The produce market is having a sale on grapes and oranges. A customer found the following two receipts in her cart as she was wa

lking into the store. Use the information from the receipts to write a system of linear equations that can be used to determine the price per pound of grapes and the price per pound of oranges. Then, use the system to test the following solutions to determine which solution is viable. A. Given these constraints, grapes cost $3.25 per pound, and oranges cost $1.05 per pound. B. Given these constraints, grapes cost $1.60 per pound, and oranges cost $2.15 per pound. C. Given these constraints, grapes cost $1.05 per pound, and oranges cost $3.25 per pound. D. Give these constraints, grapes cost $2.15 per pound, and oranges cost $1.60 per pound.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first receipt:

2 pounds of grapes + 4 pounds of oranges = 10.70 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

2g + 4o = 10.70

From the second receipt:

3 pounds of grapes + 2 pounds of oranges = 9.65 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

3g + 2o = 9.65

Putting those together into a system and solving using the elimination method:

2g + 4o = 10.7

3g + 2o = 9.65

I am going to eliminate the oranges first since it's easier to do that. I will multiply the second equation by -2 to get a new system:

2g + 4o = 10.7

-6g - 4o = -19.3

As you can see, the oranges are eliminated because 4o - 4o = 0o. That leaves us with only the grapes:

-4g = -8.6 so

g = 2.15

Grapes cost $2.15 per pound. Now sub that into either one of the original equations to solve for the cost per pound of oranges:

2(2.15) + 4o = 10.7 and

4.3 + 4o = 10.7 and

4o = 6.4 so

o = 1.60

Oranges cost $1.60 per pound. That is choice D from your list.

Answer:

The main answer: $4.84

Step-by-step explanation:

County A: Multiply the price by the sales tax to find out how much money the sales tax will add. Remember to convert percent to decimal!

$75 * 0.0725 = $5.4375

Add the original price and the sales tax.

$75 + $5.4375 = $80.4375

County B: Multiply the price by the sales tax to find out how much money the sales tax will add. Remember to convert percent to decimal!

$70 * 0.08 = $5.6

Add the original price and the sales tax.

$70 + $5.6 = $75.6

Then take the difference.

80.4375 – 75.6 = 4.8375

Round to the nearest hundredth: $4.84

11. Shrimp are often found in tropical climates and can be raised on farms or caught in the wild.
seropon [69]

Answer:

3/83

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability: the ways to get the desired result / all of the possible results.

To solve, plug in the values they give.

There are 6 packages of wild-caught shrimp from Honduras. (The desired result)

Now, to find all of the possible results, add the total number of packages together.

27 + 40 + 52 + 13 + 6 + 28 = 166

6/166 = 3/83

Thus, the answer is a 3/83 chance of getting a package of wild-caught shrimp came from Honduras.

jekas [21]

Answer:

The probability that the selected adult has liver problems is 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, from the data given, we want to calculate the probability that an adult selected at random has liver problems.

Let E(L) be the event that an adult has liver problems.

The probability is directly obtainable from the question and it is given as 8%

Thus, the probability that the selected adult has liver problems; P(L) = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
