63 + 36...there is a common factor of 9
9(7 + 4) <== this is equivalent
63 + 36...there is a common factor of 3
3(21 + 12)...but this is not an answer choice...but it is equivalent
Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
If 75% liked skating, then 25% did not
so 25% of what is 35
0.25x = 35
x = 35/0.25
x = 140...so there is a total of 140 students
75% of 140 =
0.75(140) = 105...so 105 students liked skating
Answer:
(7,5) (4,1)= (3,4) might be it Im not really sure
Use pemdas, multiply 3 • 4 and you’ll get 12. Add 6 and the answer is 18
