Water = 5 bottles * $0.90 = $4.50
meat = 8 pounds * x amount.
Total = water + meat prices = $26.90
26.90 = $4.50 + 8x
22.40 = 8x
2.8 = x
The price per pound of meat is $2.80.
N(1/5) = (2/15)
divide both sides by (1/5)
n = (2/15)/(1/5)
to divide fractions, cross multiply, e.g. (2*5)/(15*1) = 10/15
n = 10/15 = 2/3 or 0.666666.
Y=2.5(7)-1.5
Y=17.5-1.5
Y=16
The answer is Y=16
