Answer:
ca = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Use rise over run to find slope. If you don't know what that is, its y2-y1/x2-x1. Y2 is 125, Y1 is 25, X2 is 5, and X1 is 1. You then plug the numbers in, 125-25=100. 5-1=4. then you divide 100/4, in which you get 25. So you times 25 by 3, getting 75.

Answer:
She spent 142.65 for baskets, 252.50 for flowers and 185 * 0.07 or 12.95 for ribbons for a total outlay of 408.10. Since she made 30 baskets, that is 408.10/30 = 13.60 1/3 per basket.
If she sold all 30 for 25.99 each, that is 779.70 for a profit of 361.60

Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
