Luis plans to purchase some new baseball bats and gloves before spring training begins. Luis wants to buy the same bats and glov

es he purchased last spring, but he can’t remember the price of each item. Luis recalls making two purchases last spring, each totaling $135 and both tax exempt. The first purchase was for a glove and three bats. The second purchase was for two gloves and a bat. If the current prices of these items are the same as last spring, how much will Luis pay this spring for three gloves and four bats?

Answer:

Luis will pay for three gloves and four bats = $ 270

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bats be represented by b and gloves by g, then according to the given conditions

3b+ g= $135----equation 1

b+ 2g= $135------equation 2

Subtracting equation 2 from eq. 1 gives

3b+ g= $135----equation 1

<u>-b -2g= -$135------equation 2</u>

<u>2b -g = 0 --------- equation3</u>

2b-g= 0

or 2b= g------ equation4

This means price of 2 bats is equal to price of 1 glove.

Putting value of g in eq. 1 from eq. 4

3b+ 2b= $ 135

5b= $135

b= 135/5= 27

Price of 1 bat = $ 27 and price of 1 glove= 2*27= $54

Luis will pay for three gloves and four bats

= 54*3 + 4*27

= 162+ 108

= $ 270

(01.02 HC) Marla has $95.50 in her savings account. She deposits $5 every week. Her mother also deposits $20 into the account ev
stepan [7]
Part A:

Variable is a symbol for a number we don't know yet. It is usually a letter like x or y but can be any letter. 
Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is the variable.

Hence, the variables are c and w. [ Choose any one for your answer ]

Coefficient is any number used to multiply a variable.
<span>Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient.
</span>
Hence, the coefficients are 20 and 5. [Choose any one for your answer]

A constant is a<span> fixed value which does not change regardless of the variables entered.
</span>
Hence, the constant is 95.50

Part B:

Weeks saved (w) = 20

Cars washed (c) = 5

20c + 5w + 95.50 = (20 * 5) + (5 * 20) + 95.50 = 100 + 100 + 95.50 = 295.50

Hence, Marla will have $ 295.50 in her account.

Part C:

In <span>20c + 5w + 95.50, Marla's mom deposits $ 20 after every car wash.

If Marla's mom deposits only $ 10 after every car wash, then, the new equation would be : 10</span><span>c + 5w + 95.50

Hence, the coefficient will change from 20 to 10. </span>
