Answer:

Cost of One Journal =  $3.99

Cost of One pen =  $0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cost of One Journal = x

Cost of One pen = y

We can make equation from given statements.

Mr. Bowden purchases 18 journals and 40 pencils for $95.42.

18x+40y=95.42

Ms. Jacinto purchases 11 journals and 16 pencils for $53.33.

11x+16y=53.33

Now solving these equations to find the value of x

18x+40y=95.42--eq(1)\\11x+16y=53.33--eq(2)

Multiply eq(1) with 2 and eq(2) with 5

36x+80y=190.84\\55x+80y=266.65\\-\:\:\:\:-\:\:\:\;\:\:\:\:\:\:\:-\\---------\\-19x=-75.81\\x=\frac{-75.81}{-19}\\x=3.99\\

We get the value of x is: x=3.99

Now, putting value of x in equation 1 to find value of y.

18x+40y=95.42\\18(3.99)+40y=95.42\\71.82+40y=95.42\\40y=95.42-71.82\\40y=23.6\\y=\frac{23.6}{40}\\y= 0.59

So, we get the value of y: y = 0.59

Now, finding the costs:

Cost of One Journal = x = $3.99

Cost of One pen = y = $0.59

PLEASE HELP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIST ​
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

3/50 7/50 40/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. I'm not exactly a math wiz but I think you may be overthinking this. Experimental probability should be the probability from the experiment right. It's in the name. In chemistry if it's a well established value it's called a theoretical value or probability. So the answer should just be the probability from the said experiment. No other funky math terms are given here which clues me to the idea that it might just be this simple.

Housing costs are what percentage of monthly net income? Use the budget sheet to calculate. Round your answer to the nearest who
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating percent is

% = (cost of item/total cost) × 100 %

% = (cost of item/1875) × 100 %

% = (cost of item/18.75) %  

You can use the same formula to calculate the percent for each item in the budget. For example,

Housing: % = 420/18.75 = 22 %

You can do this for each budget item and get the table below.

\begin{array}{lrr}\text{Expense} & \text{Cost} & \%\\\text{Housing} & 430 & 22\\\text{Food} & 300 & 16\\\text{Utilities} & 125 & 7\\\text{Transportation} & 320 & 17\\\text{Savings} & 500 & 27\\\text{Other} & 200 & 11\\\text{TOTAL} & 1875 & 100\\\end{array}
