Answer: the cost of a milkshake is $2.59
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of a banana split.
Let y represent the cost of a milkshake.
At the ice cream shop, one banana split and five milkshakes cost $16.24. This is expressed as
x + 5y = 16.24- - - - - - - - - - - - -1
If three banana splits and two milkshakes cost $15.05. This is expressed as
3x + 2y = 15.05- - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes
3x + 15y = 48.72
3x + 2y = 15.05
Subtracting, it becomes
13y = 33.67
y = 33.67/13
y = 2.59
Substituting y = 2.59 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 5 × 2.59 = 16.24
x + 12.95 = 16.24
x = 16.24 - 12.95
x = 3.29
The slope is -2/3 or -2 over 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So 18 oranges are 12 percent of her total oranges. You can use Ratio to solve this.
O : P
18 : 12 P = Percentage O = Orange
1.5 : 1
150 : 100
All I did was make the percentage one by dividing both numbers by 12. This makes it 1.5 oranges per percent. Times 1.5 with 100 to make it 100 percent.
Answer:
x(6 + 15y)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this instance, you can divide by a factor of x.
6x/x = 6
15xy/x = 15y
Therefore, we are left with 6 + 15y.
