Tristan paid $17.50 to buy 2 pounds of peanuts and 3 pounds of cashews. Rivka paid $19.00 to buy 5 pounds of peanuts and 2 pounds of cashews. If both people paid the same price per pound, what was the price per pound for the cashews?

A. $2.00

B. $3.80

C. $4.50

D. $8.75

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

hello, there.

1) 2p + 3c = 17.50

2) 5p + 2c = 19.00

:

Solve equation 1 for p

:

p = (17.50 - 3c) / 2

:

Substitute for p in second equation

:

(5(17.50 - 3c) / 2) + 2c = 19.00

:

Multiply both sides of = by 2

:

(5(17.50 - 3c)) + 4c = 38.00

:

87.50 - 15c + 4c = 38.00

:

-11c = -49.50

:

c = 4.50

:

---------

Cashews are $4.50 per pound

--------------

:have a great day.

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the cost for one pound of peanuts and let c represent the cost for one pound of cashews.

Two pounds of peanuts and three pounds of cashews cost $17.50. So:

[tex]2p+3c=17.5[/tex]

Five pounds of peanuts and two pounds of cashews cost $19.00. So:

[tex]5p+2c=19[/tex]

This yields a system of equations.

We can solve this using elimination. We can multiply the first equation by -5, and the second by 2. Therefore:

[tex]-5(2p+3c)=-5(17.5)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]-10p-15c=-87.5[/tex]

And:

[tex]2(5p+2c)=2(19)[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]10p+4c=38[/tex]

Now, we can add the two equations together:

[tex](-10p-15c)+(10p+4c)=(-87.5+38)[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]-11c=-49.5[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]c=4.5[/tex]

So, a pound of cashews costs $4.50.

Our answer is C.

Notes:

To solve for the cost for peanuts, we can use the first (or second equation) again:

[tex]2p+3c=17.5[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]2p+3(4.5)=17.5[/tex]

Solve for p:

[tex]2p+13.5=17.5\Rightarrow 2p=4\Rightarrow p=2[/tex]

So, a pound of peanutes cost $2.00.

If you can please show the steps​

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The easiest way to do this is to add the two givens together and then multiply by two. Why 2?  Because the formula is P = 2(L + W)

Givens

L = 8x - 2

W = 4x - 4

Solution

P = 2*(8x - 2 + 4x - 4)

P = 2*(12x - 6)

P = 24x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 24 students in total. Total will also be the denominator. Add 6 + 7 to find the amount that play the sports. Insert the number (13) as the numerator. Divide 13 by 24 if you need to find the percent!

Answer: 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

2+5+4 =11

Expect the 13 person/students didn't play

Identify the points which of the following coordinate pairs make the equation x - 9y = 12 true?

Show your reasoning.

1. ( 12, 0 )

2. ( 0, 12 )

3. ( 3, -1 )

4. ( 0, - 4/3 )

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because in equation x-9y=12

If we put x=12 and y=0 then it satisfy equation. (12)-9(0)=12

So, (12,0) make equation

(3,-1) also make equation

(3)-9(-1)=12

(0,-4/3) also make equation

Because

0-9(-4/3)=12

Only (0,12) is not making

Beacuse

(0)-9(12) is not equal to 12

Multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8.

Add 32 to this number.

Report the answer in degrees Fahrenheit.

Example: Convert 20°C to Fahrenheit.

F = 1.8 C + 32

F = 1.8 (20) + 32

1.8 x 20 = 36 so F = 36 + 32

36 + 32 = 68 so F = 68°F

The school orchestra is creating a CD of their last concert. The total cost to make the CD is $300 plus $2.50 per CD. They are selling the CDs for $10 each. How many CDs will they need to sell to make a profit?

Answers

Answer:

They need to sell more than 40 CDs to make a profit.

Explanation:

They will make a profit when the sales are higher than the cost and with the information provided, you can write the following inequality:

10x>300+2.5x, where x is the number of CDs sold

Now, you can solve for x:

10x-2.5x>300

7.5x>300

x>300/7.5

x>40

According to this, the answer is that they need to sell more than 40 CDs to make a profit.

Two trains on opposite tracks leave the same station at the same time. One train travels at an average speed of 80 kilometres per hour and the other travels at an average speed of 70 kilometres per hour. How long after they leave the station will they be 50 km apart?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

22+−9x=9x+10

−9x+22=9x+10

Step 2: Subtract 9x from both sides.

−9x+22−9x=9x+10−9x

−18x+22=10

Step 3: Subtract 22 from both sides.
