Total amount in payments = 48 + 47.80 + 47.60 + 47.40 + 47.20 + 47.01 = 285.01
Option D is the right answer.
Answer:
9 cats
Step-by-step explanation:
x = cat
y = dog
Set up equations.
x + y = 30
4.5x + 8.5y = 219
Multiply first equation by 4.5 and subtract.
4.5x + 4.5y = 135
-(4.5x + 8.5y = 219)
-4y = -84
y = 21
Substitute this y value into the first equation
x + y = 30
x + 21 = 30
x = 9
Answer:
The number of pounds of cashew is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P represent the peanut
Let C represent the cashew nut.
From question, we were told that Elijah brought a total of 16 pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts. This can be written as:
P + C = 16 (1)
The total cost = $49.50
Cost per peanut = $2.75
Cost per cashew = $3.25
The above can be represented as:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C. (2)
From equation 1,
P + C = 16
P = 16 — C
Substitute the value of P into equation 2:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C.
49.50 = 2.75(16 — C) + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 — 2.75C + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 + 0.5C
Collect like terms
49.50 — 44 = 0.5C
5.5 = 0.5C
Divide both side by 0.5
C = 5.5/0.5
C = 11
Therefore, the number of pounds of cashew is 11
