Answer:

the price of the drink to the nearest cent is $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bag of popcorn = b

1 drink = d

Amelia spends this:

6b + 3d = 18.00

6b = 18 - 3d

b = 18/6 -3d/6

b = 3 - 1/2*d

Nora spends this:

5b + 9d = 31.25

9d = 31.25 - 5b

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b

now substitute d = 31.25/9 -5/9*b in b = 3 - 1/2*d

d = 31.25/9 -5/9*(3 - 1/2*d)

d = 31.25/9 -15/9 + 5/18d

18/18d - 5/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

13/18d = 31.25/9 -15/9

d = 18/13 * ( 31.25/9 -15/9 )

d = 2,5

The price of a drink is $2.50

EXTRA

now substitute d = 2,5 in b = 3 - 1/2*d

b = 3 - 1/2*(2.5)

b = 3 - 1.25

b = 1.75

The price of a bag of popcorn is $1.75

Jill had some candy to give to her five
Mama L [17]
She started with 32 pieces.

Explanation: If she had 5 children and each child received 5 pieces, you can determine that she gave her children a total of 25 pieces because 5 x 5 = 25. If she took 7 pieces for herself before giving the rest away, you can determine that she had 32 pieces of candy to start with because 25 + 7 = 32.

Michelle needs to buy some wood to build a rectangular box that is 12 inches long 8 inches wide and 10 inches high and net worth
Anettt [7]
Since it’s asking for square inches on a rectangular prism, this is solving for surface area. So we use the following formula:
2(h*w)+2(h*l)+2(w*l)=A

2(10*8)+2(10*12)+2(8*12)
2(80)+2(120)+2(96)
160+240+192
592

592 sq. in.

Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. students in a reading class have three options for their boo
Alexus [3.1K]

The answers to the questions on how she would use the colored chips are given here:

  • brochure 4 blue chips
  • writing a new article 6 yellow chips
  • designing a computer presentation 10 red chips

<h3>How to solve for the values</h3>

For the first percentage

20 / 100 = x/20

= 20 * 20 = 100x

400 = 100x

divide through by 100

x = 400/100

x = 4

For the second percentage

30/100 = x/20

600 = 100x

x = 600/100

x = 6

For the last

50/100 = x/20

1000 = 100x

x = 10

The proof is that 6 + 4 + 10 still gives us 20
