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.

(1/2)x+b=y because the equation that given the slope is 1/2 if you leave y alone and take the x’s number

put the point now , 4+b=3 so b is -1

the equation is (1/2)x-1=y
