of popcorn and 2 drinks. Sophie spends a total of $34.50 on 6 bags of popcorn and 4 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

let the number of bags of popcorn = x

let the number of drinks = y

4x + 2y = 20.50 --- (1)

6x + 4y = 34.50 --- (2)

from (1) 4x + 2y = 20.50

2y = 20.50 - 4x

y = 10.25 - 2x --- (3)

substitute (3) into (2)

6x + 4y = 34.50

6x + 4(10.25-2x) = 34.50

6x + 41 - 8x = 34.50

-2x = 34.50 - 41

x = -6.5 / -2

x = 3.25 --- (4)

substitute (4) into (3)

y = 10.25 - 2x

y = 10.25 - 2(3.25)

y = 3.75

the price of one bag of popcorn = $3.25

the price of one drink = $3.75

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 2:1. If there are 18 more boys than girls, work out how many girls there are.
Alborosie

Answer:

I think its 18, because if there's 2 boys to 1 girl then if there's 18 girls then there is an equivalent 18 boys to match, plus another 18, which would put the ratio of boy to girl at 2:1

The coordinates of point a are 30 units of x and 70 units of y. the coordinates of point b are 28 units of x and 76 units of y.

The first thing you should know is that the slope of the line that passes through two points, by definition is given by:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 Substituting the values we have:
 m = (76-70) / (28-30)
 m = -3
 answer:
 the slope of the line between points a and b is
 m = -3
