bags of popcorn and 4 drinks. Christopher spends a total of $66.25 on 12 bags of popcorn and 7 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

The system of equations is :

6 p + 4 d = 34

12 p + 7 d = 66.25

The price of a drink is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the price of one bag of popcorn is $p and the price of a drink is $d

∵ Samuel spends a total of $34 on 6 bags of popcorn and

   4 drinks

- Multiply p by 6 and d by 4, then add the products and equate

    the sum by 34

∴ 6 p + 4 d = 34 ⇒ (1)

∵ Christopher spends a total of $66.25 on 12 bags of popcorn

    and 7 drinks

- Multiply p by 12 and d by 7, then add the products and equate

    the sum by 66.25

∴ 12 p + 7 d = 66.25 ⇒ (2)

The system of equations is :

6 p + 4 d = 34

12 p + 7 d = 66.25

Now let us solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -2 to make the coefficients of p in the two equations equal in values and opposite in signs to eliminate it

∵ -12 p - 8 d = - 68 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ - d = - 1.75

- Divide both sides by -1

∴ d = 1.75

The price of a drink is $1.75

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 coins are 0.25 = 50 cents. That leaves 92-50 = 42 cents and 5 coins to go.

The only way to get 2 cents is to have 2 pennies. That leaves 40 cents and 3 coins to go.

The only way to get 40 cents with 3 coins is 1 quarter, 1 dime, and 1 nickel.

So you have 3 quarters = 75 cents.

2 pennies = 2 cents.

1 dime = 10 cents.

1 nickel = 5 cents.

92 cents total and 7 coins.The only way to get 40 cents

\frac{( {j}^{4} \:  \times  \:  {j}^{8}) ^{3}  }{( {j}^{9} \:  \div  \:  {j}^{2}) ^{2}   }

  • First we calculate the product of the denominator.

\frac{( {j}^{12}) ^{3}  }{( {j}^{9} \:  \div  \:  {j}^{2}) ^{2}   }

  • Then we calculate the quotient of the numerator.

\frac{( {j}^{12}) ^{3}  }{( {j}^{7}) ^{2}   }

  • We multiply the exponents of the expression.

\frac{ {j}^{36} }{ {j}^{14} }

  • We divide.

\boxed{ \bold{ {j}^{22} }}
