Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Devaughn's age is D, and Sydney's age is S.

We know that D is 7 greater than S, so D = 7 + S.

We know that the sum of their ages, or D + S, is equal to 95, so D+S = 95

We have

D = 7 + S

D + S = 95

What we can do is plug D= 7 + S into the second equation to get

D + S = 95

= (7+ S) + S

= 7 + 2 * S

7+2 * S - 95

subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the coefficient and the variable

2 * S = 88

divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

S = 44

Sydney is therefore 44 years old

The answer is 6,811.1

The reason the 0 moved up to a 1 is because the number in the hundredth place was 5 or over. If it were 4 or under, then it would have remained a 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of course it is MEGA, it is a common sense for everyone to know that buying bigger bulk results in cheaper price. But I will do the math for you:

MEGA size: 5 / 29.4 = 0.17 dollars per pound

Family size: 3.64 / 19.5 = 0.19 dollars per pound
