Answer:

$4.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

The cost of a

Packet of tea = x

Packet of coffee = y

Five packets of tea and seven of coffee cost $39.40

5x + 7y = 39.40.....Equation 1

Three packets of tea and five of coffee cost $26.20.

3x + 5y = 26.20.......Equation 2

Combining both Equations

5x + 7y = 39.40.....Equation 1

3x + 5y = 26.20.......Equation 2

Multiply Equation 1 by 5 and Equation 2 by 7 to eliminate y

25x + 35y = 197.... Equation 3

21x + 35y = 183.4......Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from 3

3x = 13.6

x = 13.6/3

x = $4.53

Therefore, the cost of a packet of tea is $4.53

You are still debating about the two different computers. If you are paid $10.00/hour and your deductions are FICA (7.65%), fede
sattari [20]

Answer:

89 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve all the deductions.

For each multiply the $10, which you are paid, and the percentage.

For FICA: $10 x 0.0765 = $0.77 per hr

For Fed tax: $10 x 0.12 = $1.2 per hr

For State tax: $10  x 0.08 = $0.8 per hr

Now subtract the remaining pay:

10 – 0.77 – 1.2 – 0.8 = $7.23

Time required = $640 / $7.23 per hr

Time required = 89 hrs

Final answer:

89 hours

A rhombus is cut along the diagonals to make four triangles. Which three statements are correct for any rhombus? 1) All four tri
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

1). All four triangles are right-angled.

3.) All four triangles are congruent.

4) Area of a rhombus = 4 x area of one triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a rhombus is cut into four triangles using diagonals, the three statements that would apply to any rhombus would be that 'all those four triangles would be right-angled,' 'the triangles would be congruent to one another,' and 'area of one triangle * 4 would be equal to the area of the rhombus.'

As we know, the diagonals bisect one another in a rhombus at 90° and the angles opposite to one another are equal. This <u>proves that all four triangles constructed through the diagonals would be ≅ through SSS congruency and perpendicular to one another because the corresponding edges of the congruent triangles are also ≅</u> . Since the rhombus is divided into four equal parts, the area of one triangle into four would be equals to the area of the rhombus. Thus, <u>options 1, 3, and 4</u> are the correct answers.
