Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the cost of a box of cereal and let m represent the cost of a jug of milk.

Create a system of equations:

2c + m = 8.5

3c + 2m = 14

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:

-4c - 2m = -17

3c + 2m = 14

Add them together and solve for c:

-c = -3

c = 3

So, a box of cereal costs $3

Factor the numerator and factor the denominator.

\frac{x^2 + 5x - 36}{x^2 - 16} =  \frac{(x +9)(x - 4)}{(x + 4)(x - 4)} =  \frac{x+9}{x+4}

Then you divide the numerator and the denominator by the common factor to reduce the fraction.

Given;

Nar donated to 4 charities last year. She gave £175 to each of these charities.

The total amount Nar donated is;

Nar = 4 × £175 = £700

For Rana to donate the same amount equally among 6 charity, to determine the amount each charity would receive this year, we need to divide the total amount by the number of charities;

A = £700/6
