Answer:
The price of a drink = $4
The price of a bag of popcorn = $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent popcorn and d represent drink
Harper bought 10 bags of popcorn and 6 drinks and paid $79 ➡ 10p + 6d = $79
Damian bought 3 bags of popcorn and 5 drinks and paid $36.50 ➡ 3p + 5d = $36.50
Now multiply first equation by -3 and second equation by 10
-3 × (10p + 6d) = $79 ➡ -30p - 18d = -$237
10 × (3p + 5d) = $36.50 ➡ 30p + 50d = $365
Now add the new equationd
30p + 50d -30p - 18d = $365 - $237 (-30p will eliminate 30p)
32d = $128 divide both sides of the equation by 32
32 ÷ 32d = 32 ÷ $128 ➡ d = 4
If d = 4 that means a drink costs $4 we can use this information to find the price of a bag of popcorn
3p + 5d = $36.50 (replace d with 4)
3p + 4×5 = $36.50
3p + 20 = $36.50
3p = $36.50 - 20
3p = 16.50 divide both sides by 3
p = $5.5

Butoxors [25]

Answer: \dfrac{b}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Let b = Total number of books.

Total shelves = 5

Number of books on each shelf = (Total number of books) ÷ (Total shelves)

= b  ÷ 5

=\dfrac{b}{5}

The required expression for the number of books on each shelf = \dfrac{b}{5}

What is the value for y
Klio2033 [76]
Hey there,

I believe but I'm not quite sure, I believe that the correct answer would be 42 because by subtracting 79-37, that should give you y.

Hope this helps. (forgive any errors.)
