It woulds be x+15 because if you take 2x and subtracted from the 3x then you get x and then you add the 9 and 6 witch you get 15
Answer: tea = 15 rupees per kg
sugar= 3 rupees per kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:
<em>"Two kg of tea and 3 kg of sugar cost rupees 39 in january 1997":
</em>
2 t + 3 s =39 (a)
Where:
- t= price of 1 kg of tea
- s = price of 1 kg of sugar
<em>"in march 1997 the price of the tea increased by 25% (1.25)and the price of the sugar increased by 20%(1.20) and the same quantity of tea and sugar cost rupees 48.30.
"</em>
2(t1.25)+3(s1.2) = 48.30 (b)
- <em>Solving for t in (b)
</em>
2t =39-3s
t = (39 -3s)/2
t = 19.5-1.5s
- <em>Replacing the value of t in (b)
</em>
2 x ((19.5-1.5s)1.25)+ 3 ( 1.2s) =48.30
2x ( 24.375 -1.875s) +3.6s =48.30
48.75 -3.75s+3.6s= 48.30
48.75-48.30 = 3.75s-3.6s
0.45= 0.15s
0.45/0.15 =s
3 =s
- <em>Replacing the value of s in (a)
</em>
2 t + 3 (3) =39
2 t + 9 =39
2 t =39 -9
2 t =30
t = 30/2
t= 15
Prices in january:
tea = 15 rupees per kg
sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Answer:
a) $ 22x -9
b) 44x - 18
c) $319
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
number of $1 bills wyatt has = (2x-1)
number of $5 bills wyatt has = (4x + 2)
The total amount of money that Wyatt has in terms of x
(2x - 1) + 5(4x + 2)
= 2x - 1 + 20x + 10
= $ 22x -9
The number of pens that Wyatt can buy if each pen costs 50 cents
$(22x - 9) * 100
= 2200x - 900 cents / 50
= 44x - 18
If x = 21, amount of money Susan will have now if Wyatt gives her half the number of five dollar bills that he has
( 5 (4x + 2) / 2) + ( 2 (21) - 1)
= 215 + 41
= 256
As we know that Susan has $3x more than Wyatt
So,
256 + 3x
= 256 + 3(21)
= $319
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 sandwich is 6.25 (because 31.25/5)
2 sandwiches is 12.5
3 sandwiches are 18.75
4 sandwiches are 25
5 sandwiches are 31.25
6 sandwiches are 37.5
Amy - 8s + 12
8(6.25) +12 = 62
Amy paid $62.
Bob - 8(s + 2)
8(6.25 + 2) = 66
Bob pays $66.
Cathy - 4(2s + 3)
4(2 x 6.25 + 3) = 62
Cathy paid $62.
