Let the cost of one pound of candy be x and one pound of mint be y.
3x+2y=10.8 a
x+3y = 5.35 b
B*3 = 3x+9y = 16.05 b
b-a = 7y = 16.05-10.8= 5.25
y = 5.25/7 = 0.75
The cost per pound of mints is $0.75
Answer:
he would pay $4.50 for it.
Step-by-step explanation:
all you do is take the $30 and times that by 15% and you get $4.50.
So you have to find the relationship between the pumpkin diameter (y) and the number of weeks passed (x) in a table, lets do it taking into account that the equation modeling such behaviour is:
y = 2x + 6, where x is the number of weeks and plus original 6 cm
x y
week diameter
0 6
1 8
3 12
5 16
10 26
substitute the x and y values in the equation to see how they fit into it
System: x + y = 44; x = 2y + 2
Solve with substitution: x = 30; y = 14
x + y = 44
x = 2y + 2
Substitute 2y + 2 for x
2y + 2 + y = 44
3y + 2 = 44
Subtract 2 on both sides.
3y = 42
y = 14
Now substitute back in.
x + 14 = 44
Subtract 14 on both sides.
x = 30
