Answer:Let t = cost per pound of turkey
Let h = cost per pound of ham
4t + 2h = 30
t = h - 1.5
substitute h-1.5 in place of t in 1st equation
4(h-1.5) + 2h = 30
4h - 6 + 2h = 30
6h - 6 = 30
6h = 36
h = 6
t = h-1.5 = 4.5
1 pound of turkey costs $4.50
1 pound of ham costs $6.00
----------
cost of 1 pound each $10.50
Step-by-step explanation:
So it seems as if the first problem is asking this:

.
If x=0.15, then 11/15*(0.15) is 0.11 or 11/100.
The second problem is asking:

To solve algebraically, you want to get rid of the denominators under the x's. To do so, you want to multiply by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. For 3 and 4, the LCM is 12. Multiply everything by 12 to get:
3x+6=4x+2
Now, solve for x
Subtract 4x from both sides:
-x+6=2
Subtract 6 from both sides:
-x=-4
Multiply by -1 on both sides:
x=4.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 83 : 45 :: 72 : ?
Let unknown quantity (?) be x.
Now, x : y :: a : b

83 : 45 :: 72 : x

Hence,
