Answer:
$2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "b" be the price of 1 brownie and "c" the price of 1 cookie.
At a bake sale, a student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. Symbolicaly,
3 b + 5 c = 11.00 [1]
His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies. Symbolicaly,
1 b + 2 c = 3.95
b = 3.95 - 2c [2]
If we replace [2] in [1], we get
3 (3.95 - 2c) + 5 c = 11.00
11.85 - 6c + 5c = 11.00
c = 0.85
If we replace c = 0.85 in [2], we get
b = 3.95 - 2 (0.85) = 2.25
Answer:
C

Number 4
Answer:
$4.50
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 cups = 12 tablespoons
$1.50 yields 4 tablespoons
12 / 4 = 3 purchases at $1.50 = $4.50

Answer:
y = 1.5x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (y2-y2)/(x2-x1)
= (1-4)/(-2-0) = -3/-2 = 3/2
y = (3/2)x + c
When x=0, y=4 (y-intercept is 4)
y = (3/2)x + 4
y = 1.5x + 4
