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

An elevator is on the twentieth floor. It goes down 11 floors and then up 5 floors. What floor is the elevator now
Llana [10]
To solve problems like this, we must simply break it down and read each part carefully. We can also set it up as a math problem to make it easier to visualize.

The elevator starts on the twentieth floor, so we will represent that with 20.

20

It goes down 11 floors, so we can represent that with a -11.

20-11=9

Now we are on floor 9. Then, we go up 5 floors, so we can represent that with a 5.

9+5=14

Using the math above, we can see the elevator is on the 14th floor.

(?,3) is on the line y=2x+5 find the other coordinate
Lerok [7]
Think about this. What do the numbers in a coordinate stand for? They stand for X and Y. If you're trying to figure out what the X is, wouldn't you be solving for x? And didn't they just give you an equation? ;) First off, do you see how the "Y" value is given to you in the coordinate? All you have to do is substitute that 3 in for the "y" in the equation! 3=2x+5. Hey.... that looks like a simple equation! First, you need to subtract 5 from the other side of the equation. Now you're left with 2x=-2. Divide both sides by 2, and you get that x=-1. Now, just substitute that "x' value into the coordinate, and your answer should come out to be (-1, 3). :D

Tanya has a garden with a trench around it. The garden is a rectangle with length 2.5m and width 2m. The trench and the garden t
Drupady [299]

Answer:

5.5m^2

the area of just the trench is 5.5 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of trench only is the total area(trench and garden) minus the Area of garden

Area of trench only = total area(trench and garden) - Area of garden

Area = length × breadth

Substituting the given dimensions;

Total area = 3.5 × 3 = 10.5 m^2

Area of garden = 2.5×2 = 5 m^2

Area of trench only = 10.5 m^2 - 5 m^2

Area of trench only = 5.5m^2

the area of just the trench is 5.5 m^2

adell [148]

Answer:

The answer is $2041.67 approx.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loretta’s income last year was $81,300.

Amount made in salary = $56,800

So, additional passive income is = 81300-56800=24500 dollars

Given that Loretta earned the same amount of passive income each month for the entire year.

So, her per month passive earning was = \frac{24500}{12}=2041.67 dollars

Therefore, the answer is $2041.67 approx.
