Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7

pints of cut fruit. The food cost is modeled by the equation , where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. If the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies? (Round to the nearest cent.)

Answer:

price of a pint of veggies is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Chen spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints of cut fruit.

If v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit.

So food cost will be modeled by the equation

5v + 7f = $28.70

Now the cost of each pint of fruit has been given as $2.85 and we have to calculate the price of each pint of veggies.

We put the value f = $2.85 in the equation.

5v + 7(2.85) = 28.70

5v + 19.95 = 28.70

5v = 28.70 - 19.95

5v = 8.75

v = $\frac{8.75}{5}=1.75$

Therefore, price of a pint of veggies is $1.75

Explain how to find the sum of 3/10 + 4/100

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: 17/50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to add fractions, we must find a common denominator, in this case, 100.

Then, we must make the fractions being added all have the common denominator.

So, we must multiply 3/10 * 10/10, which equals 30/100

30/100 + 4/100

Then, just add across the numerator to get 34/100, which can be simplified to 17/50

What expression is equivalent to

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is $\sqrt[3]{64a^6b^7c^9}$

By simplifying this expression,

$\sqrt[3]{64a^6b^7c^9}=\sqrt[3]{(4)^3(a^2)^3(b^2)^3(b)(c^3)^3}$

$=(4a^2b^2c^3)\sqrt[3]{b}$

Option (1)

$2abc^2\sqrt[3]{4a^2b^3c}$ = $2ab^2c^2\sqrt[3]{a^2c}$

Option (2)

$4a^2b^2c^3(\sqrt[3]{b})$ [Fully simplified form]

Option (3)

$8a^3b^3c^4(\sqrt[3]{bc} )$ [Fully simplified form]

Option (4)

$8a^2b^2c^3(\sqrt[3]{b})$

Expression given in Option (2) is equivalent to the given expression.

Option (2) will be the answer.

An actor invests some money at 7%, and $48000 and more than twotimes the amount of 9%. The total annual interest earned from the

forsale [732]

Answer:

At 7% $54,000

At 9% $156,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount invested at 7%, Then 2x + 48000 will be the amount invested at 9%

We know that:

7% = 0.07 & 9% = 0.09

So we can write the interest equation as follows:

0.07x + 0.09 (2x + 48000) = 17820

0.07x + 0.18x + 4320 = 17820

0.25x + 4320 = 17820

Subtracting 4320 from both sides of the equation we get:

0.25x = 17820 - 4320

0.25x = 13500

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.25 we get:

x = 13500 / 0.25

x = $54,000 invested at 7%

&

2 x 54000 + 48000

= $156,000 invested at 9%

Hence the amount invested at 7% is $54,000.

& the amount invested at 9% is $156,000.
