Cost of milk per carton = $ 70 cents = 70/100 = $0.7
Cost of bread per loaf = $60 cents = 60/100 = $0.6
Cost of cereals per box = $50 cents = 50/100 = $0.5
Cost of meat per pound = $1.50
If x is the number of cartons of milk bought, then
Number of loafs = x/2
Number pf boxes of cereals = x/2 +1
Number of pounds of meat = x/2 +1
Therefore,
0.7*x + 0.6*x/2 + 0.5 (x/2+1) + 1.5 (x/2+1) = 10
0.7x + 0.3x + 0.25x + 0.5 + 0.75x + 1.5 = 10
2x + 2 =10
2x = 8
x = 4
Substituting;
Milk cartons = 4
Number of bread = 4/2 = 2
Boxes of cereals = 2+1 = 3
Pounds of meat = 3
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of mangoes owned by Tulsa be T and that by Julie be J
If Tulsa has 4 times as many mangoes as Julie then
T = 4J
Tulsa bought 6 more mangoes. She now has 5 time as many mangoes as Julie
T + 6 = 5J
Solve both equations simultaneously by substitution
4J + 6 = 5J
Collect like terms
6 = 5J- 4J
J = 6
Since
T = 4J
T = 4 * 6
= 24
Hence Tulsa had 24 mangoes at first
Given :
Natalie is going mountain biking. She can buy a bike for $250 or she can rent a bike for $30 an hour.
In both cases, she must also rent a helmet for $5 an hour.
To Find :
Which inequality shows the number of hours Natalie must bike for the cost of buying a bike to be less than renting a bike.
Solution :
Let, after t hours total money required is ( if she rent bike ).
T = 30t.
Money required to purchase bike , M = $250.
For cost of buying a bike to be less than renting a bike :
Hence, this is the required solution.
These equations do match up. All you have to do is find the solution to the first equation. After that, plug in that solution to the second equation. If it makes the equation true, then the equations match.
Hope this helps!
