Answer:

The cost of chocolate pumpkins is $1.89, masks cost $5.75 and candy witches cost $1.62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of chocolate pumpkins, y the cost of masks and z the cost of candy witches.

Cory shopping can be represented as:

3x + 4y + 8z = 41.63      (1)

Josh shopping can be represented as:

6x + 2y + 14z = 45.52    (2)

Dan shopping can be represented as:

8x + 3y + 25z = 72.87    (3)

The equations in matrix form is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&4&8\\6&2&14\\8&3&25\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}41.63\\45.52\\72.87\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&4&8\\6&2&14\\8&3&25\end{array}\right] ^{-1}\left[\begin{array}{c}41.63\\45.52\\72.87\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}1.89\\5.75\\1.62\end{array}\right]

The cost of chocolate pumpkins is $1.89, masks cost $5.75 and candy witches cost $1.62

Answer:

C:) 17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

((3 + 2/5)×5)/3

((3 + 2/5)×5)/3 = ((3 + 2/5)×5)/3:

((3 + 2/5)×5)/3

Put 3 + 2/5 over the common denominator 5. 3 + 2/5 = (5×3)/5 + 2/5:

((5×3)/5 + 2/5 5)/3

5×3 = 15:

((15/5 + 2/5)×5)/3

15/5 + 2/5 = (15 + 2)/5:

((15 + 2)/5×5)/3

15 + 2 = 17:

(17/5×5)/3

17/5×5 = (17×5)/5:

((17×5)/5)/3

((17×5)/5)/3 = (17×5)/(5×3):

(17×5)/(5×3)

(17×5)/(5×3) = 5/5×17/3 = 17/3:
