The cost of small box of oranges is $7.

The cost of large box of oranges is $13.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is given that,

3 small boxes of oranges and 14 large boxes of oranges for a total of $203.

11 small boxes of oranges and 11 large boxes of oranges for a total of $220.

Let us take,

  • The cost of small box of oranges = x
  • The cost of large box of oranges = y

<u>The system of equations are framed as :</u>

3x + 14y = 203  ---------(1)

11x + 11y = 220  ---------(2)

<u>To solve these equations for x and y values :</u>

Multiply equation (1) by 11 and equation (2) by 3

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1),

 33x + 154y = 2233

- <u>(33x + 33y = 660)  </u>

  <u>        121 y = 1573  </u>

⇒ y = 1573 / 121

⇒ y = 13

∴ The cost of large box of oranges is $13.

Substitute y=13 in the eq(1),

⇒ 3x + 14(13) = 203

⇒ 3x + 182 = 203

⇒ 3x = 203 - 182

⇒ 3x = 21

⇒ x = 21 / 3

⇒ x = 7

∴ The cost of small box of oranges is $7.

Casey wants to buy a gym membership. Gym A has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month. Gym B has no joining fee and costs $6
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gym A has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month.

Assuming that Casey wants to attend for x months, the cost of using gym A will be

150 + 35 times x months. It becomes

150 + 35x

Gym B has no joining fee and costs $60 per month.

Again, assuming that Casey wants to attend for x months, the cost of using gym B will be

60 × x months = 60x

A) To determine the number of months that it will both gym memberships to be the same, we will equate them.

150 + 35x = 60x

60x - 35x = 150

25x = 150

x = 150/25 = 6

It will take 6 months for both gym memberships to be the same.

B) If Casey plans to only go to the gym for 5 months,

Plan A will cost 150 + 35×5 = $325

Plan B will cost 60 × 5 = $300

Plan B will be cheaper

Alla [95]

Answer:

Yes, he earned a Varsity letter because he played in 61% of the games.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the percent of games he played out of the total, we can do it by dividing the games he played by the total of games and multiply this by 100% to get the percent of games he played:

\frac{11}{18}*100%

We solve:

0.611111*100% = 61.11%

So we know that he earned a letter because he played in 61.11% of the games, more than he needed.
