Let x be the cost of 1 pen
then cost of 1 notebook = x + 8.20
Let y be the number of pens Tan buys
then number of notebooks Tan buys = y/4
She spent $26 more on books than on pens which means
Cost of notebooks - Cost of pens = 26
(x + 8.20) * y/4 - xy = 26
Sinplifying it
(xy + 8.20y)/4 - xy = 26
(xy + 8.20y - 4xy)/4 = 26
8.20y - 3xy = 104
She spent $394 which means
Cost of notebooks + Cost of pens = 394
(x + 8.20) * y/4 + xy = 394
Simplifying it
(xy + 8.20y)/4 + xy = 394
(xy + 8.20y + 4xy)/4 = 394
8.20y + 5xy = 1576
Now, we have two equations,
(1) 8.20y - 3xy = 104
(2) 8.20y + 5xy = 1576
Now we need to find a third equation with either x or y as the subject of any of both the previous equations.
Let's make y the subject of (2) equation
8.20y + 5xy = 1576
y(8.20 + 5X) = 1576
(3) y = 1576/(8.20 + 5x)
Let's substitute the new value of y from (3) into (1) because we rearranged (2) to from (3)
8.20y - 3xy = 104
y(8.20 - 3x) = 104
y = 104/(8.20 - 3x)
1576/(8.20 + 5x) = 104/(8.20 - 3x)
1576 * (8.20 - 3x) = 104 * (8.20 + 5x)
12923.2 - 4728x = 852.8 + 520x
12923.2 - 852.8 = 4728x + 520x
12070.4 = 5248x
12070.4/5248 = x
x = 2.3
Now find the value of y by substituting the value of x in either equation, preferably (3)
y = 1576/(8.20 + 5x)
y = 1576/(8.20 + 5 * (2.3))
y = 80
Therefore cost of 1 notebook = x + 8.20 = 2.3 + 8.20 = $10.50
Answer: She would have to work 7 hours to earn $260.
Step-by-step explanation: 40×7=280 280-20=260 Hope this helps.
Complete question :
Hayley is buying herbs. She wants to buy 5/6 ounce of basil. The scale she is using to weigh the basil displays the weight as a decimal. How will she know when the display on the scale is correct to the tenths place? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:
5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :
5 / 6 = 0.8333
Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;
5/6 = 0.8333
To the nearest tenth :
0.8
P(A) = P(8) + P(9) + P(10) = 3/10 so P(A complement) = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 3/10 = 7/10 - D
Option A:
The probability that Everett and Finley end up with an even number and a blue disk is 
.
Solution:
Given data:
Everett is rolling a block with numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Finley is drawing one disk from basket with colors = {blue, red, yellow}
Total number of numbers = 6
Total number of colors = 3
Divide numerator and denominator by the common factor 3.
Option A is the correct answer.
Hence the probability that Everett and Finley end up with an even number and a blue disk is .
