Answer:
A cantaloupe costs $4
Step-by-step explanation:
Watermelons = W
Cantaloupes = C
Write given statements as equations
5W + 6C = 54
4W + 8C = 56
Simplify the second equation
4W + 8C = 56
Subtract 8C from both sides of the equation
4W = 56 - 8C
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
W = 14 - 2C
Substitute into second equation
5W + 6C = 54
5(14 - 2C) + 6C = 54
Multiply 5(14 - 2C)
70 - 10C + 6C = 54
Add -10C + 6C
70 - 4C = 54
Add 4C to both sides of the equation
70 = 54 + 4C
Subtract 54 from both sides of the equation
16 = 4C
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
C = 4
A cantaloupe costs $4
5W + 6(4) = 54
Multiply 6(4)
5W + 24 = 54
Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation
5W = 30
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
W = 6
A cantaloupe costs $4
A watermelon costs $6
Hope this helps :)
She can expect to pick a black marble 125 times
The answer is :23
B:34
C:56
Old price: 1,137.50 / 350 = 3.25
New price (at least): 1,500 / 350 = 4.3 (result is rounded)
36 I believe sorry if it’s wrong what I did was multiply 2x 18 have I nice day good luck!
