Julia is going to the store to buy candies. Small candies cost $4 and extra-large candies cost $12.She needs to purchase at leas
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Small candies =9

Extra large candies =12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small candies =x

Extra large candies =y

the number of candies is at least 20.

x+y\geq20

Cost of 1 small candy =\$4

Cost of 1 extra large candy =\$12

but she has only \$180 to spend

4x+12y\leq180

Solve for

x+y=20.......(1)\\4x+12y=180.....(2)\\eqn(2)-eqn(1)\times4\\8y=100\\y=\frac{100}{8} \\y=\frac{25}{8} \\from\ eqn(1)\\x+\frac{25}{2}=20\\ x=20-\frac{25}{2} \\x=\frac{15}{2}

Since number of candies should be integer.

let x=7,y=13

total spend 4\times7+12\times13=184 which is more than \$180, so this combination is not possible.

let\ x=8,y=12\\8\times4+12\times12=176

She has \$4 more so she can buy 1 more small candy.

Hence  small candy =9

extra large candy =12

Let 'p' represent the original price, the 'p-0.3p' represents the sale price:

Solving for 'p' we have p=400.

Rearrange the equation so a is the independent variable. -3a+6b=a+4b, b=
leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

-3a+6b=a+4b

We want to make b subject of formula

First to remove the 4b in the Right hand side of the equation

Subtract 4b from both side of the equation

-3a+6b-4b=a+4b-4b

Then we have,

-3a+2b=a

Now to remove the -3a from the left hand side of the equation add 3a to both side

Then,

-3a+2b+3a=a+3a

2b-3a+3a=4a

Then, 2b=4a

Divide both side by 2

2b/2=4a/2

b=2a.
