Use PEMDAS. So it would then simplify to [100+(586+4)]/5<19 then continueing that it would be [100+590]/5<19 and then 690/5<19 which finally will be 138<19 and that is a valid statement
Answers:
- Pizza Uno = $5.25
- Pizza Duo = $5.60
Those are the costs for a whole small pizza.
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let
- x = cost of whole small pizza from Pizza Uno
- y = cost of whole small pizza from Pizza Duo
x and y are some dollar amount, so they cannot be negative numbers. It also doesn't make sense to have them be 0 either. So we'll make them positive.
2/3 of x is equal to 3.50 as the first sentence mentions. This forms the equation (2/3)*x = 3.50
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 to isolate x
(2/3)*x = 3.50
(3/2)*(2/3)*x = (3/2)*3.50
x = 5.25
Pizza Uno charges $5.25 for a whole small pizza.
----------------------------
Pizza Duo charges $4.20 for 3/4 of a small pizza, meaning the equation we need to solve is
(3/4)y = 4.20
We'll use the same idea as the last equation to get...
(3/4)y = 4.20
(4/3)*(3/4)y = (4/3)*4.20
y = 5.60
Pizza Duo charges $5.60 for a whole small pizza.
Pizza Uno is the better deal (assuming both pizzas taste the same or you don't have a preference for either). You would save $5.60 - $5.25 = $0.35 = 35 cents.
-0.8 that is the answer hope it helps
Answer:
B) 8 and 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just by looking at the answer choices, since one number must be three times the other, we can determine that the correct answer is B.
Regardless, let's work this out mathematically. Let the first number be <em>a</em> and the second number be <em>b</em>.
Their difference is 16. Hence:
The first number is three times the second number. So:
Substitute:
Solve for <em>b</em>. Subtract:
And divide both sides by two:
So, the second number is 8.
And since the first number is three times the second, the first number is 24.
Our answer is B as expected.
