Answer:
$6.79
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the cost of a bottle of soap. We divide the cost by the number of bottles
$9.12/6 = $1.52 per bottle
We also need to find the cost for a sponge
$5.00/4 = $1.25 per sponge
We want to find the total cost of 2 bottles of soap and 3 sponges
cost = 2 * 1.52 + 3 * 1.25
= 3.04 + 3.75
= 6.79
the cost of the eggs
cost (x) = x*price
this is an example of a proportional cost relation with the size been x
Answer:
144 children and 170 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
make 2 equations
make :
the children as the regarded as the variable : x
the adults are the regarded as the variable : y
<em>5x + 6 y = 1740</em>
<em>x + y = 314</em>
<h3><u>solve this by the method of elimination </u></h3>
5x + 6y = 1740
5(x + y = 314)
= 5x + 5y = 1570
5x + 6y = 1740
5x + 5y = 1570
the 5x is cancelled out
6y - 5y = 1740 - 1570
y = 170
now replace the value of y in the eqaution
5x + 6 (170) = 1740
5x =720
x = 144
hence they were 144 children and 170 adults
