Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say s is the cost per pound of strawberry and b is banana.

For Annie we have 9s + 10b = 103.

For Rob we have 9s + 9b = 99.

If you notice the only thing that changes on the left hand sides is a single b. This causes a change of 4 on the right hand side. From this we can see that b = 4. Substituting b=4 in Annie's line we get 9s + 40 = 103 so 9s = 63 so s = 7.

Strawberry costs $7 per pound and banana costs $4 per pound

Jada bought $53 worth of snacks. She used a 10% off coupon. She then paid 8% tax on the original amount. What is the total she p
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The amount which Jada paid after discount and tax is $ 51.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The original price of snacks = $ 53

The price of snacks after applying 10% off coupon = 53 - 10% of 53

Or , The price of snacks after applying 10% off coupon = 53 ( \frac{100-10}{100} )

or, The price of snacks after applying 10% off coupon = 53 × 0.9 = $ 47.7

Now the tax applied on the original amount = 8 % of $ 53

or, the tax applied on the original amount = \frac{8}{100} × 53

or, , the tax applied on the original amount = \frac{424}{100} =$ 4.24

So The total paid amount = $ 47.4 + $ 4.24 = $ 51.64

Hence The amount which Jada paid after discount and tax is $ 51.64 Answer

There is a line that includes the point (1, 6) and has a slope of 4, What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
rewona [7]
It would be y=4x+2 because the slope is four so you would subtract four from six and get (0,4) as your coordinate point (y-intercept)
