Answer:

  • apple $9
  • pumpkin $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'p' stand for the prices of apple and pumpkin pies, respectively. Then the two sales are described by ...

  4a +5p = 86

  8a +2p = 92

Subtract half the second equation from the first to eliminate the 'a' variable.

  (4a +5p) -(1/2)(8a +2p) = (86) -(1/2)(92)

  4p = 40 . . . . . simplify

  p = 10 . . . . . . . divide by 4

Substitute into the first equation:

  4a + 5(10) = 86

  4a = 36 . . . . . subtract 50

  a = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 4

One apple pie costs $9; one pumpkin pie costs $10.

Bill and Joe leave their house at the same time heading in opposite directions. If Bill is driving three times faster than Joe a
Arisa [49]

The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.

The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.

The speed ratio is ...

... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1

so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...

... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.

Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
