Answer:
Pies=$0.85
Donuts= $1.20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation let p stand for the number of pies and d stand for the number of donuts.
To solve this set up 2 equations, one representing bill and the other representing Mary Ann.
- Bill's equation is 5p+7d=$12.65.
- Mary Ann's equation is 6p+6d=$12.30
Then solve using a system of equations. Systems of equations can be solved using elimination or substitution. I will use substitution. Solve bill's equation for p. This gives you 
. Then, you can substitute that into Mary Ann's equation. This looks like 
. Solve for d. Once you solve d=1.20. Finally, substitute 1.20 back into either Bill's or Mary Ann's for d and solve for p. No matter which equation you use p=0.85.
If a bag of pumpkin seeds must weigh within 2.1 grams in order to be accepted, each bags must weigh between (400-2.1) grams and (400+2.1) grams. This means that if a bag weighs less than 397.9 grams (x<397.9) or more than 402.1 grams (x>402.1) it will be rejected. Therefore, 397.9>x>402.1 is the range of rejected bags.
The musician can arrange the musical selections 24 times. :)
First, lets determine the regular price of his purchase :
16.99 (3) + 34.99 (3) + 52.99 (2) + 5.99 (5) = 50.97 + 104.97 + 105.98 + 29.95 = 291.87
Therefore, the regular price of his purchase is $291.87 before sales tax.
If he receives 25% off of his total purchase, then the price is now :
291.87 * .75 = $218.90
We multiply by 75% because we are only paying 75% of the total purchase price since we received a 25% discount.
The total savings is
291.87 - 218.90 = $72.97
If sales tax is 10%, the total purchase price after sales tax is :
218.90 * 1.10 = $240.79
The sales tax is $21.89 since
240.79 -218.90 = 21.89
If he pays with 3 $100 bills, we should receive :
300 - 240.79 = $59.21
in change.
