Good evening
Answer:
<em>a) the cost of one apple is €</em><em>0.9</em>
<em>b) the cost of one pineapple is €</em><em>5.4</em>
<em>c) the cost of two pineapples and six apples is €</em><em>16.2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider P the price of a pineapple
A the price of an apple
A pineapple costs six times as much as an apple means P = 6A
Mum paid €7.20 for one pineapple and two apples means P + 2A = 7.20
then
6A + 2A = 7.20
then
8A = 7.20
then
A = €0.9
Since P = 6A then P = 6×(0.9) = €5.4
the cost of two pineapples and six apples
= 2P + 6A
= 2P + P
= 3P
= 3×(5.4)
= €16.2
Answer
Find out the what is the sale price of the jeans including tax .
To prove
Let us assume that the sale price of the jeans including tax be x .
As given
Michael is buying a pair of jeans that regularly cost $40.
They are on sale for 20% off.
If the tax rate is 8% .
20% is written in the decimal form

= 0.20
8% is written in the decimal form

= 0.08
Than the equation becomes
x = 40 - 40 × 0.20 + 40 × 0.08
x = 40 - 8 + 3.2
x = 43.2 - 8
x = $35.2
Therefore the sale price of the jeans including tax be $ 35.2 .
Answer:
x = -10/13
Step-by-step explanation:
10x + 7 = -3x - 3
Add 3x to both sides
10x + 3x + 7 = -3x + 3x - 3
13x + 7 = 0x - 3
13x + 7 = -3
Subtract 7 from both sides
13x + 7 - 7 = -3 - 7
13x + 0 = -10
13x = -10
Divide both sides by 13
13x ÷ 13 = -10 ÷ 13
1x = -10/13
x = -10/13
