Answer:

Peanuts cost $2 a bag

Almonds cost $2.50 a bag

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, write a system of equations using the information given.

  • "a small case contains 10 bags of almonds and 25 bags of peanuts for $75" translates to 10a+25p=75
  • "a large case comtains 40 bags of almonds and 60 bags of peanuts for $220" translates to 40a+60p=220

Solve by stacking the equations and performing elimination. To eliminate a variable, the coefficients must be the same. To make this so, we will multiply 10a+25p=75 by 4 to become 40a+100p=300. Now stack the equations and subtract:

40a+100p=300

40a+60p=220

----------------------------

0a + 40p=80

p=2 means peanuts cost $2 a bag.

Substitute p=2 into one equation to find a.

10a+25(2)=75

10a+50=75

10a=25

a=2.5 means almonds cost $2.50 a bag.

sergij07 [2.7K]
She earned 661.50 dollars. If she worked 7.5 hrs each day Mon-Wed, she worked 22.5 hrs from Mon-Wed because 7.5 times 3 is 22.5. She also worked 6 hrs on Sat. and 5.25 hrs on Sun., so in total, she worked 33.75 hrs last week. To find out her pay, we have to multiply the total hrs by the amount she gets payed, 19.60. 33.75x19.60 is 661.50, the amount she got payed last week.

X + 2(y-6) = 0
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
2x - z = 4
6x - 5z = 18
3z - 2w = -18
If u want me to solve them it’s
1. X = -2y + 12
2. x = 10 - 4/3y | for y, y = 15/2 - 3/4x
3. x = 2+ 1/2z | for z , z = -4 + 2x
4. x = 3 + 5/6z | for z , z = - 18/5 + 6/5x
5. W = -3/2x + 13/2 | for x , x = -2/3w + 13/3
6. x = -5w + 13 | w = -1/5x + 13/5
