Answer:
$11.10 per gallon.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the cost of a gallon of oil currently is 1.85×4=$7.40
If the gallon price of oil goes up 50% then our answer is: 7.40×
=
=11.1
The price of oil in March will be $11.10 per gallon.
Answer:
-14
Step-by-step explanation:
just like 8+6 = 14
-8-6 = -14
Your slope with the equation y = -x + 6 is m = -1
Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17 -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.
