Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
Answer:
Anything from 5.11 to 5.19 can be the missing values.
They would cost $8.75. If you take out 30% from the original price, that is how much they would be.
Answer:
0.012
Step-by-step explanation:
0.6/48.24
1. multiply numerator and denominator by 100 to get 60/4824
2. divide 60 by 4824
3. you get 0.012
( i would've written out how to get that answer but there are about 10 steps and it's really hard to type them out)
6 strawberries.
one plum= 32 calories
one strawberry=4 calories
total calories=56
56-32=24
24 calories come from the strawberries
24÷4=6
Therefor 6 strawberries
