Maria needs to save $187.50 per month in order to attend college.
First, subtract the $1,100 scholarship from the cost of college, or $10,100, to get $9,000. This is the amount that she needs to save after 4 years. Next, since she is saving monthly, we need to know how many monthly periods are in 4 years, so multiply 12 months/year by 4 years to get 48 monthly periods. Finally, divide the total amount needed ($9,000) by the monthly periods (48) to get $187.50. This answer would change if she earned any interest on her savings, and depending on the compounding period, if any, for such interest.
I am assuming theres an addition sign between the 3 and 4.
So basically you want to multiply the 5x by both terms so it will end up being
(5x•3) + (5x•4)
Now simplify:
15x+20x
Hope this helped ^_^
The total of 2 buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy would be $23.25
To answer this question you need to form a set of simultaneous equations and solve them. We can do this by saying that a bucket of popcorn = P, and a box of candy = C. Then we can say:
4P + 6C = 46.50
P + C = 9.75
There are then two possible ways to solve; you can either say that C = 9.75 - P using the second equation and then substitute it into the first, or you can multiply the second equation by either 4 or 6 to cancel out P or C.
I’m going to multiply the second equation by 4:
4P + 4C = 39
Now we can subtract this for, the first equation:
4P + 6C = 46.50
4P + 4C = 39
2C = 7.50
C = 3.75
Now we can substitute this value of C into one of the equations to find P:
P + C = 9.75
P + 3.75 = 9.75
P = 6
And now to answer the question, you just multiply P by 2 and C by 3 and add them together, which gives you $23.25
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
Option C is the right way to solve the equation.
