Troy and Lisa were shopping for school supplies. Each purchased different quantities of the same notebook and thumb drive. Troy

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Notebook is $4

Thumb drive is $23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let notebooks be x and thumb drives be y

6x+7y=$185

14x+12y=$332

These two are simultaneous equation. Multiplying the first equation by 7 and second by 3 we obtain

42x+49y=$1295

42x+36y=$996

Subtracting the third equation from the fourth

996-1295=-$299

(36-49)y=-23y

-23y=-$299

y=$299/13=$23

To get the value of x, we substitute the value of y into the first equation

6x+(7*23)=$185

6x=$185-$161

6x=$24

x=$4

Therefore, price of notebook is $4, price of thumb drive is $23

Sue buys 5 pieces of fabric.Each piece is 1 7/10 yards long.What is the total length of the fabric she buys?One yard of the fabr

irina [24]

Answer:

The total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Sue buys 5 pieces of fabric.

$Each\ piece\ is\ 1 \frac{7}{10}\ yards\ long.$

i.e

$Each\ piece\ is\ \frac{17}{10}\ yards\ long.$

$Total\ length\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = \frac{5\times 17}{10}\ yards$

$Total\ length\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = \frac{85}{10}\ yards$

In the decimal form

Total length of fabric sue buys = 8.5 yards

As given

One yard of the fabric costs $5

$Total\ cost\ of\ fabric\ sue\ buys = 8.5\times 5$

= $ 42.5

Therefore the total length of fabric sue buys is 8.5 yards and total cost of the fabric is $42.5 .

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

There were 120 people in total.

60% were parents.

Number of parents attended.

Solution:

1. 60% of 120

It can also be written as:

$\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{120}{1}$

Simplify

Cancel zeros

$\frac{60}{100}\\\\=\frac{6}{10}$

Divide by common factor (2)

$\frac{6\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{3}{5}$

2. $\bold{\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{120}{1}}$

Multiply

$\frac{3\times120}{5\times1} = \frac{360}{5}$

Divide

$\frac{360}{5}= 360\div5=72$

Therefore, 72 parents attended the game.
