A gift basket that contains jars of jam and packages of bread mix costs $45. There are 8 items in the basket. Jars of jam cost $6 each, and packages of bread mix cost $5 each. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the number of jars of jam and the number of packages of bread mix in the gift basket. Let xx represent the number of jars of jam and let y represent the number of packages of bread mix.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 8 items
jams+breadmix=8
x+y=8

total value is 45
value of jam=x times cost per jam=x times 6=6x
value of bread=y times cost per bread=y times 5=5y

total value=bread value+jam value
45=5y+6x

we have
x+y=8
6x+5y=45
solve

multiply first equaton by -5
-5x-5y=-40

add to first equation

-5x-5y=-40
6x+5y=45 +
1x+0y=5

x=5
subsitute
x+y=8
5+y=8
y=3

5 jars of jam
3 jars of bread mix

80% of a number is 96. What is 25% of that same number?

A.
20

B.
30

C.
40

D.
120

Answers

$(80)/(100)*x=96$ ⇒ $(80/20)/(100/20) *x=96$

$(4)/(5)*x=96$ ⇒ $x= (96*5)/(4)=24*5$

$\boxed {x=120}$

$(25)/(100)*x= (25/25)/(100/25)*120 = (120)/(4) = \boxed {30}$

The answer is B.

let the number be x
80%*x=96
x=96/80%
x=120
then 25% of 120 is your answer to find this half 120 twice
half 120=60
half 60=30

Therefore 30 is the answer which is B

Answers

In all the cases, the number is multiplied by itself and added 1 to it. so the answer is 26

Answer: 26

There is a pattern. It is squared then added with one.

For visual reference-

2=5 (2*2=4, 4+1=5)

3=10 (3*3=9, 9+1=10)

4=17 (4*4=16, 16+1=17)

5=?? (do the same thing)

5=26 (5*5=25, 25+1=26)

What is 0.5733 to the nearest hundredths?

Answers

Hello,

0.5733 = 0.57

Bye :)

0.5733 to the nearest hundredth would be 0.57, here's why:
After a decimal it goes tenth, hundredth, thousandths, ect. So that means the second spot after the decimal is will be the last number. Now look at the thousandths place (3) behind the hundredth place (7), it is 4 or smaller so we will let it rest and the hundredth place will stay a 7.
