Set up ratio problem
.2 oz butter / (1/15) lb jelly = x / 1 lb jelly
Then cross multiply the stuff opposite each other in the fractions... set it up as a multiplication problem
.2 × 1 = (1/15) × x
.2 = (1/15)x
Multiply both sides of equation by 15 to clear out the (1/15) fraction and get x
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation + Answer:
x = 1st job
y = 2nd job
x + y = 22......x = 22 - y
7x + 8.25y = 171.50
7(22 - y ) + 8.25y = 171.50
154 - 7y + 8.25y = 171.50
-7y + 8.25y = 171.50 - 154
1.25y = 17.50
y = 17.50 / 1.25
y = 14 <== 14 hrs at the 8.25 per hr job
x + y = 22
x + 14 = 22
x = 22 - 14
x = 8 <=== 8 hrs at the 7 per hr job
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula is
Interest=loan ×interest rate×time
Solve for the first choice
I=10,000×0.05×5=2500
Solve for the second choice
I=10,000×0.06×7=4200
The difference in the amount of interest
4,200−2,500=1700
Answer:
<h2>y = -4x</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve 20x + 5y = for y
20x + 5y = 0
subtract 20x both sides
5y = -20x
simplify:
y = <u>-20x</u>
5
finally
y = -4x
X=number of books that cost 0.60
y=number of books that cost 0.75
x+y=16
0.6x+0.75y=10.95
solve
multiply second equation by 10 for nicity
6x+7.5y=109.5
multiply first equesiotn by -6 and add to second
-6x-6y=-96
<u>6x+7.5y=109.5 +</u>
0x+1.5y=13.5
1.5y=13.5
divide both sides by 1.5
y=9
sub back
x+y=16
x+9=16
minus 6
x=7
seven 0.60 books and nine 0.75 books
