The answer is the third option.

The explanation is shown below:

1. You must keep on mind the information given in the exercise:

- She bough 3 pounds of coffee.

- She bought 2 pounds of chocolate.

- She spent a total of $24.

2. Therefore, you can call the price per pound of coffee x and the price per pound of chocolate y.

3. When you multiply 3 pounds by the price per pound of coffee, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 3 pounds. When you multiply 2 pounds by the price per pound of chocolate, you obtain the amount of money she spent for 2 pounds. If you add both amounts, you obtain the total spent, which was $24.

4. Therefore, you can express this as following:

3x+2y=24

Use the distributive property of multiplication to find 5×45.<br> Hint: 45=5+40.
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b +c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

45 = 40 + 5

5* 45 = 5* (40 + 5)

         = 5*40 + 5*5

         = 200 + 25

         = 225

When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
