Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for MNPQ and RSTU
Required
Find x and y
To solve this question, we make use of equivalent ratios of corresponding side lengths.
The ratio of corresponding sides are:
From the attachment, we have:
To solve for x, we equate and
Express as fraction
Make x the subject
To solve for y, we equate and
Express as fraction
Make y the subject
1) Would be c+15 because you can combine 19-4
2) Would be m+2 because you can combine 12-10
Tabitha Tidbits costs $7 per bag, and Figaro Flakes is $5.50 per bag.
You need to set up a system of equations. Use "x" for Tabitha Tidbits and "y" for Figaro Flakes, and let the total cost of each trip equal c. Using the equation ax+by=c, substitute the cost of each trip in for c, and the number of bags for each food for a and b respectively. The two equations will be:
3x+4y=43
3x+6y=54
Isolate x in the first equation and you will get:
x=(43-4y)/3
Substitute the above equation for x into the other equation:
3*((43-4y)/3)+6y=54
Isolate y in this equation, and you will get 11/2, which is 5.5
So the cost of one bag of Figaro Flakes is $5.50
Now substitute this into the equation where you isolated x:
(43-4(5.5))/3
You will get x=7, so a bag of Tabitha Tidbits is $7
and you know what that is.
