Answer: A. 1993
Step-by-step explanation: A P E X
Store 1 : 12 paper towels for 3.60
3.60 / 12 = 0.30......30 cents per roll
store 2 : 10 paper towels for 3.50
3.50/10 = 0.35....35 cents per roll
the better deal is store 1 with paper towels costing 30 cents per roll
Answer:
<em> There are 7 bales of 100 pounds and 8 bales of 150 pounds hale</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of bale of 100 pounds be x and the bale of hale of 150pounds be y
If fifteen bales of hale were loaded into a truck, then x+y = 15 ... 1
Also if some of the bales weight 150 pounds, and some weighed 100 pounds with total weight of pounds to be 1900 pounds, then mathematically;
150y + 100x = 1900
Dividing through by 100;
1.5y+x = 19 ..... 2
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously;
x+y = 15 ... 1
1.5y+x = 19 .... 2
Subtracting 1 from 2
y-1.5y = 15-19
-0.5y = -4
Divide both sides by 0.5
-0.5y/-0.5 = -4/-0.5
y = 8
Substituting y = 8 into equation 1, we will have;
x+y = 15
x+8 = 15
x = 15-8
x = 7
<em>Hence there are 7 bales of 100 pounds and 8 bales of 150 pounds hale</em>
