<h3><u><em>My friends the answer is:</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>If 1 lunch =$2.50
</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>
2 lunches = $5.00 (2.50x2)
</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>
3 lunches =$7.50
</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>
4 lunches =$10.00
</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>
5 lunches= $12.50

We are given area of the ribbon = 144 square inches.
We know formula for side of a square = 
.
Plugging value of area in the formula, we get
Side of the square 
= 12 inches.
Sonya wants to sew ribbon along each side of a square pillow.
So, we need to find the perimeter of the square pillow.
<h3>Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 12 = 48 inches.</h3><h3>Therefore, she buy 48 inches of ribbon to have the exact amount that she needs.</h3>
Initial, x = 0, b = 50000
day 1, x = 1, b = 50000 (1.05)^-1
day 2, x = 2, b = 50000 (1.05) =^-2
day 2 / day 1 = 1.05^-2 / 1.05^-1 = 1.05^-1 = 0.952
Which means that the number of bacteria decreased 4.8%
You need 16 tablespoons for 1 cup and 8 tablespoons for a half cup. Therefore you need to have 24 tablespoons of butter to make cake.
I am going to do this problem with more of an algebraic approach weather or not its the way your teacher wants you to do it like this.
The way to do things algebraically is to just set variables for what you want to find and set up equations to represent each sentence.
As seen there are hamburgers and chickens in this problem. So let's set the numbers of hamburgers to x, and the numbers of chickens to y.
Now write out each sentence using variables.
1.) Tia sold 78 hamburgers and chicken tenders.
x+y=78
2.) If she sold 24 more hamburgers than chicken tenders.
x=y+24
Now that we have the 2 equations, its time to solve.
Since we have x=y+24, we can replace the x in the first equation with the second equation
y+24+y=78
2y+24=78
Now we can subtract 24 from both sides.
2y=54
Simplify
y=27
Solve for x
x=27+24=51
Done!
