Answer:

3800

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

O - Original cost

N - New cost

c - change factor

Step 1:

Recognize that if something decreases by 19%, it is worth 19% <em>less</em>

This means that the new price, fractionally, is 100% - 19% = 81%

So we can use c as 0.81 (81/100)

Step 2:

Write an equation to represent what is happening

N = O * c

Step 3:

Sub in what we know

3078 = O * 0.81

Step 4:

Rearange and solve

O = 3078 / 0.81 = 3800

Suppose 2 eggs with bacon cost 2.70 . One egg with bacon costs 1.80 . At thesebrates what will bacon alone cost
Leno4ka [110]

If 2 eggs with bacon cost 2.70, and 1 egg with bacon costs 1.80, that means that 1 egg costs 0.90, so when we subtract once more 0.90 we get the price of the bacon alone, which is in this case 0.90.

Five widgets and three gadgets cost $109. 90.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

one gadget costs $15.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = cost of one widget

Let g = cost of one gadget

Given:

  • Five widgets and three gadgets cost $109. 90

⇒ 5w + 3g = 109.9

Given:

  • One widget and four gadgets cost $75. 70

⇒ w + 4g = 75.7

Rewrite  w + 4g = 75.7  to make w the subject:

⇒ w = 75.7 - 4g

Substitute into  5w + 3g = 109.9  and solve for g:

⇒ 5(75.7 - 4g) + 3g = 109.9

⇒ 378.5 - 20g + 3g = 109.9

⇒ 378.5 - 109.9 = 20g - 3g

⇒ 268.6 = 17g

⇒ g = 15.8

Therefore, one gadget costs $15.80

To find the cost of one widget, substitute the found value for g into
w = 75.7 - 4g and solve for w:

⇒ w = 75.7 - 4(15.8)

⇒ w = 75.7 - 63.2

⇒ w = 12.5

Therefore, one widget costs $12.50
