Answer:
1.5 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
6.75 / 4.5 = 1.5.
cost of one peppermint cookies = $ 0.6
cost of one cinnamon sugar cookies = $ 0.3
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let "p" be the cost of one peppermint cookies
Let "c" be the cost of one cinnamon sugar cookies
<u><em>To find: cost of each cookie</em></u>
<h3><u><em>
On the first day, they sold 120 peppermint cookies and 30 cinnamon sugar cookies for a total of $81</em></u></h3>
We can frame a equation as:
120 peppermint cookies x cost of one peppermint cookies + 30 cinnamon sugar cookies x cost of one cinnamon sugar cookies = $ 81

120p + 30c = 81 --------- eqn 1
<h3><u><em>
The next day they made $60 by selling 70 peppermint cookies and 60 cinnamon sugar cookies</em></u></h3>
70 peppermint cookies x cost of one peppermint cookies + 60 cinnamon sugar cookies x cost of one cinnamon sugar cookies = $ 60

70p + 60c = 60 --------- eqn 2
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "p" and "c"
Multiply eqn 1 by 2
240p + 60c = 162 --- eqn 3
Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3
240p + 60c = 162
70p + 60c = 60
(-) -------------------------
170p = 102
<h3>p = 0.6</h3>
Substitute p = 0.6 in eqn 1
120p + 30c = 81
120(0.6) + 30c = 81
72 + 30c = 81
30c = 9
<h3>c = 0.3</h3>
<u><em>Summarizing the results:</em></u>
<em>cost of one peppermint cookies = $ 0.6</em>
<em>cost of one cinnamon sugar cookies = $ 0.3</em>
35h x $11ph = 385, 385 x 52 = 20,020
20,020 = 15,600 = 4,420.
She earns ~$20,000 per year, but spends $4,420 per year.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If R, A, and P all share 108 pounds in the ratio of 2 to 3 to 1, then
2x + 3x + 1x = 108 and
6x = 108 so
x = 18.
R holds the ratio of 2x, so he gets 2(18) which is 36;
A holds the ratio of 3x, so he gets 3(18) which is 54;
P holds the ratio of 1x, so he gets 1(18) which is 18.
36 + 54 + 18 better equal 108...and it does!
