Hello!

your answer is 13.8%

to get this, divide 5 by 36, then multiply by 100

5/36 = 0.138888...

0.138 * 100 = 13.8

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Answer:

13.88.. %

Step-by-step explanation:

If 36 is 100%

then

5 is x (we dont know)

We do cross multiplication

16*x = 100*5

16x=500

Divida both sides by 16

x= 500/36

x=13.88888

1 2/3 = m

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = m+3/5 -8/5

Combine terms

2/3 = m-5/5

2/3 = m -1

Add 1 to each side

2/3 +1 = m-1+1

2/3 +3/3 = m

5/3 = m

1 2/3 = m

Michael can buy 4 sandwiches and 3 cups of coffee for $23.75. Amy can buy 2 sandwhiches and 5 cups of coffee for $19.75 how much

Kobotan [32]

Answer: The cost of one sandwich is $4.25 and the cost of one cup of coffee is $2.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of one sandwich and y be the cost of one cup of coffee.

By considering the given situation, we have the following equations :-

$4x+3y=23.75.................(1)\\\\2x+5y=19.75................(2)$

Multiply 2 on both sides of equation (2) , we get

$4x+10y=39.5................(3)$

Subtract equation (1) from equation (3), we get

$7y=15.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{15.75}{7}=2.25$

Put value of y in (1), we get

$4x+3(2.25)=23.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x+6.75=23.75\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x =17\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=4.25$

Hence, the cost of one sandwich is $4.25 and the cost of one cup of coffee is $2.25.
