Answer:

The number of large size candles sells are 12 and the number of small size candles are 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given Sia sells large candles for $3 each and small candles for $2 each.She sold 17 candles for $46.00.Let us assume that the large size candle sells are x .Let us assume that the small size candle sells are y.             Equation becomes

x + y = 17

3x + 2y = 46

Multiply x + y = 17 by 3 and subtracted from 3x + 2y = 46 .

3x - 3x + 2y - 3y = 46 - 51

-y = - 5

y = 5

Put in the equation x + y = 17 .

x + 5 = 17

x = 17 - 5

x = 12

Therefore the number of large size candles sells are 12 and the number of small size candles are 5

A 90 oz. bottle of shampoo is sold for $18.95. What is the price per ounce
Veseljchak [2.6K]

This sets up as a very commonly  used proportion.

90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x             Cross multiply

90 x = 18.95                              Divide by 90

x = 18.95 / 90

x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the  smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.

Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.

What is 119 times 31%
andrezito [222]

Answer:

61.69?

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you asking what 31% of 119 is? If so, then the answer would be 61.69.

Because (119)0.31=61.69

(To make a percent, you take a decimal out of 1, and multiply. 0.31 would be 31, because we would multiply it by 100, becuase you can only get to 100%. Then you woukd do the opposite, reverse it by dividing by 100. Which then, you would get 0.31)

Hope that helped.
