Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Peanuts cost $2 a bag
Almonds cost $2.50 a bag
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, write a system of equations using the information given.
- "a small case contains 10 bags of almonds and 25 bags of peanuts for $75" translates to 10a+25p=75
- "a large case comtains 40 bags of almonds and 60 bags of peanuts for $220" translates to 40a+60p=220
Solve by stacking the equations and performing elimination. To eliminate a variable, the coefficients must be the same. To make this so, we will multiply 10a+25p=75 by 4 to become 40a+100p=300. Now stack the equations and subtract:
40a+100p=300
40a+60p=220
----------------------------
0a + 40p=80
p=2 means peanuts cost $2 a bag.
Substitute p=2 into one equation to find a.
10a+25(2)=75
10a+50=75
10a=25
a=2.5 means almonds cost $2.50 a bag.
The answer to this question would be -26
Answer:
$150.5
Step-by-step explanation:
CP of an item = $140
sales tax rate = 7.5%
sales tax amount = sales tax rate of CP
=7.5% of CP
= 7.5/100 * $140
=$1050/100
=$10.5
total cost with tax = CP + tax rate
=$140 + $10.5
=$150.5
The original stock price was $88. On the first day, that increased by $19.40, resulting in a new price of $107.40.
On the second day, that $107.40 decreased by 5 3/4%. To obtain the new stock price, subtract 5 3/4% from 100% and mult. $107.40 by the result (in fractional form):
(100% - 5 3/4%)$107.40 => 0.9425($107.40) = $101.22 (answer)
