Answer:

$22.50

Step-by-step explanation:

50/100 = x/45

cross multiply

50 × 45 = 100 × x

2250 = 100x

divide both sides by 100

22.5 = x

*note: marksup the price means that $45 should be more than what the value of x is. $45 is more than $22.50. you can also check your work by looking at the fact $22.50 is exactly half (50%) the amount of $45*

Solve the simultaneous equation:<br> 5 x + 2 y = 25 <br> 5 x − y = 10
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y=25\\5x-y=10

Solving by elimination here again, there are 2 good options available. Either multiply the whole bottom equation by -1 to cancel the x, or by 2 to cancel the y. I'll do the latter:

5x+2y=25\\\\2(5x-y=10)\\10x-2y=20

Add from top to bottom:

\rightarrow (5x+10x)+(2y-2y)=25+20\\\rightarrow 15x=45\\\rightarrow x=3

Now, with the value of x, solve for y in either of the equations. I'll choose the second one here:

\rightarrow 5x-y=10\\\rightarrow 5(3)-y=10\\\rightarrow 15-y=10\\\rightarrow -y=-5\\\rightarrow y=5

(x, y) = (3, 5)

vampirchik [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

Todd fills 30 paper cups with ketchup and Yuki fills 27 paper cups with ketchup.

Each paper cup holds 1 ounce

Todd = 30 * 1 = 30 ounces

Yuki = 27 * 1 = 27 ounces

Total ounces = 30 + 27

Later, Todd and Yuki learn that two other company employees completed exactly the same task.

Total ounces = 2 (30 + 27)

MrRa [10]
<span>the answer to 1.47 divided by 3.5 is 0.42. When you use different power of 10 to multiply the dividend and the divisor, the answer changes to different multiples of 0.42 in terms of 10. The answer could be 0.042 or 4.2 etc depending on the power of 10 used to multiply the dividend and divisor.</span>
