Answer: 27.44 % decrease in gas prices

Step-by-step explanation: First subtract 2.15 by 1.56 to get 0.59

then divide it by the starting value which is 2.15

0.59 divided by 2.15 is  approximately 0.2744

then multiply times 100 to get 27.44 %

hope this helps mark me brainliest if it helped

2. John and Jen went to the farmers market to buy fruit. John bought 3 boxes of oranges and 9 boxes of cherries for $78. Jen bou
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Let the cost of orange be X and cost of cherry be y

3x + 9y = 78

8x + 4y = 58

Solving equation using elimination method

multiplying eq 1 with 8 and eq 2 with 3

8(3x + 9y ) = 78(8)

3( 8x + 4y) = 3(58)

24x + 72 y = 624

24x + 12y = 174

subtracting,

60 y = 450

y = 7.5

3x + 9(7.5) = 78

3x + 67.5 = 78

3x = 78 - 67.5

3x = 10.5

x = 3.5

<h2>Box of orange = $3.5 </h2><h2>Box of cherry = $7.5</h2>

Given:

The cost of each carnival ticket is $5.

To find:

The equation, table of values and graph for the given problem.

Solution:

Let x be the number of tickets and y be the total money spent on tickets.

Cost of one ticket = $5

Cost of x tickets = $5x

So, total cost is

y=5x

The required equation is y=5x.

At x=1,

y=5(1)

y=5

At x=2,

y=5(2)

y=10

At x=3,

y=5(3)

y=15

The required table of values is

x       y

1        5

2      10

3      15

So, the required table of values is table A.

From the above table, it is clear that the graph passes through the point (1,5), (2,10) and (3,15). The graph B passes through these points.

So, the required graph is graph B.

Since the required answers are y=5x, table A, graph B, therefore the correct option is B.
