Answer: the prices of the gifts are $6.4 and $19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of the cheaper gift.

Let y represent the price of the costlier gift.

The price of one gift was 3 times the cost of the other. It means that the price of the costlier gift is expressed as

y = 3x

If both gifts cost $25.60 altogether, it means that

x + y = 25.60- - - - - - - -- - -1

Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 3x = 25.6

4x = 25.6

x = 25.6/4

x = $6.4

y = 3x = 3 × 6.4

y = $19.2

Answer:

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 4) = 2x + 4x - 6

3x + 12 = 2x + 4x - 6

3x + 12 = 6x - 6

x= 6

100 notes were altogether

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that ratio of the number of $2 notes to the number of $5 notes was 4 : 1

number of $2 notes : number of $5 notes = 4 : 1

Let 4x be the number of $ 2 notes

Let 1x be the number of $ 5 notes

Given that total value of notes is $ 260

Therefore,

$ 2 (number of $ 2 notes ) + $ 5(number of $ 5 notes ) = $ 260

$ 2(4x) + $ 5(1x) = $ 260

8x + 5x = 260

13x = 260

x = 20

<em><u>Thus number of notes altogether is given as:</u></em>

4x + 1x = 4(20) + 1(20) = 80 + 20 = 100

Thus 100 notes were altogether

Please Help Meeeee!!! Will Mark Brainliest!!!
love history [14]

Answer:

Part A: Yes. For every 10 employees, an increase of 80 products produced.

Part B: y = 8x + 120

Part C: Y-intercept indicates the number of products produced when there are 0 employees. The slope indicates the rate of increase of production with the number of employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: 80 - 0 = 80 employees; 760 - 120 = 640 products. Therefore, 640/80 = 8 products per employee <u>or</u> 80 products per 10 employees

Part B: For y = mx + c ,

m = (Y1 - Y0)/(X1 - X0) = (760 - 120)/(80 - 0) = 8

c = Y-intercept, when X = 0. Therefore c = 120
