This is gonna be a long answer but it will help...

Answer:

Cost price of the burger = $4.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

3 burgers were ordered

3 medium fries were ordered

Total order cost 17.55

Let the price of the burger be X

Let the price of the medium fries be Y

Equation for the total sale will be 3X + 3Y = 17.55 (equation 1)

from this statement 'The price of a burger is .75 more than two times the price of medium fries.'

X - 2Y = 0.75 (equation 2)

There are now two equations and two unknowns, a simultaneous equation is solved to find the cost of the  burger.

Many methods can be used to solve these equations but in this case substitution will be used

From equation 2

X = 0.75 + 2Y (equation 3)

Substituting equation 3 into equation 1

3(0.75 + 2Y) + 3Y = 17.55

2.25 + 6Y + 3Y = 17.55

6Y + 3Y = 17.55-2.25

9Y = 15.3

Y = 1.7

Substituting Y into equation 3

X = 0.75 + 2Y

X = 0.75 + 2(1.7)

X = 0.75 + 3.4

X = 4.15

Therefore the cost price of the burger is $4.15

2m+.75=1 burger cost

m= 1 medium fry

2m+.75+2m+.75+2m+.75+m+m+m=17.55

9m+2.25=17.55

      -2.25 -2.25

9m=15.30

/9     /9

m=1.70

1.70*2=3.40

3.40+.75=4.15

1 burger costs $4.15

What is the total area of the prism?
Pavlova-9 [17]
First we look for the area of the triangle which is given by:
 A = (1/2) * (4) * (6)
 A = 12 feet ^ 2
 Area of the rectangles:
 Rectangle 1:
 R1 = (4) * (8)
 R1 = 32 feet ^ 2
 Rectangle 2:
 R2 = (6) * (8)
 R2 = 48 feet ^ 2
 Rectangle 3:
 R3 = (root (6 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2)) * (8))
 R3 = 57,68882041 feet ^ 2
 The total area will be:
 A = 2A + R1 + R2 + R3
 Substituting values:
 A = 2 * (12) + 32 + 48 + 57,68882041
 A = 161.6888204 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The total area of the prism is:
 
A = 161.6888204 feet ^ 2

What is the value of x?<br><br>A. 155°<br>B. 60°<br>C. 35<br>D. 25°​
Harman [31]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you should see that the bottom right corner is an angle on the other side. So subtract 180 from 95 to get 85. Since all angles in a triangle add up to 180, You do 85 + 60 + x = 180. You simplify further to get 145 + x = 180.

Subtracting 145 from both sides leaves you with x = 35, which gives you C.

So C is the correct answer.
