Answer:

The two linear equation

x + y = 19.... Equation 1

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65... Equation 2

Nedra purchased

9 Apples and 11 Oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Nedra purchased apples and oranges at the grocery store. which two linear equations can be used to find the number of apples and oranges?

Let the number of apples be represented by x

The number of oranges by represented by y.

Hence,

Apples are $0.55 each and oranges are $0.75 each. If she spent a total of $12.65 for 19 pieces of fruit,

Hence:

x + y = 19..... Equation 1

x = 19 - y

$0.55 × x + $0.75 × y = $12.65

0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65.....Equation 2

Hence: we substitute 19 - y for x in Equation 2

0.55(19 - y) + 0.75y = 12.65

10.45 - 0.55y + 0.75y = 12.65

-0.55y+ 0.75y = 12.65 - 10.45

0.20y = 2.2

y = 2.2/0.20

y = 11 oranges

x = 19 - y

x = 19 - 11

x = 8 Apples

1E. The number 2A5A0A2 is divisible by 99. What is the digit A?
kirza4 [7]

Answer: A = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The digit is 3. If A is 3, the number

2A5A0A2 becomes 2353032. We then divide by 99 and this will be:

= 2353032/99

= 23768

If we use 1, we'll have 2151012. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2151012 / 99

= 21727.39

If we use 2, we'll have 2252022. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2252022 / 99

= 22747.69

If we use 4, we will have 2454042. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2454042 / 99

= 24788.30

If we use 5, we will have 2555052. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2555052 / 99

= 25808.61

If we use 6, we will have 2656062. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2656062 / 99

= 26828.91

If we use 7, we will have 2757072. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2757072 / 99

= 27849.21

If we use 8, we will have 2858082. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2858082 / 99

= 28869.52

If we use 9, we will have 2959092. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2959092 / 99

= 29889.82

If we use 0, we will have 2050002. Dividing by 99 gives:

= 2050002 / 99

= 20707.09

Therefore, A is 3 as it gives 2353032 which divides 99 successfully without remainder.
