Answer:

The cost of each ice cream cone is $4.50

The cost of each ice cream basket is $3.75

The cost of each donut is $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the cost of the ice cream cone

y----> the cost of the ice cream basket

z---> the cost of the donut

we know that

2x+y=12.75 ------> y=12.75-2x ------> equation A

x+2z=7.50 ------> z=(7.50-x)/2 -----> equation B

x+y+z=9.75 ----> equation C

substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for x

x+(12.75-2x)+((7.50-x)/2)=9.75

Multiply by 2 both sides

2x+25.50-4x+7.50-x=19.50

3x=25.50+7.5-19.50

3x=13.5

x=$4.50

Find the value of y

y=12.75-2(4.50)=$3.75

Find the value of z

z=(7.50-4.50)/2=$1.50

therefore

The cost of each ice cream cone is $4.50

The cost of each ice cream basket is $3.75

The cost of each donut is $1.50

A seamstress uses 3/4 yards of material to make a uniform top for band members. If there are 6 3/4 yards of material left on the

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

She can make 9 uniform tops from the material left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Yards of material left on the bolt = $6\frac{3}{4}$

Material requirement for a uniform top for band members = $\frac{3}{4}\ yd$

To find the number of tops that can be made from the material left.

Solution:

In order to find the number of tops that can be made from $6\frac{3}{4}$ yards of material, we need to divide $6\frac{3}{4}\ yd$ by $\frac{3}{4}\ yd$ .

Number of uniform tops that can be made is given as:

⇒ $6\frac{3}{4}\div \frac{3}{4}$

We first convert mixed number to fractions.

⇒ $\frac{27}{4}\div \frac{3}{4}$

To divide fractions the fractions are multiplied after flipping the divisor.

⇒ $\frac{27}{4}\times \frac{4}{3}$

⇒ $\frac{27}{3}$

⇒ 9

Thus, she can make 9 uniform tops from the material left.
