The area of the garden would be 192 square feet. When you divide the area of his backyard by the side known, you find the missing side. The missing side is 24, which means that is the other leg of the triangle. By using the area formula for a right triangle you find the answer.

If 2 pounds of bananas cost $1.89, what is the cost per pound? Show your work

OLEGan [10]

You can set up an expression where p = the pounds of bananas.
With that information, 2p =$1.89
To figure out the cost per pound, you want the cost of 1 p. Therefore, you divide both sides by 2.
p = $1.89/2
p = $0.945
(since it is money you normally round to two decimal places so you would say $0.95 or 95 cents)

The florist charges $31.75 for eight roses and five carnations. For one rose and three carnations, it cost $5.75. What is the co

Sedbober [7]

Cost for a carnation is $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Rose = x

Carnation = y

According to given statement;

8x+5y=31.75 Eqn 1

x+3y=5.75 Eqn 2

$Multiplying\ Eqn\ 2\ by\ 8\\8(x+3y=5.75)\\8x+24y=46 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 1\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(8x+24y)-(8x+5y)=46-31.75\\8x+24y-8x-5y=14.25\\19y=14.25\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 19\\\frac{19y}{19}=\frac{14.25}{19}\\y=0.75$
