Answer:

C. $16.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost per pound of salmon be represented by x

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y

Melissa buys 2 1/2 pounds of salmon and 1 1/4 pounds of swordfish. She pays a total of $31.25

2.5 × x + 1.25× y = $31.25

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

The swordfish costs $0.20 per pound less than the salmon.

y = x - 0.20

Hence, we substitute

2.5x + 1.25y = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25(x - 0.20) = 31.25

2.5y + 1.25x - 0.25 = 31.25

2.5x + 1.25x = 31.25 + 0.25

3.75x = 31.5

x = 31.5/3.75

x = $8.4

The cost per pound of salmon be represented by x = $8.4

y = x - 0.20

y = 8.4 - 0.20

y = $8.2

The cost per pound of swordfish be represented by y = $8.2

The cost of a pound of salmon and sword fish

= $8.4 + $8.2

=$16.60

Beth made wristbands and belts for a craft sale. She sold 30 of these items. Each wristband sold for $5.50. Each belt sold at $8
baherus [9]

<u>✿</u><u>Answer:</u>

  • Both sold 18 wristbands and 12 belts

✂----------------------

Let, number of wristbands = x

number of belts = y

x+y=30  ➞ x~5.5

5.50x+8.75y=204 x1

5.50x+5.5y=165\\5.5x+8.75y=204\\---------\\-3.25y=-39

y=-39/3.25

y=12

x=30-12=18

So, Both~ sold ~18 ~wristbands ~and ~12~ belts.

Jill drives 75 1/3 miles every hour how many miles can Jill Drive in 8 and 3/4 hours
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
First, multiply 75 by 8 to get 600. 
Then multiply 1/3 by 8 to get 8/3 or 2 2/3. 
Add those together to get 602 2/3. 

Next multiply 1/3 by 3/4 by multiplying the numerator by 3 and the denominator by 4. That is 3/12. Also known as 1/4. 
Multiply 75 by 3/4 by dividing it by 4 then multiplying it by 3. That is 56 1/4. 
Add 56 1/4 and 1/4 together to get 56 1/2. 

Lastly, add together 56 1/2 and 602 2/3.
Convert the fractions to sixths.
56 3/6 + 602 4/6 = 659 1/6 miles
Hope this helps!
