Mathematics

Dovator [93]3 years ago

Answer:

m=22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

m is proportional to n means there is some constant k such that:

m=kn

If m=5 when n=4 then we have the following equation to solve for our constant k:

5=k(4)

5=4k

Divide both sides by 4:

5/4 =k

So k=5/4 no matter what (m,n) pair they give you where the equation is m=kn.

m=(5/4)n

What is m when n=18?

m=(5/4)(18)

m=(5/2)(9)

m=45/2

m=22.5

Person A buys 12 granola bars and 7 cups of yogurt for $15.50. Person B buys 6 granola bars and 11 cups of yogurt for $11.50. Fi
Hitman42 [59]

Let us assume that cost of each granola bar be $x and that of a cup of yogurt be $y  
From person A's purchase, we get  
12x + 7y = 15.5; equation A  
And from person B's purchase, 
6x + 11y = 11.5; equation B  
Let us multiply equation B by 2 and subtracting equation A from it, we will get  
12x + 22y - 12x - 7y = 23 - 15.5,  
=> 15y = 7.5 
or, y = 0.5  
Substituting value of y in equation A, we can find x  
12x + 7*0.5 = 15.5 
=> x = (15.5 - 3.5)/12 
or, x = 1  
Therefore, cost of granola bar is $1, and that of yogurt is $0.5

The sum of 2 number is 42 and when you switch the order the difference is 5
Ksivusya [100]
So, x + y = 42 and y - x = 5;
Then, y = x + 5;
Finally, x + x + 5 = 42;
2x + 5 = 42;
2x = 37;
x = 18.5;
y = 18.5 + 5;
y = 23.5;
