You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?
First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!
In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32
In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40
Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!
3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation
-3X. - 3X
Net result: Y= 32- 3X
Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable
2X + 3(32-3X) = $40
2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation
-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides
-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7
X= 8
Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32
3(8) + Y = $32
24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides
y = 8
ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8
Let's use our largest amount (quarter) to see how many can fit evenly into 1.74.
- 1.74/0.25 = 6.96
- The most quarters that can fit into $1.74 is 6.
---Multiply $0.25 by 6 = $1.50
---Subtract $1.50 from $1.74 = $0.24
---We need to use the rest of the coins to fill up $0.24.
Now let's use our second largest amount (dime) to see how many can fit evenly into 0.24.
- 0.24/0.10 = 2.4
- The most dimes that can fit into $0.24 is 2.
---Multiply $0.10 by 2 = $0.20
---Subtract $0.20 from $0.24 = $0.04
No nickels can fit into $0.04, because they are worth $0.05.
We can use our least amount (pennies) to fill in the $0.04 remaining.
Your answer is 6 quarters, 2 dimes, and 4 pennies.
Answer:
a) ( j + m ) / 7
b) The product of <em>j</em> and <em>m </em>increased by 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6. D.
7. F.
8. A.
9. B.
10. C.
Step-by-step explanation:
6. 9 + (12 - 10)
12 - 10 = 2
9 + 2 = 11
7. (20 - 15) x 2
20 - 15 = 5
5 x 2 = 10
8. 10 ÷ 5 + 7
10 ÷ 5 = 2
2 + 7 = 9
9. 6 + 2 x 3
2 x 3 = 6
6 + 6 = 12
10. (2 x 4) + 8
2 x 4 = 8
8 + 8 = 16
