With any equation you are allowed to take the logarithm of both sides so
5^c=125 now take the logarithm base 5 to both sides giving.
log5(5^c)=log5(125), using the rule log(a^b)=a*log(b) you get
c log5(5)=log5(125), since log5(5)=1
c=log5(125)
Erika $21
3k of cinnamon
1g of gummies
Irene $39
3k of cinnamon
3k of gummies
c= cost of 1 kilogram of cinnamon
g= cost of 1 kilogram of gummies
Erika's Equation
3c + 1g= $21
Irene's Equation
3c + 3g= $39
Solve for one variable in equation one and substitute it in the other equation.
3c + 1g= 21
subtract 3c from both sides
g= 21 - 3c
Substitute g=21 - 3c in equation
3c + 3g= $39
3c + 3 (21 - 3c)= 39
multiply all in parentheses
3c + 63 - 9c= 39
63 - 6c= 39
subtract 63 from both sides
-6c= -24
c= $4
Substitute c=4 in equation to find g
3c + g= 21
3(4) + g= 21
12 + g= 21
subtract 12 from both sides
g= $9
ANSWER: The price of 1 kilogram of cinnamon red hots is $4. The cost of 1 kilogram of gummies is $9.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
13,000
Step-by-step explanation: 10% of 31,000= 3,100 x 6= 18,600
31,000-18,600=13,000
