Answer:
a. $2.18
b. $15.60
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Price per pound of American cheese = $4.35 / 0.75 = $5.8
Price per pound of Swiss cheese = $7.98
Difference in price per pound = $7.98 - $5.8 = $2.18
b. Total amount spent on swiss cheese = $7.98 x 2.5 = $19.95
Amount spent more on Swiss cheese than on American cheese = $19,95 - $4.35 = $15.60
Y=2x
y is the amount of money made from the sold books
x is the number of books that are sold (it is x because you don't know how many will be sold, so you have to account for all possibilities)
2x is because every book is sold for 2 dollars, so that mean x is multiplied by 2 to get y
In order for you to get the answer you must divide. Find a number the goes into both 9 and 81. You're lucky 81 is a multiple of 9. So we can use 9. So 9/81 divided by 9.
9/9=1
81/9=9
So 9/81=1/9
