Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First consider the unknown original price as 'x'.
Then consider the rate of discount.
To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'.
To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price.
Answer:
The answer to your question is
Part A. Archimedes grades 6 1/4 tests per day
Part B. 8 19/32 days
Part C. 6 26/29 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
Total time = 6 2/5 days
Number of tests = 40 tests
Process
1.- Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
6 2/5 = (30 + 2) / 5 = 32/5
2.- Divide 40 by 32/5
40/1 / 32/5 = (40 x 5) / (32 x 1)
= 200 / 32
Simplify
100 / 16 = 50/8 = 25/4
3.- Convert 25/4 to mixed fractions
6
4 25
1
25/4 = 6 1/4
Archimedes grade 6 1/4 tests per day
Part B
15 more tests
Total time = 32/5
Total tests = 40 + 15 = 55
Process
1.- Divide 55 by 32/5
55 / 1 / 32 /5 = (55 x 5) / (32 x 1)
= 275 / 32
2.- Convert 275/32 to a mixed fraction
8
32 275
256
19
Result 8 19/32 days
Part C
1.- Divide 55 by 7.25
50 / 7.25 = 5000 / 725
6
725 5000
- 4350
650
Result 6 650/750 = 6 26/29
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
simply add both equations
x + y = 2
-3x - y = 5
----------------
-2x + 0 = 7
x = -7/2
x + y = 2
-7/2 + y = 2
y = 2 + 7/2 = 4/2 + 7/2 = 11/2
b.
1/2 x + 2y = -13
x - 4y = 8
first multiply the first equating by 2
x + 4y = -26
x - 4y = 8
--------------------
2x + 0 = -18
x = -18/2 = -9
x - 4y = 8
-9 - 4y = 8
-4y = 17
y = -17/4
Answer:
C. Elimination, because - 2y and 2y are opposites.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Chips = 14
Pretzel = 14
Cookie = 8
Popcorn = 13
Question Mark = 222
Step-by-step explanation:
First Equation:
Chips + Pretzel + Chips = 42
Third Equation: Chips = Pretzel.
This means that
Pretzel + Pretzel + Pretzel = 42
Pretzel = 
Chips = Pretzel
Chips = 
Second Equation:
Cookie + Chips + Cookie = 30
We know that Chips = 14.
Cookie + 14 + Cookie = 30
Subtract 14 on both sides:
Cookie + Cookie = 16
Cookie = 
.
Fourth Equation:
Cookie + Cookie + Popcorn = 29
We know that Cookie = 8.
8 + 8 + Popcorn = 29
16 + Popcorn = 29
Subtract 16 on both sides:
Popcorn = 13.
Question Mark:
(Popcorn + Popcorn) 
Cookie + Chips = (13 + 13) 8 + 14 = 26 8 + 14 =
