Answer:

Cost of 1 DVD is $6.5

Cost of one CD is $4.5

Combine cost of one DVD and CD is $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Kate bought 3 used CDs and 1 used DVD at the bookstore.

Her friend Joel bought 2 used CDs and 2 used DVDs at the same store.

Kate spent $20

Joel spent $22

To Find :  the cost of a used CD and a used DVD

Solution :

Let cost of 1 used CDs be $x

Let cost of 1 used DVDs be $y

Cost of 3 used CDs = $3x

Cost of 2 used CDs = $2x

Cost of 2 used DVDs = $2y

Kate bought 3 used CDs and 1 used DVD at the bookstore.

She spent $20

So, equation becomes :

⇒3x+y=20 ---(a)

Joel bought 2 used CDs and 2 used DVDs. she spent $22.

So, equation becomes:

⇒2x+2y=22 --(b)

Now solve (a) and (b) to determine the value of x and y

We will use substitution method

Substitute the value of x from (b) in (a)

3(\frac{22-2y}{2} )+y=20

33-3y+y=20

33-2y=20

33-20=2y

13=2y

\frac{13}{2} =y

6.5 =y

Thus cost of 1 DVD is $6.5

Now substitute this value of y in b to get value of x

⇒2x+2(6.5)=22

⇒2x+13=22

⇒2x=22-13

⇒2x=9

⇒x=\frac{9}{2}

⇒x=4.5

Thus the cost of one CD is $4.5

Hence the combine cost of one DVD and CD =  $6.5+ $4.5=$11

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Therefore his new balance=$712.95

Therefore his new balance is  =$ 930.44  

Step-by-step explanation:

Darnell starts the month $ 952.43 in his checking account.

He buys an iPhone 7 for $ 217.49 with tax included and two kindle books that each $7.99.

The price of two books is =$(7.99× 2)= $ 15.98

Total amount that he paid for iPhone 7 and two books is =$(217.49+15.98)

                                                                                              =$233.47

Therefore his new balance = $(952.43- 233.47)

                                            =$712.95

The new iPhone 7 is not as awesome as promised , and Darnell returns it.

He will get the price of iPhone refund.

Therefore his new balance is $(712.95+217.49)

                                                =$ 930.44

So if the tennis player serves the ball 300 times, and 45% cannot be returned, then we can use the following expression to solve for the answer:

300*0.45=135serves

Answer: 135 serves will not be returned
