Answer:

Cost of peach = 0.30$

Cost of honeydew melon = 1.20$

Explanation:

 Let us assume that cost of peach to be x.

 So we have cost for the honeydew melon = Four times of the cost of peach

                                                                        = 4x

   Total cost = Cost of honeydew melon +  Cost of peach

                    = 4x+x = 5x

   We also have total cost = $1.50

   So equating both

               5x = $1.50

                 x = 1.50/5 =0.30$

   So cost of peach = 0.30$

        Cost of honeydew melon = 4x = 4*0.30 = 1.20$

Strawberries cost $2 per pound. Kate buys 5 pounds and gets 20% discount on the total cost. How much does Kate pay for the straw
Tema [17]

The total cost without the discount is given by:

C = (2) * (5)\\C = 10$

Then, to find the discounted amount, we make the following rule of three:

10 $ ------------------> 100%

x ----------------------> 20%

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

x = (\frac{20}{100}) * (10)\\x = 2

Then, the cost of the Strawberries with the discount is:

10 - 2 = 8 $

Answer:

Kate pays for the strawberries about $ 8.

belka [17]

Answer:

Radius of tire=0.58 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know that the

Circumference of the tire=2*3.14*r

and it needs to rotate 30 times to cover the street distance of 360 feet

So, the below equation would be used to find the radius of tire in the meters

360/3.28084=30*2*3.14*r

r=0.5824203822 meters

Hence

Radius=0.58 meter
