Answer:

$7.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a linear function (again)

let x = peanuts

let y = almonds

3x+4y=27.45

5x+2y=24.05

Multiple 2nd equation by 2

3x+4y=27.45

10x+4y= 48.1

7x=20.65

x=2.95

Plug in x into either equation

10x+4y= 48.1

29.5+4y=48.1

4y=18.6

y=4.65

4.65+2.95=7.60

The cost of a ticket increases by 10% to £18.15<br> Work out the original cost.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

£16.50

Step-by-step explanation:

$x \times (1+\frac{10}{100} )=18.15$

$x \times \frac{110}{100} =18.15$

$\frac{110}{100} x=18.15$

$1.1x=18.15$

$\frac{1.1x}{1.1}=\frac{18.15}{1.1}$

$x=16.5$

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: rolls of wrapping paper in one week

P (x) = (3.50 - 2) x - 4
P (x) = 1.50x - 4
