Answer:

Beck caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of fish Ally caught

b = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, so we have:

b + a = 75  

From the facts in our question we know Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck.

3b = 2a + 75  

a = 75 - b

3b = 2(75 - b) + 75

3b = 150 - 2b + 75

5b = 225

5b ÷ 5 = 225 ÷ 5

b = 45

Beck caught 45 fish.

Answer:

<em>Beck actually caught 45 fish</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

The line plot shows the weights of packages of meat available at a grocery store. The 3 lightest packages cost $4.40 per pound.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

$42.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal axis is in fractions.

The three lightest are two  \frac{5}{8} pounds & one  \frac{6}{8} pounds. Each cost $4.40 per pound.

So cost = 4.40(5/8+5/8+6/8) = $8.8

Remaining costs 4.80 per pound. We add up the remaining and multiply by 4.80 to get their cost.

cost = 4.80(1+1\frac{1}{8}+1\frac{1}{8}+1\frac{1}{8}+1\frac{2}{8}+1\frac{3}{8})=33.6

Hence, total cost =  8.8 + 33.6 = $42.40
