Set up a proportion. 3.50 over 5 = x over 1 (x is what we are trying to find= the cost of 1 lb of apples)
Use cross products and multiply 3.50 by 1 to get 3.50 and then divide that by 5 to get 0.7.
So the apple cost 0.7 or seventy cents per pound.
Check: 0.7*5=3.5
That is correct!
Hope this helps!

Using the elimination method, the value of x in the system of equations is calculated as: 8.
<h3>How to Solve a System of Equations by Elimination?</h3>
To solve a system of equations given using the elimination method, do the following:
Multiply 2x - 5y = 1 by 2 and multiply -3x + 2y = -18 by 5 to get the following:
4x - 10y = 2 --> eqn. 1
-15x + 10y = -90 --> eqn. 2
Add
-11x = -88
Divide both sides by -11
x = 8

To find the amount of money you pay for tax, you have to multiply the price of the product by the percentage of the tax, then divide it by 100. in this case, 76x5.6=425.6/100=4.256 which is $4.26 (to the nearest cent)
Answer:The set fee would be $15
Explanation:The set fee is the starting value. This means that it is the value of the y at x = 0 (y-intercept).
To get the set fee, we would first need to get the equation of the line.
Equation of the linear line has the following general formula:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
1- getting the slope:we are given two points which are:
(20,25) and (50,40)
the slope =
The equation now is:
y = 0.5x + c
2- getting the value of the y-intercept:To get the value of the c, we will use any of the given points, substitute in the equation and solve for c.
I will choose the point (20,25)
y = 0.5x + c
25 = 0.5(20) + c
25 = 10 + c
c = 15
The equation of the line representing the scenario is:y = 0.5x + 15
Now, we know that the value of the c is the y-intercept which is the initial value of the function at x=0.
In our situation, this represents the set fee.
Hope this helps :)
