
2x = 18 - 6y
x = 9 - 3y
Next, we need to insert this equation back into the first equation (8x+5y = 34) to find the cost of y (fries):
8x +5y = 34
8 (9-3y) + 5y = 34
72 - 24y + 5y = 34
72 - 19y = 34
19y = 38
y or fries = $2
Finally, we need to find the cost of each hotdog by using the cost of fries ($2) in one of the formulas:
2x + 6y = 18
2x + 6(2) = 18
2x + 12 = 18
2x = 6
x or hotdog = $3
I hope this helps!

Hello! So for this question, all you have to do is add the numbers up to get the total cost. Groceries were $102.34 and the new shoes were $53.36. 102.34 + 53.36 = 155.7. Lorena spent $155.70 total.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children, then
number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c
Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266
4c + 2c + c = 266, that is
7c = 266 ( divide both sides by 7 )
c = 38
Thus
4 × 38 = 152 and 2 × 38 = 76
The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women
