Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.
As per given,
3x+3y=11.25 (i)
4x+2y=10 (ii)
Multiply 4 to equation (i)
12x+12y=45 (iii)
12x+6y= 30 (iv)
Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get
6y= 15
⇒ y = 2.5
Put value of y in (i)
3x+3(2.5)=11.25
⇒3x+7.5=11.25
⇒3x= 3.75
⇒x= 1.25
Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
Answer:
C
4
3) 8
4) 5.25 cups
3) cross multiply:
36 × 10 = 360
45 × x = 45x
equate them both:
360 = 45x
divide both sides by 45
360 ÷ 45 = 8
x = 8
4) 8 people : 3 cups of flour
14 people : how many cups?
14 ÷ 8 = 1.75
to get from 8 people to 14 people we multiply by 1.75, so do the same thing to the 3 cups:
3 × 1.75 = 5.25 cups
