using the information in the problem, you can make 2 separate equations: 8x+12y=6.92 and 5x+5y=3.25, let x= the cost of a snickerdoodle and y= the cost of a chocolate chip cookie.

With the 2 equations, we can isolate the y variable of the first equation and simplify which will give us y= -2/3x +6.92/12.

You can now take that equation and plug it into equation number 2:

5x+5(-2/3x + 6.92/12)=3.25.

solve that equation by multiplying 5 through the brackets: 5x-10/3x+34.6/12=3.25

add common terms: 5/3x=4.4/12

find the value of x, you will get x=0.22

plug the value of x (0.22) into one of your equations and solve for the y-value

What is 26.99 round to the nearest tenth

Arte-miy333 [17]

Salutations!

To round to the nearest tenth, you need know whether the number next to tenth place is greater than 5 or lesser than 5. If its greater than 5, you need to round up. If its lesser than 5, you need to round down. Now, in the number 26.99 9 is in the tenth place. The number next to 9 is greater than 5, so just add on to the ones place, making the tenth and hundredth place 0. Zero has no value so whether you add the zero or not, it does not matter.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!
