Answer:
PR5T represents <em>6754.</em>
P = 6
R = 7
T = 4
Y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us try to understand the subtraction starting from the unit's digit.
P R 5 T
- 4 7 Y 6
-----------------
1 9 9 8
To get 8, 6 should be subtracted from 14
14 - 6 = 8
So, T should be equal unit digit of 14 <em>i.e.</em> T = 4 and 1 should be carried over from the ten's digit of PR5T.
Now, let us move to ten's digit:
P R 5 4
- 4 7 Y 6
-----------------
1 9 9 8
To get 9, 6 should be subtracted from 15. But 1 is already carried to unit's place So, we have actually 14 here
14 - Y = 9
So, Y = 5
Moving to hundred's place:
R - carry - 7 = 9
Carry is 1, so R = unit's place of 9 + 8 i.e. R = 7
Moving to thousand's place:
P - carry - 4 = 1
Here carry is 1
So, P = 1 + 4 + 1 = 6
So, the number PR5T is <em>6754.</em>
3x-7=5x=19
3x-7-5x=5x+19-5x
-2x-7=19
-2x-7+7=19+7
-2x=26
-2x/-2=26/-2
x=-13
:) Did you get that?
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
21 is 84% to 25, so there would be 25 total questions on the test
