Total money Marcus has = $28

Money spent to buy a notebook = $3.75

Money left now = 28-3.75=24.25

Money needed to be saved = $11.25

So, the amount of money Marcus can spend = 24.25-11.25=13

Cost of a packet of chips = $1.30

The inequality to determine the maximum number of chips he can buy is:

Let the number of chips Marcus can buy = x

As he cannot spend more than $13 to buy chips so equation becomes:

1.30x\leq 13

Solving this we get

x\leq 10

Hence, Marcus can buy a maximum of 10 packs of chips and  save $11.25

I need help! This pattern repeats every 4 terms. The pattern is square, hexagon, trapezoid, triangle. What is the shape in the 7
alina1380 [7]
<h3>Answer:  Trapezoid</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

There are two ways to do this problem.

Method 1 involves listing out the terms until we reach the seventh one.

  1. square
  2. hexagon
  3. trapezoid
  4. triangle
  5. square
  6. hexagon
  7. trapezoid
  8. triangle

We see that the trapezoid is term 7.

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

Method 2 is faster and the one I recommend.

Since the pattern repeats every 4 items, this means we divide by 4 and look at the remainder. Ignore the quotient entirely.

7/4 = 1 remainder 3

The remainder 3 means that the answer is found in term 3, which is the trapezoid.

1. Enrico sold a 10-pound box of assorted chocolates. Some of the chocolates in the box sold
N76 [4]

This shows that about 7 and 3 pounds of each chocolate were included in the mixture.

Let the number of pounds of both chocolates be x and y.

If Enrico sold a 10-pound box of assorted chocolates, hence;

x + y = 10 ................. 1

If some of the chocolates in the box sold  for $1.75 per pound and some sold for $2.00 per pound with mixture sold for $1.90 per pound, then:

1.75x + 2x = 1.90 ................ 2

Solve equations 1 and 2 simultaneously.

x + y = 10 ................. 1 * 20

17.5x + 20x = 19 ................ 2 * 1

____________________________

20x + 20y = 200

17.5x + 20x = 19

Subtract

20x - 17.5x = 200 - 19

2.5x = 181x = 7.24

Substitute 7.24 into 1

x  + y = 10

y = 10 - 7.24

x = 2.76

This shows that about 7 and 3 pounds of each chocolate were included in the mixture.

FOR THE LOVE OF GIMBALOOSHI!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Explain how you found the answers!
artcher [175]
(a)
So here's the information we know:
Tanya bought 3 items
Tony bought 4 items
Tony's items were all 2.50 less than Tanya's

So, our equation should look like this:
3x = 4(x - 2.25)

(b)
3x = 4(x - 2.25)
3x = 4x - 9
-x = -9
x = 9

Tanya spent = 9 (x)
Tony spent = 6.75 (x - 2.25)

(c)
3(9) = 4((9) - 2.25)
27 = 36 - 9
27 = 27

or

Tanya: 3x = 3 (9) = 27
Tony: 4( x - 2.25) = 4(9-2.25) = 4(6.75) = 27

(d)
We can conclude that Tanya bought 3 items with a cost of $9 each, and Tony bought 4 items with a cost of $6.75 each. Both Tanya and Tony spent a total of $27.
