<h2>3x - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

An experienced cashier at a grocery store takes 2 seconds to scan each item and 40 seconds to process the customer's payment. 1)
lina2011 [118]

The answers are 1) D. 43 items and 2) B. 58 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; An experienced cashier takes a time of 2 seconds per item and another 40 seconds for processing the customer's payment. So if it took 2 minutes 6 seconds which equals ( 2× 60 ) + 6 = 126 seconds for a customer. Out of these 126 seconds, the last 40 seconds were to process the customer's payment so 126 seconds - 40 seconds = 86 seconds. So it took 86 seconds to scan the items and as it takes 2 seconds per item we divide 86 by 2 to get the number of items. So 86 / 2 = 43 items which is option D.

Step 2; Anna brought 31 items and due to some glitch, the total time took 2 minutes. So for 31 items, it took the cashier 31 × 2 = 62 seconds, 1 minute 2 seconds. So out of the 2 minutes, 1 minute 2 seconds were used to scan the items. So the remaining time was 2 minutes (120 seconds) - 1 minute 2 seconds (62 seconds) = 58 seconds which was the processing time. So option B is the answer.

Ellen went to the store and bought 4 oranges and 5 apples for $4.00. Jessie bought 2 oranges and 3 apples for $2.20. How much is
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1 apple= $0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let o=orange

Let a=apple

4o+5a=4

2o+3a=2.20

2o=2.20-3a

o=2.20-3a/2

Let's go balk to the the first equation

4o+5a=4

4(2.20-3a/2)+5a=4

4.4-6a+5a=4

4.4-a=4

-a=-0.4

a=0.4

Apple=$0.4

Ou can draw a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel lines and no right angles.
Triss [41]
I believe it would be true because you can have the first set then when you have your second set it just have to be slanted for them to all be acute & obtuse angles
