Answer:

The ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates = 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Proportion of the box of chocolates that contain nuts = 1/5

Proportion of the box of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

Therefore, we have in a box of chocolates with five chocolates;

The number of chocolates that contain nuts = 1

The number of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 4

Which gives the ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates as 1:4.

What is the first step in solving this system of equations by elimination? 5a + 3b = –9 2a – 5b = –16
Elis [28]
<span>Multiply one of the equations so that both equations share a common complementary coefficient.
       In order to solve using the elimination method, you need to have a matching coefficient that will cancel out a variable when you add the equations together. For the 2 equations given, you have a huge number of choices. I'll just mention a few of them.
   You can multiply the 1st equation by -2/5 to allow cancelling the a term.
   You can multiply the 1st equation by 5/3 to allow cancelling the b term.
   You can multiply the 2nd equation by -2.5 to allow cancelling the a term. You can multiply the 2nd equation by 3/5 to allow cancelling the b term.
   You can even multiply both equations.
For instance, multiply the 1st equation by 5 and the second by 3. And in fact, let's do that. 5a + 3b = –9 2a – 5b = –16 5*(5a + 3b = -9) = 25a + 15b = -45
   3*(2a - 5b = -16) = 6a - 15b = -48
       Then add the equations 25a + 15b = -45
   6a - 15b = -48
   =
   31a = -93
   a = -3
       And then plug in the discovered value of a into one of the original equations and solve for b.</span>

What is the discount of a guitar with an original price of $95 and a discount of 15%.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

$80.75 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:
Initial price = $95
15% discount

In order to find the answer, we have to find 15% of 95.

\frac{15\times95}{100} =15\times95=1425\div100=14.25
95-14.25=80.75
g=80.75

The guitar (after a 15% discount) costs "$80.75 dollars."

Hope this helps.
