The answer is
carrots - 0.8 pounds
crackers - 1.5 pounds
x - the weight of carrots
y - the weight of crackers
<span>The total weight was 2.3 pounds: x + y = 2.3
</span>
Carrots sell for $2.10 per pound: 2.10x
<span>Crackers sell for $2.90 per pound: 2.90y
</span><span>The total cost was $6.03: 2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03
</span>x + y = 2.3
2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03
_________
x = 2.3 - y
2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03
_________
2.10(2.3 - y) + 2.90y = 6.03
4.83 - 2.10y + 2.90y = 6.03
4.83 + 0.80y = 6.03
0.80y = 6.03 - 4.83
0.80y = 1.20
y = 1.20y : 0.80
y = 1.5 pounds
x = 2.3 - y = 2.3 - 1.5
x = 0.8 pounds
Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up the equation 0.50X = 0.750
Divide by 0.5 and we get .75/.5=1.5
Answer:
-9 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-9 x 2
He had $5,000,000 in CD sales; $3,300,000 in video sales; and he earned $1,245,000 in royalties.
1,000,000 CDs * $5 each = $5,000,000
550,000 videos * $6 each = $3,300,000
Total sales = 5,000,000+3,300,000 = 8,300,000
15% royalties = 0.15(8,300,000) = 1,245,000
