Answer:

$1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This can best be determined using a set of linear equations that are solved simultaneously.

This pair of linear equations may be solved simultaneously by using the elimination method. This will involve ensuring that the coefficient of one of the unknown variables is the same in both equations.

Let the cost of a cookie be c, cost of a doughnut be d and that of a box of doughnut hole be h then if cost of 4 cookies, 6 doughnuts, and 3 boxes of doughnut holes is $8.15, we have

4a + 6d + 3h = 8.15

and the cost of 2 cookies, 3 doughnuts, and 4 boxes of doughnuts holes is $7.20 then

2a + 3d + 4h = 7.20

Dividing the first by 2

2a + 3d + 1.5h = 4.075

subtracting from the second equation

2.5h = 3.125

h = 1.25

The cost of a box of doughnut holes is $1.25

A store manager wants to determine how much to pay her employees. The number of hours the employees work is x, and the hourly wa
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

<em>The employees will work for 1 hour, will earn $5 per hour and will be paid $5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

The number of hours the employees work is x.

And the hourly wage that they are paid is y. The store manager is willing to pay the employees a wage given by the equation

10y-30x=20

The business owner states that the employees should be paid a wage given by the equation

6y+30x=60

Adding both equations we have:

16y = 80

Dividing by 16:

y = 80/16 = 5

Substituting into the first equation:

10*5-30x=20

Operating and simplifying:

50-30x=20

50 - 20 = 30x

30x = 30

x = 30/30 = 1

Thus, the employees will work for 1 hour, will earn $5 per hour and will be paid $5

Melanie eats 1.5 pounds of cereal each week. Which model below best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats in .5 wee
Katena32 [7]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 x: number of weeks
 y: amount of cereal that Melanie eats
 We now write the function that models the problem:
 y = 1.5x&#10;
 Then, for 5 weeks we have:
 y = 1.5 (5)&#10;&#10;y = 7.5 pounds
 Answer:
 
A model that best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats is:
 
y = 1.5x&#10;
 For 5 weeks we have:
 
y = 7.5 pounds

Which is the simplified form of the expression?
Anon25 [30]

Given:

Consider the given expression is:

10n-\dfrac{1}{3}(9n-12)

To find:

The simplified form of the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

10n-\dfrac{1}{3}(9n-12)

Using distributive property, it can be written as:

=10n-\dfrac{1}{3}(9n)-\dfrac{1}{3}(-12)

=10n-3n+4

=7n+4

Therefore, the correct option is A.
