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! :)

Brian &amp; Paul share a lottery win of £7800 in the ratio 1 : 4. Brian then shares his part between himself, his wife &amp; the
Elza [17]

Answer:

The wife gets £468 over the son

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we shall calculate the total amount Brian made from from what he and Paul won.

The ratio is 1:4, meaning for every 2 part Brain takes, Paul takes 4

Paul’s share is thus 1/5 * 7800 = 7800/5 = £1560

Now we have another ratio for sharing the amount Brain has at home.

The total ratio here is 1+6+3 = 10

The share of the wife will be 6/10 * 1560 = 6 * 156 = 936

The son share is half of this which is 936/2 = 468

The difference between their shares is £936-£468 = £468
