Answer:

6 brownies and 2 cupcakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of brownies be b and the number of cupckes be c.

We have the following system:

b = 3c

1.5b + 3c = 15

Substituting for  b in the second equation:

4.5c  + 3c = 15

7.5c = 15

c =  2.

Thus b = 3c = 6.

Answer:

34 Braids

Step-by-step explanation:

.85 per braid means 1 is 85 cents, 2 is $1.70 and so on.  So normally you would just divide the total amount of money, so for instance if you had $2.55 you would be able to afford 3 braids, since 3 braids cost $2.55.  in fact $2.56, $2.57 aaaaaaaaaaall the way up to $3.39 would be 3 braids, then $3.40 would be 4 braids.

Here though you first pay 3 dollars.  so you need 3 first, then an extra 85 cents to get 1 braid.  2 braids is 3 dollars plus 1.70, 3 braids is 3 + 2.55 4 braids is 3 + 3.40 and so on.

So what you want to do is first take away that 3 dollars you need before the braids, then divide by .85.  for instance $6.40 would get you 4 braids as I showed bcause 3 + 3.40 = 6.40.  now 6.40 - 3 = 3.40 then 3.40 divided by .85 = 4

The problem says we start with$32, so lets do those steps.  first 32 - 3 = 29.  then 29 divided by .85 = 34.11.  well it's not  whole number so lets try something.  34 braids would be 3 + .85*34 = 31.90 and 35 braids would be 32.75  So 31.90, 31.91 aaaaaaaaall the way up to 32.74 would be 34 braids then 32.75 would be 35 braids.  well, $32 is in that in between space, so it is 34 braids.

When I did 32 - 3 = 29.  then 29 divided by .85 = 34.11 that 34.11 does actually tell us we wouldn't get to 35, I just wanted to make it very clear.  so the answer is 34 braids.
