Let us take costs of a piece of toast = $t, , one bagel cost=$b and a muffin cost=$m.

Larry

Two pieces of toast and a bagel cost  = $1.30

2t+b=1.30   -------------equation(1)

Let us solve the equation(1) for t in terms of b, because we need to find one bagel cost.

Subtracting b from both sides we get

2t+b-b=1.30-b

2t= 1.30-b

Dividing by 2 on both sides.

2t/2= (1.30-b)/2

t= (1.30-b)/2

Curly

A bagel and a muffin cost = $2.50.

b + m = 2.50 -------------equation(2)

Solving equation for m in terms of b, we get

m= 2.50-b.

Moe

A piece of toast, two bagels, and three muffins cost = $6.95

t + 2b + 3m = 6.95    ......................equation(3).

Substituting t= (1.30-b)/2 and m= 2.50-b in equation (3)

(1.30-b)/2 + 2b + 3(2.50-b) = 6.95 .

Multiplying each term by 2 to get rid 2 from denominator of (1.30-b).

2*(1.30-b)/2 + 2*2b + 2*3(2.50-b) = 2*6.95

1.30-b + 4b + 6(2.50-b) = 13.90.

1.30 - b + 4b  +15 - 6b = 13.90

Combining like terms

-3b +16.30 = 13.90

Subtracting 16.30 from both sides.

-3b +16.30-16.30 = 13.90-16.30.

-3b= -2.4

Dividing both sides by -3.

-3b/-3 = -2.4/-3

b = 0.8

Therefore, cost of one bagel = $0.80.

What is the value of y in this system of equations?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

-21

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x + 2y = -18.........(i)

-3x - 2y = 54...........(ii)

add equ.(ii) to equ. (i)

(-6x + [-3x]) + (2y + [-2y]) = -18 + 54

-9x = 36

x = -4

sub x= -4 into equ (i)

-6(-4) +2y = -18

24 + 2y = -18

24 +18 = -2y

42 = -2y

y = -21

when full the gas tank of a car holds 15 gallons. it now contains 12 gallons. what percent represents how full the tank is?
Masteriza [31]

Hello!

to find the percent of a whole, use this equation here:

(remaining) / (total) = X

X * 100 = %

in this case:

12 / 15 = 0.8

0.8 * 100 = 80

your answer is 80%

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

%change=100(260-150)/150

%change=220/3%. (roughly 73.33%)

260(1+220/300)

260(520/300)
