Let j = cost of one jumbo popcorn, and c = cost of one chocolate chip cookie.
Then, based upon the given info, 1j + 2c = $5.
Also, 3j + 5c = $14.50
Let's solve this system of equations using addition/subtraction:
Mult. the first equation by -3, to obtain -3j - 6c = -$15
Now add this result to the 2nd equation:
-3j - 6c = -$15
3j + 5c = $14.50
----------------------
-c = -$0.50, or c = $0.50. Since 3j + 5c = $14.50, subst. $0.50 for c
lets us find j:
3j + 5($0.50) = $14.50, so 3j = $12.00. Thus, j = $4.00.
Jumbo popcorn is $4/bag, and choc. chip cookies $0.50 each.
Answer:
s = 3x - (1/2)y
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a square is 4s, where s is the side length. Here,
12x - 2y = 4s, and so s = 3x - (1/2)y
Hi there! So Elbert made 48% of his shots. To find out how many shots he made, all you have to do is multiply the amount of shots he attempted by the percentage. 25 * 48% is 12. There. Elbert scored 12 baskets.
Answer:
The final cost is 1.07($17.15) = $18.35
Step-by-step explanation:
If the discount is 30%, we can find the discounted price by taking 70% of the original price (since 100% - 30% = 70%). Substitute the equivalent 0.70 to calculate the discount price: 0.70($24.50) = $17.15. This is the discounted price.
The final cost is $17.15 times 1.07, which includes the discounted price plus the 7% tax. That final cost is 1.07($17.15) = $18.35.
