Answer 1

Answer:

18.75=p

s=14.06

b=2.34

Step-by-step explanation:

37.75=b+s+p

-4

33.75=b+s+p

s=3/4p

b=1/6s

33.75=1/6(3/4p)+3/4p+p

33.75=3/20p+3/4p+p

(33.75=18/20p+p)20

675=18p+p)/18

37.50=2p)/2

18.75=p

s=3/4p

3/4(18.75)

s=14.06

b=1/6s

1/6(14.06)

b=2.34

37.75-4=18.75+14.06+2.34=35.15
