Answer:
$0.18
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to set up two simultaneous equations
using variables, pencils = p and erasers = e
3 pencils and 2 erasers, the cost is $0.76
3p + 2e = $0.76
2 pencils and 4 erasers, the cost is $1.04.
2p + 4e = $1.04
we now have
3p + 2e = $0.76
2p + 4e = $1.04
to make the number of erasers the same, multiply the first equation by 2 to give 4e
2(3p + 2e = $0.76)
6p + 4e = $1.52
now we have the same number of erasers for both equations
6p + 4e = $1.52
2p + 4e = $1.04
subtract across: 6p - 2p = 4p, 4e - 4e = 0, $1.52 - $1.04 = $0.48
we are left with 4p = $0.48
divide both sides by 4
p = $0.12
1 pencil = $0.12
go back to the start of both equations and use one of them to find 1 eraser. I'll use 3p + 2e = $0.76
input $0.12 in p
3($0.12) + 2e = $0.76
$0.36 + 2e = $0.76
subtract $0.36 on both sides
2e = $0.76 - $0.36
2e = $0.40
divide 2 on both sides
e = $0.20
1 eraser = $0.20
How much more does 1 eraser cost than 1 pencil?
we now know 1 pencil = $0.12 and 1 eraser = $0.20
find the difference between them
$0.20 - $0.12 = $0.18
final answer= $0.18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the difference height (P) is -6 and (t) is 2.85
Δy divided by Δx = rate of change
3-9 = -6
6.23-3.41 = 2.85
then divide
2.85 / -6 = .475
Your answer will be - .475
Step-by-step explanation:
slope another name for gradient
The answer is that the school is going to earn $1.40 for each ticket so thats the answer: $1.40
Answer:
-.1
Step-by-step explanation:
First we do
19-1.67 since left to right
this is 2.3
then we multiply -2.4 with the + sign to get -2.4
then we add 2.3 to -2.4 to get -.1
