Answer:

The cost for each pound of chocolate chips is $2.75 and the cost for each pound of walnuts is $3.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+7y=51

3x+5y=27

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

9x+7y=51

-3(3x+5y)=-3(27)

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

9x+7y=51

-9x-15y=-81

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

-8y=-30

8y=30

y=30/8

simplify,

y=15/4

9x+7(15/4)=51

9x+105/4=51

9x=51-105/4

9x=(204-105)/4

9x=99/4

x=(99/4)/9

x=(99/4)(1/9)=99/36

simplify

x=2.75

So the cost for each pound of chocolate chips is $2.75 and the cost for each pound of walnuts is $3.75.

Express 1500ml as a percentage of 7.5 litres?
aniked [119]
First of all change <span>milliliters</span> to litres.

1500 ml = 1,5 l

Now, 
you know that 7,5 l = 100% (the whole amound)
and you are asking how much is: 1,5 l of the whole, so you got:

7,5 = 100%
1,5 = x%

7,5 x = 150
x = 150 / 7,5
x = 20%

Answer: 1500 ml is a 20% of the 7,5 litres.

The two-way table shows the number of people ages 20 and 50 who belong to Group A or B.
BabaBlast [244]
If what you mean by the "percent of people 50 years old belong to group A" is the percentage of 50-year old people with respect to the total number of people belonging to group A, then the answer is

32/(19+32) * 100 = 63%

But, if what you mean is the percentage of 50-year old people in group A with respect to the total number of 50-year old people, then the answer will be

32/(32+24) * 100 =  57%

If the function rule is y equals 3x - 4 what is range when the domain is 7?​
nika2105 [10]
Domain is another word for the x value. so, this question just asking us to solve for y when x = 7

first, substitute in x

y = 3(7) -4

and then solve for y

y = 21 - 4
y = 17

so, the range is 17 when the domain is 7
