Answer:

The cost of

Regular baskets = x = $20

Deluxe baskets = y = $42

Step-by-step explanation:

The drama club is selling gift baskets to raise money for new costumes.

Let us represent:

The cost of

Regular baskets = x

Deluxe baskets = y

During the fall play, they sold a combined 18 regular gift baskets and 19 deluxe gift baskets, earning a total of $1,158.

Hence:

18x + 19y = 1158....... Equation 1

During the spring musical, they sold 15 regular gift baskets and 12 deluxe gift baskets, earning a total of $804.

15x + 12y = 804...... Equation 2

Combining them two Equations

18x + 19y = 1158....... Equation 1

15x + 12y = 804...... Equation 2

Multiplying Equation 1 by 15 and Equation 2 by 18 to Eliminate x

270x + 285y = 17370..... Equation 3

270x + 216y = 14472...... Equation 4

We Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3.

69y = 2898

y = 2898/69

y = $42

Solving for x

18x + 19y = 1158....... Equation 1

18x + 19 × 42 = 1158

18x + 798 = 1158

18x = 1158 - 798

18x = 360

x = 360/18

x = $20

Therefore,

The cost of

Regular baskets = x = $20

Deluxe baskets = y = $42

Given; D is the Midpoint of CE / Prove DE =1/2CE
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a prove;

Mathematically , since D is the midpoint of CE

Then;

CE = CD + DE

Also, since D splits the line segment into two equal parts as the midpoint, then CD must be equal to DE

I.e CD = DE

Hence, we can express CE as follows;

CE = DE + DE

CE = 2 DE

Divide both sides by 2

CE/2 = DE

Hence; DE = 1/2 CE

Alik [6]

Answer:

25 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that "fits neatly" means "fills" so that the area of the painting is the same as the area of the square. Put the numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic.

A = (5 yd)² = 5² yd² = 25 yd²

There are 120 children there are twice as many boys than girls how many girls are there?
PolarNik [594]
Boys are b
Girls are g

b + g = 120
2g = b

Substitute the second equation into the first

2g + g = 120
3g = 120
g = 40

Plug in g = 40 and solve for b

b + g = 40
b + 40 = 120
b = 80

There are 40 girls and 80 boys.
