Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
A) Let's first consider the effect of the tax:
total payment = (food cost) + 25% × (food cost) = (1 + 0.25)×(food cost)
If the cost of a sandwich is x dollars, the cost of 6 sandwiches will be 6 times that, or 6x dollars. When the $2 cost of the soda is added, we get ...
food cost = 2 + 6x
Putting this into the equation for total payment, we find the expression to be ...
total payment = 1.25(2 +6x)
_____
B) Evaluating the expression for part A with x=5, we get ...
total payment = 1.25(2 +6·5) = 1.25·32 = 40 . . . . dollars
6:7 I'm pretty sure. Are there any options?
Answer:
The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of mangoes bought by the grocery store be n. Also let the number of mango sold for $3 in one stack be x and the number of mango sold for $6 in the second stack be y.
Therefore:
x + y = z (1)
Also, the mangoes was sold at break even price, that is the cost of the mango and the price it was sold for was the same. Therefore:
Cost of buying = Price it was sold for
The cost of the mango = 5z and the price it was sold for = 3x + 6y
3x + 6y = 5z (2)
Substituting z = x + y in equation 1
3x + 6y = 5(x + y)
3x + 6y = 5x + 5y
6y - 5y = 5x - 3x
y = 2x
x / y = 1/ 2 = 1 : 2
The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2
The solution to the two functions is (1, 3) and it represents the temperature at which the number of people visiting the zoo equals the number of people leaving the zoo.
