5 watermelons 6 cantaloupes cost $54. 4 watermelons and 8 cantaloupes $56. how much is a cantaloupe

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A cantaloupe costs $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Watermelons = W

Cantaloupes = C

Write given statements as equations

5W + 6C = 54

4W + 8C = 56

Simplify the second equation

4W + 8C = 56

Subtract 8C from both sides of the equation

4W = 56 - 8C

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

W = 14 - 2C

Substitute into second equation

5W + 6C = 54

5(14 - 2C) + 6C = 54

Multiply 5(14 - 2C)

70 - 10C + 6C = 54

Add -10C + 6C

70 - 4C = 54

Add 4C to both sides of the equation

70 = 54 + 4C

Subtract 54 from both sides of the equation

16 = 4C

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

C = 4

A cantaloupe costs $4

5W + 6(4) = 54

Multiply 6(4)

5W + 24 = 54

Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation

5W = 30

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

W = 6

A cantaloupe costs $4

A watermelon costs $6

Hope this helps :)

In the diagram below, the circle has a radius of 25 inches. the area of the unshaded is 500pi in^2Determine and state the degree

Dmitriy789 [7]

$72^{\circ}$

1) In this question, we are going to make use of the formula for the area of that sector, to find the central angle.

2) So, let's write it out an expression involving the area of a circle, the unshaded area, and the shaded one and then plug into that the given data:

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\alpha}{360^{\circ}}\times\pi r^2 \\ A_{Unshaded}+A_{shaded}=A_{Circle} \\ 500\pi+\frac{\alpha}{360}\times\pi r^2=\pi r^2 \\ \\ 500\pi+\frac{α}{360}\pi25^2=25^2\pi \\ \\ 500\pi+\frac{125\piα}{72}=625\pi \\ \\ 500\pi +\frac{125\pi α}{72}-500\pi =625\pi -500\pi \\ \\ \frac{125\pi α}{72}=125\pi \\ \\ \frac{72\times \:125\pi α}{72}=72\times \:125\pi \\ \\ \frac{125\pi α}{125\pi }=\frac{9000\pi }{125\pi } \\ \\ α=72^{\circ} \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Thus, the centra angle of that shaded area is 72º
