Answer:

\$15.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Rand initially starts with 18 pounds of meat. After cutting steaks weighing  pound 15 ounces, 3 and 1/8 pounds, and 4 and 1/2 pounds, he will have:

18-1.9375-3.125-4.5=8.4375 pounds of meat left (there are 16 ounces in a pound).

Since he sells patties that measure 9 ounces, convert 8.4375 pounds to ounces:

8.4375\text{ lbs}\cdot 16\text{ oz/lb}=135\text{ oz}

Because each patty is 9 ounces, he can make \frac{135}{9}=15 patties. He sells 3 of them for $3.12, meaning the price per patty is \frac{\$ 3.12}{3}=\$1.04.

Therefore, he makes 1.04\cdot 15=\boxed{\$15.60}

The percent discount is 30%.
If you multiply $32 by .30, you will get $9.60. That is the amount of the discount. If you subtract $9.60 from $32, you will get $22.40 which is what he paid before tax. Therefore the percent discount is 30%.

What is the answer to - 5y = - 5 and. 7x +6y=7
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(1/7, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By "answer," you probably meant "solution."  What is the "solution of the system of linear equations

- 5y = - 5

+ 7x +6y=7

The first eqation can be solved for y:  y = 1.  Substitute 1 for y in the secon equation.  Then 7x + 6(1) = 7, or 7x = 1, or x = 1/7.

The solution to this system is (1/7, 1)

Solve for (y)(x)<br> x-y=1<br> 1/2x+y=5
TEA [102]
Using addition

x-y+1/2x+y=1+5
x+1/2x+0y=6
3/2x=6
\frac{3}{2}x=6
3x=12
x=4

Using the value of x
x-y=1
4-y=1
y=3

With x as 4 and y as 3, their product is 12
And can be written as (4,3)

If 17 is 32 than what does 17+17+17+17+17=?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The answer is 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

There really should be no answer to this. It sort of destroys the meaning of equality. However, you might be working in different bases. I'll assume that, but the base will be a fraction, which brings up other problems.

Solution

You have 5 17s there. So you will need five 32s. 5 * 32 = 160

The answer is 160
