Hello!
Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:
• hotdogs: $2.59 (,x,)
,
• hamburgers: $5.29 (,y,)
He needs 11 packages. Let's write it:
• x + y = 11
He spent a total of $39.29. We can write it as:
• 2.59x + 5.29y = 39.29
Now, let's solve these two equations as a linear system:
First, let's isolate x in equation A:
Now, we will replace where's x by 11-y in equation B:
As I called the hamburgers as 'y', we know that he bought 4 packages of hamburgers.
So 45% of 35 is 16.2 so subtract 16.2 from 36 and you get A 19.2
Answer:
x = 2, x = -5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + x - 10 = 0
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
KL + KJ = 17
2 + 3x + 5x - 1 = 17 add like terms
8x + 1 = 17 subtract 1 from both sides
8x = 16 divide both sides by 8
x = 2
KL = 5x - 1 replace x with 2
5*2 - 1 = 9
Answer:
Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.
So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.
- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50
- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00
And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb
