Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

12.5/100=24/x

divide 12.5 by 100

0.125=24/x

multiply both sides by x

0.125x=24

divide both sides by 0.125

x=192

Taylor and Nora go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Taylor spends a total of $69.00 on 6 drinks
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The system if equation that can be used to derive this are

6x + 4y = 69 AND

12x + y = 96

The price of a drink is $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The question here says that Taylor and Nora went to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Taylor spends a total of $69.00 on 6 drinks and 4 bags of popcorn Nora spends a total of $96.00 on 12 drinks and bag of popcorn.And we are now told to write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one drink and the price of one bag of popcorn. Using these equations,we should determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent .

Now, Let's assume that the price of a drink is "X" and that of a bag of popcorn to be Y

The first person made a purchase which led to the equation

6x + 4y = 69______ equation 1

And the second person also made a purchase that lead to the equation

12x + y = 96_____ equation 2

We make y the subject of the formula in equation 2 and apply it in 1

Y = 96 - 12x

Now apply the above in equation 1

6x + 4y = 69

6x + 4(96 - 12x)= 69

6x + 384 - 48x = 69

42x = 384 - 69

X = 315/42

X = 7.5

Substitute x= 7.5 in equation 2

12x + y = 96

12(7.5) + y = 96

90 + y = 96

Y = 6

Therefore, the price of a drink is $7.5

The equation y = 1/5x represents a proportional relationship. Explain how you can tell the relationship is proportional from the
andre [41]
If a graph is proportional then the line will go through the origin at point (0, 0). If the equation is proportional then it will be in the form of y=kx with no other operations after. The constant of proportionality is another way to say the slope and in your specific equation the slope would be 1/5.
