four pencils and a ruler cost $1. six pencils and three rulers cost $2.10. find the cost of three pencils and thirteen rulers.
1 answer:
Answer:
$ 5.65
Step-by-step explanation:
let the cost of a pencil and a ruler be $p and $r respectively.
4p +r= 1 -----(1)
6p +3r= 2.10
divide by 3 throughout:
2p +r= 0.70 -----(2)
Q: 3p +13r= ?
(1) -(2):
(4p +r) -(2p +r)= 1 -0.70
4p +r -2p -r= 0.30 <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>
2p= 0.30 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>
p= 0.30 ÷2 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
p= 0.15
subst. into (1):
4(0.15) +r= 1
r +0.60= 1
r= 1 -0.60
r= 0.40
cost of three pencils and thirteen rulers
= 3p + 13r
= 3(0.15) + 13(0.40)
= 0.45 + 5.20
= $5.65

Okay, so we need to make a proportion:
We multiply:
3000 x 100 = 300,000
Then we divide:
300,000 / 150,000 = 2
So, the answer would be 2%

If she had 6 bags before and each bag became three, the total number is 6*3=18 bags.
Answer:
"Y intercept is1 "
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is (-1 - 2)/[8 - (-4)] = -3/12 = -(1/4)
(-1/4) = (y - 2)/(x + 4) => -x - 4 = 4y - 8
-x + 4 = 4y
y = (-1/4)x + 1 so that the y-intercept is 1
A=l*w
A=5*5
=25 square feet
Let multiply by 35 both sides of the equation
35b+35*3/7=35*2/5
35b+15=14
There are all false
