Answer:

The D cells are worth $2.20, and the C cells are worth $1.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as:

4x + 2y = 12.60

6x + 4y =20.80

Our goal is to find one variable, then use that information to find the other.

If we multiply the top function by -1.5, we get:

-6x - 3y = -18.90

We can add this to the previous equation.

  -6x - 3y = -18.90

+ 6x + 4y = 20.80

--------------------------

             y = 1.90

The C cells are worth $1.90.

Plug this value into one of the other equations and solve for x.

4x + 2y = 12.60  

4x + 2(1.90) = 12.60

4x + 3.80 = 12.60  

4x = 8.80

x = 2.20

The D cells are worth $2.20.

Check these values in the other equation.

6x + 4y = 20.80

6(2.20) + 4(1.90) = 20.80

13.20 + 7.60 = 20.80

20.80 = 20.80

Answer:

  C = $1.90 each

  D = $2.20 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  Power pack A:   4D + 2C = 12.60

  Power pack B:   6D + 4C = 20.80

Isolate any one variable:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D = 12.60 - 2C

  D = 3.15 - 0.5C

Substitution to find cost of C cell battery:

  6D + 4C = 20.80

  6(3.15 - 0.5C) + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 - 3C + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 + C = 20.80

  C = 1.90

Substitution to find cost of D cell battery:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D + 2(1.90) = 12.60

  4D + 3.8 = 12.60

  4D = 8.8

  D = 2.20

Brainly the owner of a hat store buys a hat for 5.50 he uses a markup rate up 105% what is the sale price of the hat
nirvana33 [79]

11.275 is the sale price of the hat

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Brainly the owner of a hat store buys a hat for 5.50 and he uses a mark-up rate is 105%. Need to find out what is the sale price of the hat.

Here, given data, cost price of hat = 5.5. Let the selling price of hat be x and find the data as asked in question,

                \text {Markup rate}=\frac{S . P .-C . P .}{S . P .} \times 100

                105=\frac{x-5.5}{5.5} \times 100

                \frac{105 \times 5.5}{100}=x-5.5

                \frac{577.5}{100}=x-5.5

               5.775 + 5.5 = x

Where,

S.P - sale price

C.P - cost price

Therefore, x = 11.275 is the sale price of the hat.
