Answer:

A salad costs $2.50

A sandwich costs $4.50

A drink costs $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.

Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:

3x + 2y + z = 17.75  (1)

Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:

x + y + 3z = 10.75  (2)

Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:

x = 2z  (3)

Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:

-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50

3x + 2y + z = 17.75

→ x - 5z = -3.75

Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:

2z - 5z = -3.75

-3z = -3.75

z = 1.25

x = 2z → x = 2.50

x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50

Write 5% as a decimal.

You cannot do it that way.  Make sure the question you wrote is correct, because you would divide 5 by 100, not 100 by 5.  A simple way is to move the decimal point two points to the left.  5% as a decimal is 0.05.  

The answer is false if the question is written this way.

Question 5:
 the circumference is given by:
 C = 2 * pi * r
 Where,
 r: radio of the ball
 Substituting values we have:
 22 = 2 * pi * r
 Clearing r we have:
 r = 11 / pi
 The surface area is given by:
 A = 4 * pi * r ^ 2
 Substituting values we have:
 A = 4 * 3.14 * (11 / 3.14) ^ 2
 A = 154 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The surface area of the balloon is:
 
A = 154 in ^ 2

 Question 8:
 For this case we have that the scale factor is given by:
 V1 = (k ^ 3) * V2
 Substituting values we have:
 729 = (k ^ 3) * 2744
 Clearing k:
 k = (729/2744) ^ (1/3)
 k = 9/14
 Answer:
 the scale factor of a cube with volume 729 m ^ 3 to a cube with volume 2,744 m ^ 3 is:
 9:14

 Question 2:
 The volume of the cylinder is given by:
 V = pi * r ^ 2 * h
 Where,
 r : radio
 h: height
 Substituting values:
 V = pi * (2.8) ^ 2 * (13)
 V = 101.92 * pi
 Answer:
 
The volume of the cylinder is:
 
V = 101.92 * pi
