<h3>Jason bought 20 stamps of $0.41 each and 8 postcards of $0.26 each.</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let stamps be s and postcards be p
Given that,
The number of stamps was 4 more than twice the number of postcards
s = 4 + 2p -------- eqn 1
Jason bought both 41-cent stamps and 26-cent postcards and spent $10.28
41 cent = $ 0.41
26 cent = $ 0.26
Therefore,
0.41s + 0.26p = 10.28 --------- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
0.41(4 + 2p) + 0.26p = 10.28
1.64 + 0.82p + 0.26p = 10.28
1.08p = 10.28 - 1.64
1.08p = 8.64
Divide both sides by 1.08
p = 8
Substitute p = 8 in eqn 1
s = 4 + 2(8)
s = 4 + 16
s = 20
Thus Jason bought 20 stamps and 8 post cards
Answer:
$2.47
14.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total of the original prices:
$3.99 + $6.99 + $5.99 = $16.97
He paid $14.50 for the 3 shirts.
$16.97 - $14.50 = $2.47
He saved $2.47.
The percent he saved is
2.47/16.97 × 100% = 14.6%
Answer:
16 packages of muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First you need to find out how many muffins you need total. If each person has two muffins and there are 48 people, how muffins would that be? To find out, multiply 48 and 2 together.
48 * 2 = 96
So now we know that we must have 96 muffins in total
2) Now we have to find out how many muffin packages we will need. If there are 6 muffins in each package and we need to have 96 muffins in total, how many packages will we need? To find out, divide 96 by 6.
96/6 = 16
From this we know that you will need 16 packages
The children brought 2+1+114=414 cups of flour and 14+12+34=112 cups of butter.
They have enough flour for
414÷34===174×43173523
batches and they have enough butter for
112÷13===32×3192412
batches, so the butter is the limiting factor. Thus, they can make 4 whole batches of a dozen cookies each.
