You want to solve this set of linear equations by the elimination method.
Let x=price of bag of flour and y=price of bag of sugar
Multiply the first equation by -3.
-3(7x+5y=584)
Multiply the second equation by 5.
5(5x+3y=384)
Solve by elimination.
X=42
Substitute value of x into one of the original equations.
Y=58
Answer:
The answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the interval -6 < x < 0, the line is straight which is linear equation. The line shows its going down so it will be decreasing gradient.
Answer:
Three $5's and eleven $1's
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
18.18 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
A truck uses 1 tablespoon of gasoline to drive 125 yards.
Now, 1 gallon of gasoline contains 256 tablespoons of gasoline.
So, the truck uses 1 gallon i.e. 256 tablespoons of gasoline to drive (256 × 125) = 32000 yards.
Now, 1-mile distance contains 1760 yards.
Therefore, the truck uses 1 gallon of gasoline to drive 
miles. (Answer)
In this question the first thing that needs to be determined is the commission taken by the pizza shop and the amount of money that falls in the part of Mindy.
We already know that Mindy sells the piece of art for $15 and the pizza shop takes 15% commission on it.
Then
Commission taken by the pizza shop = (15/100) * 15
= 225/100
= 2.25 dollars
So the pizza shop takes a commission of $2.25 from the sales of each art piece from Mindy.
Then amount that falls in Mindy's part = (15 - 2.25) dollars
= 12.75 dollars
Now Mindy is not taking the money but taking a pizza worth rupees $12 including 5% sales tax.
Initially it looks like Mindy is making a profit of $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. So it is a fair deal for Mindy. Now coming to the part of the pizza shop owner, we find that he also gains extra $2.25 from this deal. So it is a fair deal for both the shop keeper and Mindy.
