Let
x = number of apples.
y = number of oranges.
we have to write the following equation to represent the problem:
4x + 6y = 15
To satisfy the equation, Jon must have used
x = 2.25
y = 1
Substituting
4 (2.25) +6 (1) = 15
9 + 6 = 15
answer
Jhon used 2.25kg of apple and 1kg of orange to make the salad.
Note: Since the problem does not have any other restrictions, there may be several apple and orange combinations that cost $ 15 per salad.
Her first rate was faster. The 10 minutes with a change in elevation of -200ft.
In order to solve this you need to have the same minutes. In this problem, I just simply took the 10 minutes and the -200ft and doubled it. Now both rates have 20 minutes. The first rate would have gone -400ft in 20 minutes while the second rate was only -300ft in 20 minutes. I hope this wasn't confusing, and I'm willing to explain more.
Distributive property is
a(b+c)=ab+ac
we can make it easier by splitting up 63 into 60+3
so
7(63)=7(60+3)=7*60+7*3=420+21=441
Answer is C).
One way to find the answer is to multiply the $54 by .30 (which is 30%converted to a decimal). Doing this will give you what 30% of $54 is.
This gives you 16.2
Since the question is asking what 30% off the price is, subtract the 16.2 from the $54.
