Let the cost of a chicken be x and the cost of a duck, y, then

50x + 30y = 550 . . . (1)
44x + 36y = 532 . . . (2)

(1) x 6 ⇒ 300x + 180y = 3,300 . . . (3)
(2) x 5 ⇒ 220x + 180y = 2,660 . . . (4)

(3) - (4) ⇒ 80x = 640
⇒ x = 640 / 80 = 8

From (1): 50(8) + 30y = 550
⇒ 30y = 550 - 400 = 150
⇒ y = 150 / 30 = 5

Therefore, the price of a chicken is $8 and the price of a duck is $5.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

$2.85

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add the bill up ($8.70 + $10.30 = 19). So now you need to find what 15% of $19 is...To find the percentage of something you need to turn it into a decimal, 0. (whatever the percentage number is). So in this case, 19 times 0.15, which is a tip of $2.85.

Two points a and b are on opposite sides of a building. a surveyor selects a third point c to place transit. point c is 62 feet
lorasvet [3.4K]
Okay, so basically you are going to use the Pythagorean Theorem which states: If a right triangle has sides a and b and hypotenuse c then a2+b2=c2.
You already have the distance between AC and BC so you want to figure out the distance between AB. All you have to do is plug in the information. If you draw out a picture, it will help you to visualize it. 
I believe the answer is 26...
