Answer:

45.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the number Malachy was thinking of is <em>x</em>.

Doubling it gives 2x, which we see also equals 91.6. Set these equal to each other:

2x = 91.6

To solve, we divide both sides by 2 and get x = 45.8, which is our answer.

Sean bought 1.8 pounds of gummy bears and 0.6 pounds of jelly beans and paid $10.26. He went back to the store the following wee

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Gummy bears $3.20/lbs

Jelly beans $7.50/lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

For this we will substitute gummy bear price for "x" and jelly bean price for "y" which creates this system (also assuming there is no sales tax involved):

1.8x + 0.6y = 10.26

1.2x + 1.5y = 15.09

Then once solved, answers come out to be (x,y) = (16/5,15/2) which is (3.2,7.5)
