Answer:
<em>The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The potatoes are sold at a rate of $0.5 per potato.
1. Given Amanda can only spend $5 on potatoes at that price, she can buy at most $5 / 0.5 = 10 potatoes.
Amanda can buy at most 10 potatoes
2. Sam wants to buy 15 potatoes at that very same price. The cost of 15 potatoes is:
15 * $0.5 = $7.50
The cost of 15 potatoes is $7.50
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = $1 bill
Let y = $5bill
<em>Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;</em>
<em>For the total number of bills;</em>
.........equation 1
<em>For the total number of tips;</em>
..........equation 2
<em>*Solving the linear equation by using the substitution method*</em>
<em>Making x the subject in equation 1:</em>
.......equation 3
<em>Substituting "x" into equation 2;</em>
<em>Simplifying the equation, we have;</em>
y = 21 (For the $5 bills).
<em>Therefore, Anthony received 21 pieces of the $5 bills.</em>
To find x;
Substituting "y" into equation 3;
x = 26 (For the $1 bill).
