At a store , 24 bottles of water and 6 bags of chips costs $23.40. Five bottles of water and two bags of chips cost $6.60. What
is the cost of a single bottle of water ?
2 answers:
24w+6c=$23.40
5w+2c=$6.60
So you have to find c (chips) first. You have to make the number of chips in both equations cancel each other.
-3(5w+2c)=-3($6.60)
-15w-6c=$-19.80
Then subtract to get one formula
24w + 6c = $23.40
-15w - 6c = $-19.80
9w = $3.60
w=$.40
To check your answer, find how much one bag of chips costs:
5($.40) + 2c = $6.60
$2.00 + 2c = $6.60
2c = $4.60
c=$2.30
Plug your value for one water and one bag of chips into the formula:
5($.40) + 2($2.30)
$2.00 + $4.60
=$6.60
Then plug your values into the original problem:
24($.40) + 6($2.30)
$9.60 + $13.80
=$23.40

I took the test
If we take 1200 as the 100%, how much percentage is 700 of it?
well

so, (175/3)% or roughly 58.3%
now, how much is (175/3)% of 15000 ?
well, if we take 15000 as the 100%
then
