Mathematics

Answer: The speed of the current is 3 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = speed of boat , y= speed of current.

Given:

x-y=10         (Upstream)       ...(i)

x+y= 16   (Downstream)       ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

2x=26

⇒ x= 13

Put x=13 in (i), we get

13-y=10

⇒ y=13-10

⇒ y=3

Hence, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour.

Rob and Mike are selling cookie dough
SpyIntel [72]

The cost of one package of white chocolate chip cookie is $9 while the cost of one package of oatmeal cookie dough is $14.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the cost of white chocolate chip and y represent the cost of oatmeal dough, hence:

12x + 6y = 192   (1)

Also:

6x + 12y = 222    (2)

From both equations:

x = 9, y = 14

The cost of one package of white chocolate chip cookie is $9 while the cost of one package of oatmeal cookie dough is $14.
