<u><em>yoko pays $19.60 for a pack of 4 towels. find the unit price in dollars per towel if necessary round your answer to the nearest cent</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
We can use proportion to determine the unit price per towel
$19.60 = 4 towels
x = 1 towel
cross multiply
4x = $19.60
Divide both-side of the equation by 4
= $
( 4 on the numerator will cancel-out 4 at the denominator at the left-hand side of the equation leaving us with just x while 19.60 will be divided by 4)
Kayla buys two pairs of jeans for j dollars each and one shirt for 15 dollars. The cost of one pair of jeans is $22.5 (twenty-two dollars and fifty cents)
From the given information
Let the cost of two pairs of jeans be 2j
The cost of 1 shirt = 15
Total amount to spent = $60
∴
The equation is said to be expressed as:
2j + 15 - 60 = 0
Collect like terms
2j = 60 - 15
2j = 45
Divide both sides by 2
j = 22.5
Therefore, we can conclude that the cost of one pair of jeans is $22.5 (twenty-two dollars and fifty cents).
