Karla has spent $42 on food. She bought milk, cheese, and meat. The milk cost half as much as the cheese and the meat cost four

times as much as the cheese. What equation would help you find the cost of the cheese?

M = milk

C= cheese

X=meat

milk = 0.5c

meat = 4c

cheese = 1c

<span>4 +0.5 = 1c  = 5.5c</span>

 

C= 42/5.5 = 7.64

X = 7.64 x 4 = 30.56

M =7.64 * 0.5 = 4.67

 

30.56 + 3.82 + 7.64 = approximately $42

Hello from MrBillDoesMath

Answer:     + 4/7,   6 (13/14)

Discussion:

Let L be the larger of the two numbers and S the smaller of the two. Then the first sentence translates into this:


-6L - L = -4  =>

-7L = -4        =>          (divide both sides by -7)

L = - (-4)/(-7) = + 4/7       (*)


The second sentence translates to

2 (L + S) = 15  =>               (divide both sides by 2)

(L +S) = 15/2  =>                (subtract L from each side)

S = 15/2 - L = 15/2 - 4/7    (using (*) above)

So

S = 15*7/(2*7) - (4*2)/(7*2)       (combine over common denominator of 14)

S = 105/14 - 8/14 = 97/14 = 6 13/14

Something is crazy here!    While 2(L +S) = 15  -- check it out -- our larger number L ( =4/7) is actually smaller than the S number (6 13/14)!  Maybe I should have called them Y and X, respectively, as you suggested!

Thank you,

Mr. B

A car’s original price was $26,500. Mr. Thomas paid $19,610. What percent discount did Mr. Thomas receive on the car?
geniusboy [140]
26,500 - 19,610 = 6,890

6,890 would be your price discount, but now you'd have to find your percent discount. Make it into an equation to make things easier.

6,890/26,500 = p/100

(6,890*100)/26,500 = p

6,890*100 = 689,000

689,000/26,500 = 26

The price discount would be 26%.

Find the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x - k) <br> f(x) = 5x4 + 8x3 + 4x2 - 5x + 67; k = 2
yan [13]

It is to be solved by reminder thorem
f(x)/(x-k) will have reminder f(k), 
so, f(2) = 5*(2^4) + 8 *(2^3) +4* (2^2) -5(2) +67

             =5*16 + 8*8 +4*4 -5*2 +67
             =80 + 64 + 16 -10 +67

             = 217
