We will need to use a systems of linear equations here. Firstly, we will use x for cans of peas and y for cans of corn. This is kind of difficult to explain, but basically, our first equation is going to be the amount x and y costs. Therefore, 0.85x + 0.78y = 6.59. This works because we need to find out how much cans she bought of each.
Next, we know that she for 2 more cans of peas than cans of corn. We can use the equation, 2 + y = x, to represent this situation. This is because she purchased two more cans of peas, so we add 2 to y (cans of corn).
Our equations are: 0.85x + 0.78y = 6.59, 2 + y = x
Answer:
$24.15
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you take 15% and make it into a decimal which is .15.
Then you times it by $21. 21*.15=3.15.
You then take the $3.15 and add it to $21 to get
$24.15 as your answer.
Answer:
C. 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-8*17=-136
-8*-12=96
-136+96=-40
-2*8=-16
-2*2=-4
-16-4=-20
-40/-20=2
Answer: candies are us has a better offer
Step-by-step explanation:
for the candies r us website, the price of the candies is 30*6 then times 0.8=$144
and for waxz, if you buy 3 get 1 free, then you at least have to buy 3 candies 9 times, and that would be 18*9 which equals 162, which is more expensive then waxz
hope this helps!
please make me brainliest! thanks!
