Answer:

Ms. Dunn bought 7 slices of pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y=24 (1)

0.80x+0.30y=10.70 (2), where:

x is the number of slices of pie

y is the number of cookies

First, you can solve for x in (1):

x=24-y (3)

Next, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

0.80(24-y)+0.30y=10.70

19.2-0.80y+0.30y=10.70

19.2-10.70=080y-0.30y

8.5=0.5y

y=8.5/0.5

y=17

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to be able to find the value of x:

x=24-17

x=7

According to this, the answer is that Ms. Dunn bought 7 slices of pie.

What is the area of the polygon ABCDE?
Setler [38]
The answer is 73.5

To make it a lot easier split the shapes into a rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is a tad easier because the measurements are given here.

5 x 12 = 60 (rectangle area)

To find the triangle find the base then height. The base is 3cm and the height is 9cm (shown above)

9 x 3 = 27
Divide that by 2 because it's a triangle and you get 13.5.

Add those two numbers and voila you have your answer of 73.5.

Uber is now charging a $2.50 flat rate in addition to $0.75 per mile for your ride. Janae can spend at most $13 on her Uber Ride
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

  • B: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Full charge can be expressed as equation:</u>

  • c = 2.5 + 0.75m, where c- charge, m- miles

<u>The limit for charge is $13, then we got inequality:</u>

  • 0.75m + 2.5 ≤ 13
  • 0.75m ≤ 9.5
  • m ≤ 9.5/0.75
  • m ≤ 12.66

Option B: 10 is correct as the only number satisfying the inequality
