Answer:

cost of a bag of hot Cheetos = 0.75 and cost of a pack of sour patch kids = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a bag of hot cheetos be c

Let the cost of a pack of sour patch kids be k

Thus, for Jasmine, the equation will be;

3c + 2k = 5.25 - - - - (eq1)

For Michael, the equation will be;

7c + 3k = 9.75 - - - - - (eq2)

We will use method of elimination to solve this.

Multiply (eq 1) by 3 and (eq 2) by 2 to give;

9c + 6k = 15.75 - - (eq4)

14c + 6k = 19.5 - - -(eq5)

Subtract (eq4) from (eq 5) to get;

5c = 19.5 - 15.75

5c = 3.75

c = 3.75/5

c = 0.75

Put 0.75 for c in (eq 4) to get;

9(0.75) + 6k = 15.75

6.75 + 6k = 15.75

6k = 15.75 - 6.75

6k = 9

k = 9/6

k = 1.5

Thus; cost of a bag of hot Cheetos = 0.75 and cost of a pack of sour patch kids = 1.5

PLEASE HELP!!!! The problem is in the photo below.

Answer:

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the x would represent the gallons per minute. The minutes are unknown, so it's just a variable. It can't be B either, because the addition sign would mean that the pool is being filled instead of drained.

if there are 300 calories in 100 g of a certain food, how many calories are there in a 30 g portion of food​
kap26 [50]

Answer:

90 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Calories : quantity of food

there are 300 calories in 100 g of a certain food

300 calories : 100 g food

how many calories are there in a 30 g portion of food​

Let x = number of calories

x calories : 30 g food

Equate both ratios

300 calories : 100 g food = x calories : 30 g food

300/100 = x/30

300 * 30 = 100 * x

9000 = 100x

x = 9000/100

x = 90

x = number of calories = 90 calories
