Answer:

$48.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Number of purses= 14+2= 16

Cost of 14 purses= $50

Cost of 2 purses= $38

Let us use the weighted cost method

Mean cost = (14*50+ 2*38)/16

Mean cost = (700+ 76)/16

Mean cost = 776/16

Mean cost =$48.5

Answer:

$x = \frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(x-3)=\frac{3}{4} (8x-12)$

$2x-6 = \frac{3}{4}8x- \frac{3}{4} 12$

$2x-6 = 6x - 9$

$-6+9 = 6x - 2x$

$3 = 4x$

$x = \frac{3}{4}$

Ms. Fox loves to eat cereal and she notices that she only has 1/3 of the box of cereal left. If she spread that amount across 5

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Fox loves to eat cereal and she notices that she only has 1/3 of the box of cereal left. If she spread that amount across 5 days, how much cereal will she have for each day?

The amount of cereal she would have per day is calculated as:

5 days = 1/3 of the box

1 day = x

Cross Multiply

5 days × x = 1 day × 1/3 of the box

x = 1/3 ÷ 5

x = 1/3 × 1/5

x = 1/15 of the box
