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 lake has 10,000 fish.when a fishman scoops up his net ,he catches 500 fish. Suppose 150 of the 500 fish in his net are salmon.
Inessa [10]
You need x 20 to get to 10000, so do the same with 150 and get 3000, so it is 3000/10000
