Answer:
x = 2.55 (rounded)
x = 2. 5454545455 (exact)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can change this sentence, into a mathematical expression and solve:
5.5 · x = 14
x = 14 / 5.5
x = 2.5454545
x = 2.55 (rounded)
Hope this helps!!
X = bob
y = bill
x + y = 68
x = 3y
3y + y = 68
4y = 68
y = 68/4
y = 17 <== Bills cards
x = 3y
x = 3(17)
x = 51 <=== Bobs cards

Answer:
- white chocolate chip: $17
- gingerbread: $19
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let x and y represent the costs of packages of white chocolate chip and gingerbread cookie dough, respectively. Then the two sales can be represented by ...
11x +2y = 225
8x +10y = 326
__
There are several ways a system of equations like this can be solved. One of my favorites is to use a graphing calculator (see attached).
We can also use substitution. We see that the coefficients of y are simply related, so we can use ...
2y = 225 -11x . . . . from equation 1
8x +5(2y) = 326 . . . rearrange equation 2
8x +5(225 -11x) = 326 . . . . substitute for 2y
-47x +1125 = 326 . . . . simplify
799 = 47x . . . . . . . add 47x-326
17 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 47
2y = 225 -11(17) = 38
y = 19 . . . . . . divide by 2
The package costs are ...
white chocolate chip dough: $17
gingerbread dough: $19.
The answer will be - 17/12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
First we calculate the tax rate in each state:
Iowa Tax Rate

Tennessee Tax Rate,

From our calculations it's clear than Tennessee has the highest tax rate of the two at 7% to Iowa's 6%
Hence Tennessee has a greater sales tax percentage.
