Cost of the burger is $1.25 and the fries is $4.55

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the cost of a burger be x and that of fries be y. Form equations out of the given data.

x + 5y = 24 ------ (1)

6x + 2y = 16.60 ------ (2)

  • Step 2: Multiply eq(1) by 6 to make the coefficients of x equal.

6x + 30y = 144

6x + 2y = 16.60

  • Step 3: Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)

28y = 127.40

y = $4.55

  • Step 4: Find x.

x + 5 × 4.55 = 24

x + 22.75 = 24

x = $1.25

Answer: each burger costs $1.25

Each fry costs 4.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one burger.

Let y represent the cost of one fry.

The tennis coach took his team out for lunch and bought a burger and five fries for $24. This means that

x + 5y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The players were still hungry so the coach bought 6 more burgers and two more fries for $16.60. This means that

6x + 2y = 16.6 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

6x + 30y = 144

6x + 2y = 16.6

Subtracting, it becomes

28y = 127.4

y = 127.4/28

y = 4.55

Substituting y = 4.55 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 5 × 4.55 = 24

x + 22.75 = 24

x = 24 - 22.75

x = 1.25

Is the relationship between the number of text in time a proportional relationship?
german
Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional.

Write the expression as a single term.<br> 3ln(x+2) - ln(x - 1)
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

ln  [(x + 2)^3 ]/(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3ln(x+2) - ln(x - 1) =  ln (x + 2)^3  -  ln (x-1)

ln (x + 2)^3  -  ln (x-1) =  ln  [(x + 2)^3 ]/(x-1)

1. Three friends pooled their money to purchase a new game system that costs $298. One person
iragen [17]

Answer:

First person: $107

Second person: $98

Third person: $93

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "f" the amount of money (in dollars) that the first person contributed to the purchase, "s" the amount of money (in dollars) that the second person contributed to the purchase and "t" the amount of money (in dollars) that the third person contributed to the purchase.

With the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following equations:

Equation 1 → f+s+t=298

Equation 2 → s=f-9

Equation 3 → t=f-14

Substitute the Equations 2 and 3 into the Equation 1 and then solve for "f":

f+(f-9)+(f-14)=298\\\\3f-23=298\\\\f=\frac{321}{3}\\\\f=107

Finally, substitute the value of "f" into the Equation 2 and then into the Equation 3, in order to find the values of "s" and "t".

Therefore, you get:

s=107-9\\\\s=98\\\\\\t=107-14\\\\t=93
