7 goes into 11 one time, which leaves you with 1 4/7.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the amount of grapes that can be bought for 0.40.
Note: By 90 I assume you mean 90 cents. The same for 40.
12/x = 0.90/0.40
0.90x = 12(0.40)
0.90x = 4.80
x = 4.80 ÷ 0.90
x = 5.33333
We can round the decimal to the ones place to get 5 grapes.
First option:
y=money saved
x=number of months
y=30x+500
Second option:
y=50x+200
We have this system of equations:
y=30x+500
y=50x+200
We can solve this system of equations by equalization method
30x+500=50x+200
30x-50x=200-500
-20x=-300
x=-300/-20
x=15
so;
y=30x+500
y=30(15)+500
y=450+500
y=950
Answer; after 15 months, she would save the same amount using either option, the amount saved in either option will be $950.
