Answer:

1 pear = $0.75; 1 orange = $0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)               3P +  4O = 4.85

(2)              3P + 10O = 8.75                 Eqn (2) - Eqn (1)

3P + 10O – 3P – 4O = 8.75 – 4.85     Combine like terms

                           6O = 3.90                 Divide each side by 6

                             O = $0.65              Substitute into Eqn (1)

           3P + 4×0.65 = 4.85

               3P + 2.60 = 4.85                 Subtract 2.60 from each side

                           3P = 2.25                Divide each side by 3

                            P = $0.75

Oranges cost $0.65 each and pears are $0.75 each

The tax rate is 3.9%<br> What is the tax on 42$? <br> Round to the nearest hundredth
mafiozo [28]
To find the total price, we use this equation:
42 + 0.039(42)
We can make it simpler:
1.039(42)
Multiply:
43.638
Because we're rounding
The total price is $43.64

Find an equation equivalent to r = 10sin ø in rectangular coordinates.
kherson [118]

Answer: x^2 + y^2 -10y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Cartesian coordinates, also called the Rectangular coordinates, isdefined in terms of x and y. So, for the problem θ has to be eliminated or converted using basic foundations that are described by the unit circle and the right triangle trigonometry.

r= 10sin(θ)

Remember that:

x= r × cos(θ)

y= r × sin(θ)

r^2= x^2 + y^2

Multiply both sides of the equation by r. This will give:

r × r = 10r × sin(θ)

r^2 = 10r × sin(θ)

x^2 + y^2= 10r × sin(θ)

Because y= r × sin(θ), we can make a substitution. This will be:

x^2 + y^2= 10y

x^2 + y^2 -10y = 0

The above equation is the Rectangular coordinate equivalent to the given equation.
