<span>32*18=576 oz. </span>
<span>Store A offers 24-12 oz cans for $5.89. That means $5.89 gets you 288 oz. Store B offers 12-12oz cans for $3.79, so that means $3.79 gets you 144oz. </span>
<span>Store A is $5.89 per every 288 oz. You need 576 oz, which is double that. That means it will cost you twice as much as it would buying 24-12 oz cans: </span>
<span>$5.89*2=$11.78 </span>
<span>Store B is $3.79 for 144 oz. As previously stated, you need 576 oz, so you'll need to buy 4 12-packs of 12 oz cans: </span>
<span>$3.79*4=15.16 </span>
<span>So not only is Store A a better deal, but they'll save you $15.16-$11.78=$3.38 dollars. </span>
Step-by-step explanation:
State you answer in the simplest form
Answer:
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
y= $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of a flashlight
Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
Multiply the first equation by -5
-5(3x +4y) = -5*118
-15x -20y = -590
Multiply the second equation by 3
3(5x+6y) =3*180
15x + 18y = 540
Add the modified equations together.
We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x
-15x -20y = -590
15x + 18y = 540
----------------------------
-2y = -50
Divide by -2
-2y/-2 = -50/-2
y =25
Each sleeping bag costs $25
