Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first receipt:
2 pounds of grapes + 4 pounds of oranges = 10.70 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:
2g + 4o = 10.70
From the second receipt:
3 pounds of grapes + 2 pounds of oranges = 9.65 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:
3g + 2o = 9.65
Putting those together into a system and solving using the elimination method:
2g + 4o = 10.7
3g + 2o = 9.65
I am going to eliminate the oranges first since it's easier to do that. I will multiply the second equation by -2 to get a new system:
2g + 4o = 10.7
-6g - 4o = -19.3
As you can see, the oranges are eliminated because 4o - 4o = 0o. That leaves us with only the grapes:
-4g = -8.6 so
g = 2.15
Grapes cost $2.15 per pound. Now sub that into either one of the original equations to solve for the cost per pound of oranges:
2(2.15) + 4o = 10.7 and
4.3 + 4o = 10.7 and
4o = 6.4 so
o = 1.60
Oranges cost $1.60 per pound. That is choice D from your list.

Answer:
$98.15
Step-by-step explanation:
2005 is 15 years after 1990. Using the formula we find ...
c(15) = 63·1.03^15 ≈ 63·1.55797
c(15) ≈ 98.152
An ounce of the chemical costs about $98.15 in 2005.

Answer:
8/24
Step-by-step explanation:
8/24 = 1/3 = 0.33333333...
Answer: The lendor will allow for $1500 for the housing expenses.
This lendor is allowing 30% for the debt. So, we start by multiplying 8000 times 0.3 which equals 2400.
However, we have to subtract the current debts of 900.
2400 - 900 = 1500
