Answer:

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use systems of equations to solve this.

3a+2p = 1.25

5a+p = 1.5

Multiply the second equation by 2.

3a+2p = 1.25

10a+2p = 3

Subtract the bottom from the top

-7a= -1.75

Divide by -7

a= 0.25

Each apple is $0.25 (in this case, the peach also costs $0.25)

Salma purchased a prepaid phone card for $15. Long distance calls cost 17 cents a minute using this card, Salma used her card on

Kay [80]

Step-by-step explanation: Answer: around 64 minutes

We need to first set the two equal to each other.

We can model the first part using the slope intercept form.

y=.17x+15

We are trying to find the amount of minutes or x she can spend. We solve for x by using inverse operations.

However, the question states that she has already paid the flat fee of 15 dollars, so we are only doing .17x=10.92 (inverse operations for x)

X=64.23 minutes or around that.

Alfred collects black and brown socks but loses a lot of them. If 60% of all his socks are brown, 20% of his brown socks are in

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Alfred has 250 socks in his collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

Based on the information given to us we can see that out of All his Brown socks he has 20% in the wash and the rest are in his drawer. Meaning 80% of the Brown socks are in his drawer. So we first need to find how many Brown socks are in the wash. We can solve this using the Rule of Three property as shown in the picture below.

120 drawer ⇒ 80%

x wash ⇒ 20%

$\frac{120*20}{80} = 30$

Now that we have the amount of Brown socks in the washer we can add that to the amount in the drawer to find the total amount of Brown socks.

$Br = 120+30\\Br = 150$

So we now know that there are a total of 150 Brown socks. Since the question states that the Brown socks are 60% of the total we can use the Rule of Three to find the total.

150 Brown ⇒ 60%

T Total ⇒ 100%

$\frac{150*100}{60} = T$

$250 socks = T$

Finally, we can see that Alfred has 250 socks in his collection.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
