So, let's look at the problem once again.
8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.
Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.
We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.
92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)
24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276
276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.
276 plus 24 = 300.
Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
(1) y² + x² = 53
(2) y - x = 5 ⇒ y = x + 5
subtitute (2) to (1)
(x + 5)² + x² = 53 |use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
x² + 2x·5 + 5² + x² = 53
2x² + 10x + 25 = 53 |subtract 53 from both sides
2x² + 10x - 28 =0 |divide both sides by 2
x² + 5x - 14 = 0
x² - 2x+ 7x - 14 = 0
x(x - 2) + 7(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2)(x + 7) = 0 ⇔ x - 2 = 0 or x + 7 = 0 ⇔ x = 2 or x = -7
subtitute the values of y to (2)
for x = 2, y = 5 + 2 = 7
for x = -7, y = 5 + (-7) = 5 - 2 = 3
Answer: x = 2 and y = 7 or x = -7 and y = 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you ate 3
you paid $9.45 for the 3
to find the cost of the whole pizza you need to know how much each slice costs so
9.45 / 3 = $3.15 a slice
so each slice is $3.15 and there are 8 slices and you need to know how much they cost altogether so
3.15 * 8 = $25.20
