Answer:

The system of equations is given as:

x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1

1.8x + 1.8y = 4.05....Equation 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiran says, "I bought 2.5 pounds of red and yellow lentils. Both were $1.80 per pound. I spent a total of $4.05

Let

x represent red lentils

y represent yellow lentils.

x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1

x = 2.5 - y

$1.80 × x + $1.80 × y = $4.05

1.80x + 1.80y = 4.05....Equation 2

The system of equations is given as:

x + y = 2.5 .... Equation 1

1.8x + 1.8y = 4.05....Equation 2

What is 9.5% in a decimal
Delvig [45]
Percentage means 'out of 100 100 '. Convert the decimal number to a fraction by shifting the decimal point in both the numerator and denominator. Since there is 1 1 number to the right of the decimal point, move the decimal point 1 1 place to the right.
