Answer:

A hot dog would cost 1.75 and the juice would cost 1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, set x as the number of hot dogs and y as the number of juice drinks. This allows us to set up the following equations for each situation.

6x + 4y = 14.70

3x + 4y = 9.45

Now we can mutliply the second equation by -2 to get the x values to cancel out.

6x + 4y = 14.70

-6x - 8y = -18.90

------------------------

-4y = -4.20

y = 1.05

Now that we have this, we can plug it into either equation to find the cost of a hot dog.

3x + 4y = 9.45

3x + 4(1.05) = 9.45

3x + 4.20 = 9.45

3x = 5.25

x = 1.75

Trisha paid $76.80 for a dress at the mall. The dress was on sale for 20% off.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

On sale at a deficit of -20% from the original price is saying that the item is at 80% of its original value.

Converting percentages using decimals is a very easy way to fine original values.

So:

$76.80 = 80% of the original value

convert the 80% into a decimal = 0.80

The maths:

$76.80 ÷ 0.8 = $96.00

$96.00 = the original value.

DETERMINA EL VOLUMEN DE UN PRISMA PENTAGONAL QUE TIENE LAS SIGUIENTES MEDIDAS: LADO 6.1 CM, APOTEMA 4.5, ALTURA 12.5CM DEL PRISM
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

837.23 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

La fórmula para el volumen de un prisma pentagonal se da como:

1/2 (5 s × a) × h

Dónde:

s = longitud lateral

a = Apotema

h = altura

De la pregunta anterior:

s = largo de lado = 6.1 cm

a = Apotema = 4.5 cm

h = Altura = 12.5 cm

Por lo tanto:

El volumen del prisma pentagonal =

1/2 (5 × 6.1 × 4.5) × 12.5

= 1/2 × 137.25 × 12.5

= 837.225 cm³

Aproximadamente = 837.23 cm³
