Answer: A pear cost $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total price of four oranges and five pears is $32 then we could represent it by the equation  4x + 5y = 32   where x is cost of one orange and y is the cost of one pear.

The same way we could represent the second statement by the equation

3x + 2y = 17      

We know have the two systems of equations:

4x + 5y = 32

3x + 2y = 17         Solve using the elimination method

  Multiply the top equation by -3 and the down equation by 4 to eliminate x.

-3(4x + 5y) = -3(32) =  -12x - 15y = -96

 4(3x +2y) = 4(17)  =   12x + 8y = 68    

We now have the two new equations:

-12x -15y = -96      Add both equations

12x + 8y = 68            

      - 7y = -28

     y= 4    

Which means the cost of one pear is $4.

Leah wrote 2 different fractions with the same denominator. both fractions were less than 1. can their sum equal 1? explain
grandymaker [24]
Yes. Their sum can be equal to 1 because if they have the same denominator they will add easier like 3/4 and 1/4 or 1/2 and 1/2. All of them have the same denominator and still equal 1

A TV that usually sells for $192.74 is on sale for 25% off. If sales tax on the TV is 5%, what is the price of the TV, including
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are saving 25%, you are still paying 75%, right?  So the cost of the TV with a discount of 25% is 192.74(.75) which is $144.56

That's the cost of the TV on sale.  Now we need to find the sales tax amount, if the sales tax is .05 as a decimal.  We are paying $144.56 for the TV, which is 100% of the cost.  On top of that, we are paying another 5%.  So altogether, for the TV, we are paying 105% of the TV.  Therefore,

144.56(1.05) = $151.79
