Coach Jamison wants to celebrate the final win of the school's baseball season with a trip to the local fast food place. The tea

m buys 28 delicious tacos and 27 orders of savory nachos for $114.80. A few of the players are still hungry, so the coach buys 12 more tacos and 3 more orders of nachos for $37.20. If you don't consider tax, what is the price of a taco and the price of an order of nachos ?

So we have 2 variables here: tacos and orders of nachos.

When we translate the paragraphs into equation: 28t + 27n = 114.80 \\ \\ 12t + 3n = 37.20

Now, in this situation we can make use the elimination method by converting 3n to -27n.

- 108t - 27n = - 334.8

Add both equations: 28t + 27n - 108t - 27n = 114.8 - 334.8 \\ \\ - 80t = - 220 \\ \\ t = 2.75

So we find that one taco costs $2.75.

We can plug this into any of the first two equations to find n: 12 \times 2.75 + 3n = 37.2 \\ \\ 33 + 3n = 37.2 \\ \\ 3n = 4.2 \\ \\ n = 1.4

So one order of nachos cost $1.40.

Consider the arithmetic sequence 13, 24, 35, ....
Nostrana [21]

Answer:  27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence : 13, 24, 35, ....

Here, first term : a= 13

Common difference: d=24-13 =11

The nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by :-

a_n=a+(n-1)d

It is given that the nth term is 299, so put a_n=299, a=13 ; d=11

299=13+(n-1)11

Subtract 13 from both sides , we get

286=(n-1)11

Divide both sides by 11, we get

26=n-1

Add 1 on both sides , we get

n=27

Hence, the value of n= 27
