The cost of a bag of chips in a vending machine is $0.85. The cost of a Gatorade in the same machine is $1.50. Kennedy spent $23

.70 on chips and Gatorade for her track team, and bought a combination of 21 bag of chips and Gatorade. Which step shows the FIRST mistake in applying the Elimination Method to solve this problem? A) Step1: - 0.85(x + y = 21) 0.85x + 1.50y = 23.70 B) Step 2: - 0.85x + y = 21 0.85x + 1.50y = 23.70 C) Step 3: 2.50y = 44.70 D) Step 4: y = 17.88

A bag of chip  = 0.85, let a bag of chip be x
a bag of gatorade is 1.50, let gatorade be y
23.70 is the amount Kennedy spent in all

0.85x + 1.50y = 23.70
step 1: shows the wrong step already, because you shouldn't take out a -0.85, and y is not 0.85 either, but 1.50, so y should still have 1.76 left

so your answer should be step 1.

hope this helps

Step 1 : -0.85(x + y = 21) <== I have no idea why they r  multiplying -0.85 by that equation

it should be :
x + y = 21
0.85x + 1.50y = 23.70

A refrigerator costs $580 a year to run. A family purchases a new one for $1200 that will save them 22% annually in energy costs
NeTakaya

Answer:

It will take nine years and four months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The new refrigerator which costs $1200, saves the family 22% annually in energy cost.

Since the old refrigerator costs $580 to run, we want to determine how many years it will take for 22% of $580 per year to make $1200.

22% of $580

= 580 × 0.22

= 127.6

That is, it saved then $127.6 per year.

Now,

$1200/127.6

≈ 9.4

Which means, it will take 9 years and 4 months for the refrigerator to pay for itself.

\bf \cfrac{64~\underline{mi}}{\underline{hr}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{hr}}{60~sec}\cdot \cfrac{5200~ft}{\underline{mi}}\implies \cfrac{64\cdot 5200~ft}{60~sec}\implies \cfrac{16640~ft}{3~sec}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\approx 5546.67\frac{ft}{sec}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{6000~\underline{lbs}}{\underline{day}}\cdot \cfrac{ton}{2000~\underline{lbs}}\cdot \cfrac{7~\underline{day}}{week}\implies \cfrac{6000\cdot 7~ton}{2000~week}\implies 21.00\frac{ton}{week}

Can some o e help me with 7 please this is due tommorow
erik [133]
This is kinda hard to explain but I'll try my best. Here's a tip, the fractions that are on the ruler really mean 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90, and 100. So, when you look at the decimals on number 7, you have to try to turn them into fractions in your head. For example, 0.9 is actually 9/10 or 90.
