The correct answer is -29.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take cost of 1 hamburger as h and the cost of 1 hot dog as d.
Therefore, we can form the equations:
3h + 2d = 13 and
2h + 4d = 14
2(h +2d) = 14
h + 2d = 7
h = 7 - 2d
By substituting this to the first equation, we get:
3(7 - 2d) + 2d = 13
21 - 4d = 13
4d = 8
d = $2
h = 7 - 2(2)
h = $3
Hence <u>1 hot dog costs $2</u> and <u>1 hamburger costs $3</u>
We set up a proportion: 84/?= 56/100
Cross multiply: 56*?= 84*100
⇒ ?= 84*100/56= 150
56% of 150 is 84.
There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the amount used can be shown as 4 1/4, or 4.25 so to find out how much gas is left in the tank you simply subtract 4.25 from 20.
20-4.25
=15.75
There is 15.75, or 15 3/4, gallons of gasoline left in the tank.
