Answer:

j = $7

b = $12

c = $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

j = cost of one pound of jelly

b = cost of one pound of Bonbon

c = cost of one pound of chocolate

First week:

two pounds of Jellies and two pounds of Bonbons for $38.

2j + 2b = 38

Second week:

two pounds of Jellies and four pounds of Chocolates for $74

2j + 4c = 74

Third week:

two pounds of Jellies, two pounds of Bonbons and one pound of Chocolates for $53.

2j + 2b + c = 53

Recall,

2j + 2b = 38

So,

38 + c = 53

c = 53 - 38

= 15

c = $15

Substitute c = 15 into

2j + 4c = 74

2j + 4(15) = 74

2j + 60 = 74

2j = 74 - 60

2j = 14

j = 14/2

= 7

j = $7

Substitute j = 7 into

2j + 2b = 38

2(7) + 2b = 38

14 + 2b = 38

2b = 38 - 14

2b = 24

b = 24/2

= 12

b = $12

Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise
Katarina [22]

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

<em><u>Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months</u></em>

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.

HELP ME!!! 25 POINTS!!
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The total distance walked by Paulo is 3750 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the four points are<em> (-2,1) (-2,-7) (5,-7) (5,1)</em>

Moving from stop A to B, only the y coordinate changes,

the change is ,

=1-(-7) = 1+7 = 8 units

Moving from stop B to C, only the x coordinate changes,

the change is ,

=5-(-2) = 5+2 = 7 units

Moving from stop C to D, only the y coordinate changes,

the change is

=1-(-7) = 1+7 = 8 units

Moving from stop D to A, only the x coordinate changes,

the change is

=5-(-2) = 5+2 = 7 units

Thus, the total distance traveled is 8+7+8+7 = 30 units

It is given that <em>1 unit = 125 feet</em>

Thus, the total distance traveled is = (125)(30) = 3750 feet

The total distance walked by Paulo is 3750 feet.
