Answer:

18 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

x+y=34 (1)

0.50x+0.75y=21 (2)

where x is the number of muffins and y is the number of bagels.

First, you can isolate x in (1):

x=34-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2):

0.50(34-y)+0.75y=21

17-0.5y+0.75y=21

0.25y=21-17

0.25y=4

y=4/0.25

y=16

Now you can replace the value of "y" in (3):

x=34-16

x=18

According to this, the answer is that you sold 18 muffins.

What does 5/7c=13/14 equal
natita [175]
To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.

5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c

13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5

Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70

Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.

So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.

Hope this helps :)

Help asap Which explains how to find the quotient of the division below? -3 1/3 divided by 4/9
noname [10]

Answer:

-7\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the quotient, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction first

-3\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{3*3+1}{3}=-\frac{10}{3}

Find the quotient now

\frac{(-10/3)}{(4/9)}=-\frac{10*9}{4*3}\\ \\=-\frac{90}{12}

Simplify

Divide by 6 both numerator and denominator

=-\frac{15}{2}=-7.5

Convert to a mixed number

-7.5=-(7+0.5)=-(7+\frac{1}{2})=-7 \frac{1}{2}
