You can use a system of equations to answer this question.
1st: 2.20r + 3p = 700 is showing how to get the total cost.
2nd: r + p = 300 shows how many gallons were sold.
If we solve r + p = 300 for r, we can then solve the first equation in terms of r only.
r + p =300
p = 300 - r Use this in place of p in the first equation.
2.20r + 3p = 700
2.2r + 3(300 - r) = 700
2.2r + 900 - 3r = 700
-900 -900
2.2r - 3r = -200
<u>-0.8r </u>= <u>-200</u>
-0.8 -0.8
r = 250 gallons
There were 250 regular gallons sold and 50 premium gallons sold (300 - 250).
Answer:
52: 8-Z
54: 18+X
60: 12.3
64: 2.5
52: 8 subtracted from z, the equation will only be 8-z because we do not know what z is.
54: 18 more than a number, we do not know what the number is so we will name it X, more than is adding, so the equation will look like this, 18+X
60: Since y is 6.7, all you have to do is subtract 19-6.7.
64: Since n is 7.5 just divide 7.5 from 3 and you will get 2.5.
Answer:
1,134 is not divisible by 12
It is easier to do if we get rid of the decimals, so lets multiply both numbers by 10:
5.8/1.2 = 58/12
and reduce the fraction:
= 29/6
then operate:
= 4.83
