The answer is B. She sells each orange for $0.50 and the question is asking for the total amount of money she will make by selling a certain amount of oranges. t represents the total so the equation will to equal to t. c is the number of oranges she will sell so c multiplied by $0.50 will give the total amount of money she will make.
Answer: a) -27, b) 35, c) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
a) When a positive number is multiplied by a negative number, your answer is negative, and since we know that 9 × 3 = 27, and that this figure has to be negative (since 9 is negative), the answer is -27.
b) Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number, and since 7 × 5 = 35, the answer is positive 35 (as both 7 and 5 in the original question are negative).
c) Follows just like b.
The correct answer would be C
Question 1:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of nickels
y: number of dimes
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem.
We have then:
0.05x + 0.10y = 6.10
x + y = 67
Solving the system we have:
x = 12
y = 55
Answer:
there are 12 nickels
Question 2:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: Allan's score
y: Dave's score
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem.
We have then:
x + y = 375
x = 2y-60
Solving the system we have:
x = 230
y = 145
Answer:
Dave: 145 Allan: 230
