Answer:
0.52 dollars per banana
Step-by-step explanation:
We would want a unit rate where 1 is the denominator
So we would divide the top and bottom by 75
39 dollars/75 bananas divided by 75
= 0.52/per 1 banana
Think of this situation as a system of equations.
let y be the price of hotdogs
let x be the price of hamburgers
5y + 2x = 8
2y + 5x = 9.50
now use your solution method of choice
substitution, elimination, matrices, etc
Is the answer 25? Thats what I got.
Hey there Jefferymcdougl1,
Answer:
Brand X:
5 pounds = $43
1 pound = $43 / 5
= $8.60
Brand Y:
3 pounds = $27
1 pound = $27 / 3
= $9
Thus, Brand X is a better buy as Brand Y costs $0.40 more than Brand x
Hope this helps :D
