Answer: The sweater cost $45

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

  • <em>M = money Park has  </em>
  • <em>He spent 1/3 of his money on a sweater = 1/3 M </em>
  • <em>He spent 3/5 of the remainder on a pair of jeans = (1 -1/3) 3/5 = 2/3 *3/5 M </em>
  • <em>Money left = 36 </em>

So, we have to add the costs of the sweater and the jeans. That expression must be equal to the total money he has minus 36 (money left)

1/3 M + 3/5 * 2/3 M = M - 36  

Solving:

1/3 M + 6 / 15 M = M - 36  

11 / 15 M = M - 36  

11/15 M -M =-36

-4/15 M =- 36  

M = -36 / (-4/15)

M = 135  

Sweater costs 1/3 M =1/3 ( 135) = $45

FroYo Express charges $5.75 for a large cup of frozen yogurt and $0.25 for each topping. The Big Chill charges $2.75 for a large
aksik [14]

Answer:

3 toppings for a total of $6.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided we can calculate the cost of a yogurt using the following equations for both Froyo Express (F) and The Big Chill (B) , where the variable x represents the number of toppings...

F = 5.75 + 0.25x

B = 2.75 + 1.25x

Now that we have both equations we can simply make one equal to the other and solve for x in order to calculate at what number of toppings the prices will be the same...

5.75 + 0.25x = 2.75 + 1.25x  ... subtract 2.75 and 0.25x on both sides

3 = 1x ... divide both sides by 1

3 = x

Finally, we can see that at 3 toppings the total cost of both stores will be the same at $6.50

A+b=77,a-b=13 care sun nr
STALIN [3.7K]
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..

a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2

2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together

a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13

Which gives;
2a = 90

Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45

3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.

a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32

4.Solution

a=45
b=32
