Question:
The cost of 12 kg sugar is $240 what will be the cost of 3 kg sugar.
Given:
- Cost of 12 kg sugar = $240
To find?
Answer :
<u>To find </u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>3kg sugar first we have to find cost of 1 kg sugar</u><u>.</u>
- Cost of 1 kg sugar = Cost of total no. of sugar ÷Total sugar
- Cost of 1 kg sugar = $240/12
- Cost of 1 kg sugar = $20
<u>Now Let's find cost of 3 kg sugar</u>
Cost of 3kg sugar = total no of sugar ×Cost of 1 kg sugar
Cost of 3kg sugar = 3×$20
Cost of 3kg sugar = $60
Step-by-step explanation:
A sandwich store charges a delivery fee to bring lunch to an office.
Delivery cost - D
Meatball sandwich cost - M
One office pays $40.50 for 5 meatball sandwiches.
40.50 = 5M + D
Another office pays $66.50 for 9 meat ball sandwiches
66.50 = 9M + D
A. How much does each meatball sandwich add to the cost of delivery?
D = 40.50 - 5M = 66.50 - 9M
40.50 - 5M = 66.50 - 9M
9M - 5M = 66.50 - 40.50
4M = 26.00
M = 6.50
B. What is the delivery fee
D = 40.50 - 5M = 40.50 - 5(6.50) = 40.50 - 32.50 = 8.00
Check
66.50 = 9M + D = 9(6.50) + 8 = 58.50 + 8.00 = 66.50
This system has no solution.
x = -7y + 24 can be rewritten as x = 24 - 7y
to simplify x + 7y = 32, we have to subtract 7y from both sides
x = 32 - 7y
Now, our system is as follows:
x = 24 - 7y
x = 32 - 7y
