Erika $21
3k of cinnamon
1g of gummies

Irene $39
3k of cinnamon
3k of gummies

c= cost of 1 kilogram of cinnamon
g= cost of 1 kilogram of gummies

Erika's Equation
3c + 1g= $21

Irene's Equation
3c + 3g= $39

Solve for one variable in equation one and substitute it in the other equation.

3c + 1g= 21
subtract 3c from both sides
g= 21 - 3c

Substitute g=21 - 3c in equation
3c + 3g= $39
3c + 3 (21 - 3c)= 39
multiply all in parentheses
3c + 63 - 9c= 39
63 - 6c= 39
subtract 63 from both sides
-6c= -24
c= $4

Substitute c=4 in equation to find g
3c + g= 21
3(4) + g= 21
12 + g= 21
subtract 12 from both sides
g= $9

ANSWER: The price of 1 kilogram of cinnamon red hots is $4. The cost of 1 kilogram of gummies is $9.

Hope this helps! :)

The number of ways 8 cars can be lined up at a toll booth would be computed from
stepladder [879]

Answer: c. 8!

Step-by-step explanation:

We know , that if we line up n things , then the total number of ways to arrange n things in a line is given by :-

n! ( in words :- n factorial)

Therefore , the number of ways 8 cars can be lined up at a toll booth would be 8! .

Hence, the correct answer is c. 8! .

Alternatively , we also use multiplicative principle,

If we line up 8 cars , first we fix one car , then the number of choices for the next place will be 7 , after that we fix second car ,then the number of choices for the next place will be 6 , and so on..

So , the total number of ways to line up 8 cars = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x1 = 8!

Hence, the correct answer is c. 8! .
