Answer

Find out the how much does one apple cost .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of bananas be x .

Let us assume that the number of apples be y .

As given

At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost $1.16 .

Than the equation becomes

2x + y = 1.16

one banana and one apple cost $0.71.

Than the equation becomes

x + y = 0.71

Subtracting x + y = 0.71 from 2x + y = 1.16

2x - x + y - y = 1.16 - 0.71

x = 0.45

Put in the equation x + y = 0.71

0.45 + y = 0.71

y = 0.71 - 0.45

y = $0.26

Therefore the cost of the one apple is  $0.26 .

John paid $450 for a new mountain bicycle to sell in his shop. He wants to price it so that he can offer a 10% discount but stil
Ghella [55]

Answer:

$643.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let i be the profit realized from the sale and d be the discount made on the sale:

#John's selling price can be calculated by first adding profit, i to $450, the d to the new price as:

P_n=P_o(1+i)+d[P_o(1+i)]\\=450(1+0.3)+0.1[450(1+0.3)]\\\\\\=450\times 1.3+0.1(450\times1.3)\\\\=585+58.5\\\\=643.50

Hence, John will resell the bike at $643.50

Adult tickets for the zoo are $10.75 each and child tickets are $5.50 each. How much would a family with two adults and three ch
cupoosta [38]
You'd start off by adding the 2 adults together (10.75 + 10.75) which would equal 21.50 dollars. Now you take the three kids together (5.50 +5.50+5.50) which would equal 16.50 dollars.
Now you just take the 16.50+21.50 and add those together---- 38 dollars

Through: (6, 2), perpendicular to<br> y = -x-5 <br> in slope intercept form
True [87]

Answer:

y = x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x-5

Slope of line is -1.

Slope of perpendicular to line is 1.

Point-slope equation for line of slope 1 that passes through (6,2):

y-2 = 1(x-6)

Rearrange equation to slope-intercept form:

y = 1(x-6) + 2

y = x-4
