(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...
... 5x = 6(x -1.75)
(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.
... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x
... 0 = x -10.50
... 10.50 = x
(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50
... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value
(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
Answer:
Number of cookies sold by the Yummy Company = 32.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cookies sold by the yummy company be x.
Then the number of pies sold by The Chipper Bakery is 3/4 x.
When they have 16, more we have:
Number sold by the Yummy company is x + 16 and the number sold by the Bakery is 5/6 (x + 16)
So x + 3/4x + 2(16) = x + 16 + 5/6(x + 16)
= 7/4 x + 32 = 11/6 x + 16 + 80/6
7/4 x - 11/6x = 16 + 80/6 - 32
-1/12 x = -2 2/3
x = -8/3 * -12
x = 32.
It can be 8:12 or as a fraction it’s 8/12
