12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

Solution:

Given that, Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69 and Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18

We have to find which is the better buy

First we have to find the unit rate

Unit rate is cost of 1 pack

Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69

Therefore,

Cost of 12 pack = 1.69

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 1.69 by 12

$cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{1.69}{12} = 0.14083$

Thus unit rate of Mike is 0.14083 dollar per pack

Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18

Cost of 24 pack = 3.18

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 3.18 by 24

$cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{3.18}{24} = 0.1325$

Thus unit rate of Mary is 0.1325 dollars

On comparing both the unit rate

$0.14083>0.1325$

Thus unit rate of Mike is larger

Thus, 12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

Help pls dont give just the answer pls step by step so i can understand

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle due to opposite sides being congruent, the base angles would also be congruent.

$50 = 2x \\x=25$

plug in 25 in 2x and you would get 50°

Since the sum of a triangle is 180° you could set up an equation $50+50+5y+10=180$

Then, add 50+50=100+10=110

then you would then have $5y+110=180\\$

subtract 110 from 180, leaving you with 70

$5y=70$

then divide and you would get 14

Check:

5(14)+10+50+50= 180

given triangle abc is similar to triangle efg, with medians cd and gh respectively, ac=9, eg=6, cd=x+2, gh=2x-4. find the length

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

X= 9//

Step-by-step explanation:

abc = efg

ac + cd = eg + gh

9 + (x+2) = 6 + (2x-4)

9 - 6 = 2x-4 - (x+2)

3 = x - 6

3+6 = x

9 = x//
