Answer:

2. Judy =$5

Ben= $4

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Let Judy =  x  and Ben =  y

8x + 10y = 80

9x + 5y = 65

Solve these simultaneous equations.

8 x  +  10 y  =  80

18 x  +  10 y  =  130

Take the second equation away from the first equation

− 10 x  =  − 50

x  =  5

This means that Judy gets paid $5 an hour.

Therefore, Ben gets paid $4 an hour.

Answer:

3. 24 quarters and 16 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

3. Let the number of dimes = x and the number of quarters = y

                                    Value      Value

Type        Number       of             of

of             of                EACH      ALL

coin         coins            coin        coins

-------------------------------------------

dimes         x              $0.10       $0.10x

quarters      y             $0.25      $0.25y

-------------------------------------------

TOTALS    40                            $7.60

x + y = 40

0.10x + 0.25y = 7.60

Get rid of decimals by multiplying every term by 100:

10x + 25y = 760

So we have the system of equations:

x + y = 40

10x + 25y = 760

         

We solve by substitution.  Solve the first equation for y:

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x

Substitute (40 - x) for y in 10x + 25y = 760

      10x + 25(40 - x) = 760

      10x + 1000 - 25x = 760

           -15x + 1000 = 760

                  -15x = -240

                       x = 16 = the number of dimes.

Substitute in y = 40 - x

                     y = 40 - (16)

                     y = 24 quarters.

$1.60 + $6.00 = $7.60

I hope that helped, sorry for taking so long :-)

On monday maggie ran n miles, on tuesday she ran 90% of the number of miles that she ran on monday. on wednesday she ran 50% of
Andrew [12]

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday maggie ran n miles.

On Tuesday, she she ran 90% of the number of miles that she ran on Monday i.e \dfrac{90}{100}\times n=0.9n.

On Wednesday, she ran 50% of the number of miles that she ran on Tuesday i.e. \dfrac{50}{100}\times 0.9n=0.45n

First expression : n+0.9n = 1.9 n

Second expression : n + 0.9 n + 0.45 n = 2.35 n

Hence, this is the required solution.

A baseball bat costs $41. This is $9 more than four times the wholesale cost of the bat.Find the bat's wholesale cost.
Lostsunrise [7]

We can find the bat's wholesale cost by working backwards -

Do $41 - 9 to get $32, then we can divide the 32 by the 4 to get $8.

Therefore, the wholesale cost of the bat is $8.


Happy to help!

Which property is demonstrated below?<br> a + b = b + a
Contact [7]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.
