Answer:

1 hotdog cost $2.25

1 popcorn cost $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of hotdog be and that of popcorn be p

For the first hour;

15p + 14h = 84 •••• (i)

for the second hour;

18p + 16h = 99 •••••(ii)

so we want to solve these two equations simultaneously

In equation 1,

14h = 84-15p

h = (84-15p)/14

Simply insert this into equation ii

18p + 16(84-15p)/14 = 99

Multiply through by 14

252p + 1344 - 240p = 1386

1386-1344 = 252p-240p

12p = 42

p = 42/12

p = $3.5

to get cost of hotdogs;

h = (84-15p)/14

Substitute p = 3.5

h = (84-52.5)/14

h = 31.5/14

h = 2.25

What is the d value of the following arithmetic sequence? 5, 2, -1, -4, -7,…
Andrew [12]
The d value is going to be -3 because you have to compute the differences of all the adjacent terms. 2-5=-3    -1-2=-3     -4-(-1)=-3   -7-(-4)=-3   The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to -3

Which is greater 1/4 or 3/4
grigory [225]
<span>If we are to compare which among the given fractions is smaller, we first determine the decimal equivalent of each. If we are to solve for those, we determine that 3/4 is equal to 0.75 and 1/4 is equal to 0.25. This is done by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Comparing 0.75 and 0.25, we can conclude that 0.75 or 3/4 is greater compared to 0.25 or 1/4. </span>

Compare and contrast the difference between "simplify a fraction" and "simplify a radical."
Ne4ueva [31]
Simplifying a fraction means most likely having it remain as a fraction and not a whole number and it can be converted as a decimal.

on the other hand, simplifying a radical, you would have no remainders, fractions, or decimals after simplifying.

thats the difference.
