Answer:

We suppose that a is the old price in cents

the total cost of 9.20 $ equals 920 cents

so we have 20 liters bought with the old price (a) and 10 liters with the new price (a + 2). This is translated into this equation where a is the old price therefore our quest to be answered

20 xa + 10 x (a + 2) = 920 (cents)

20 xa + 10 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa + 20 = 920

30 xa = 920 - 20

30 xa = 900

a = 900: 30

a = 30 (cents)

therefore the old price for 1 liter of petrol is 30 cents

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

Plss help me as soon as possible i will give you lots of points
mezya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

75x + -300 = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 25x + 200

Reorder the terms:

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving

-300 + 75x = 200 + 25x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-25x' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 75x + -25x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 75x + -25x = 50x

-300 + 50x = 200 + 25x + -25x

Combine like terms: 25x + -25x = 0

-300 + 50x = 200 + 0

-300 + 50x = 200

Add '300' to each side of the equation.

-300 + 300 + 50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: -300 + 300 = 0

0 + 50x = 200 + 300

50x = 200 + 300

Combine like terms: 200 + 300 = 500

50x = 500

Divide each side by '50'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10

You want to buy some rice. A 7-ounce package costs 2.59. A 12- ounce package costs $4.56. An 18-ounce package costs 6.30 which p
Reika [66]

Type 1 rice :

7-ounce package costs = 2.59.

Cost of 1-ounce of Type 1 rice= 2.59/7 = $0.37

Type 2 rice :

12-ounce package costs = $4.56  

Cost of 1-ounce Type 2 rice = 4.56/12 = $0.38

Type 3 rice :

18-ounce package costs  = $ 6.30

Cost of 1-ounce Type 3 rice = 6.30/18 = $0.35.

From the above calculations, we can see that the cost of 1-ounce Type 3 rice is lowest. Therefore, 18-ounce package is Best Buy.
