Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer: 48 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the expression that gives the number of tickets a player wins if he shoots the ball in the hoop t times is expressed as 3t.
Therefore, the number of tickets that a player wins if he shoots the ball in the hoop 16 times will be:
= 3t
where,
t = 16
Therefore, 3t = 3 × 16 = 48
The player wins 48 tickets.
When finding the mean you should first add up all the numbers which are 12,2,8,6 and 57 which will give you a sum of 85 next you should divide your sum by how many numbers there are which is 5 and your answer should be 17
500 meters because there are 1000 kilometers equals one kilometer. 0.5 is half of 1 so, the half of 1000 meters is 500 meters.
HOPE THIS helps you !!
