<span>So we want to know how much does the pencil costs if the ruler costs 1$ more than the pencil and together they cost 1.5$. So lets start with converting dollars into cents. Lets turn this into an equation. Ruler is x and the pencil is y. So together ruler and pencil cost 150cents or: x+y=150 cents. The ruler costs 100 cents more than the pencil, or: (x+100 cents ) + y = 150 cents. So we see that we need to put the values of x=25 cents and y=25 cents to get the ruler to cost 125 cents which is 100 cents or 1$ more than the pencil. So the pencil costs 25 cents. </span>

What is the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days
Ivanshal [37]
The answer is going to be 5 laps per day because I did 15 laps/3days and divided each side by 3 which the answer is going to be 5/1 but it’s basically 5 since it’s going to be a whole number in this set. Therefore the unit rate of 15 laps in 3 days is going to be 5 laps per day.

Ellen is excited to learn how to ski. She went to White Peaks Mountain, rented a pair of skis for $45, and took 4 hours of group
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

x=30h

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to figure out how much she actually paid for lessons, so you need to subtract 45 from 165.

165-45=120

Now you know she paid 120 dollars in total for lessons.

You know she took four hours of lessons, so you divide 120 by 4.

120/4=30

It takes $30 an hour for lessons.

Now you can form an equation.

Since you know it takes $30 per hour of lessons, it will be 30h.

x is the full amount of money paid

You don't need to add 165-45 to your equation because not everyone will need to rent skis when they come to White Peaks.

Hope this helps!

What is 30x pulse 80x
nataly862011 [7]
It would be 110x because they are like units, so they can be added together. Really, you are just doing 80 plus 30, and then adding an x on the end.
