At a sale, Salazar bought 4 T-shirts and 3 pairs of jeans for $181. At the same store, Jenna bought 1 T-shirt and 2 pairs of jeans for $94. The T-shirts were all the same price, and the jeans were all the same price. Write a system of equations that can be used to represent this situation

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

4t + 3j = 181 and t + 2j = 94  represents the system of equations that can be used to represent this situation

Solution:

Let "t" be the cost of each t - shirt

Let "j" be the cost of each pair of jean

At a sale, Salazar bought 4 T-shirts and 3 pairs of jeans for $181

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

4 T-shirts x cost of each t - shirt + 3 pairs of jeans x cost of each pair of jean = 181

4 * t + 3 * j = 181\n\n4t + 3j = 181 --------- eqn 1

At the same store, Jenna bought 1 T-shirt and 2 pairs of jeans for $94

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

1 T-shirts x cost of each t - shirt + 2 pairs of jeans x cost of each pair of jean = 94

1 * t + 2 * j = 94\n\nt + 2j = 94 --------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 represents the system of equations that can be used to represent this situation

sally investment of £450 has gone up by 30%, while susies has gone down by 10% from 650. who has got the highest amont of money

Answers

1. The best thing to do is to find out what 1% is. 235/100= 2.35
As you're looking for 27%, you then multiply 2.35*27= 63.45
As you're increasing it, you've then got to add this to the original amount.
235+63.45= 298.45

2. Again, find 1%. 24/100= 0.24
0.24*9= 2.16
24+2.16= 26.16

3. Find 1%. 1120/100= 11.2
As you're looking for 13.5%, you then multiply this by 13.5
11.2*13.5= 151.20
As you're subtracting, you then take this away from the original number.
1120-151.20= 968.80

4. This time, you can find 10%.
0.057/10= 0.0057
0.0057*5.5= 0.03135.
You've then got to subtract this as you're decreasing the number.
0.057-0.03135= 0.02565.

Sally's investment is now worth £585. (Find the 30% and add it on) and Susie's investment is now worth £585 (Find the 10% and subtract). They both have the same amount of money.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5X+2Y= 12 and passage to the point -2, 4

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the equation of the line parallel to 5x + 2y = 12, we need to first determine the slope of the given line.

A line in slope-intercept form is represented by the following:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Rearranging the given line will give us the slope of the line:

5x + 2y = 12

2y = -5x + 12

y = -(5)/(2)x + 6

From this, since we know the lines are parallel, if the slope of the given line is -(5)/(2), then the slope of the line we are constructing must also be -(5)/(2).

We can now start to construct the line with the same slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = -(5)/(2)x + b

To determine the y-intercept, b, we can plug in the point (-2, 4) since we are told from the problem statement that this parallel line runs through it:

y = -(5)/(2)x + b

4 = -(5)/(2)(-2) + b

4 = 5 + b

b = -1

Finally, we have our parallel line:

y = -(5)/(2)x - 1

If this line needs to be in standard form, we can rearrange it a little:

2y = -5x - 2

5x + 2y = -2

Elizabeth, Heather, and Erin share the same birthday. They’ve decided to join together to have one big birthday party. The event location says it will cost $70 for the rental of the space and $15 per guest. Each girl invites x number of guests, including themselves in their guest count.The girls have each written a different correct expression to represent the total cost of the party. EXPLAIN how each of the 3 expressions below represents the total cost.
(a) Elizabeth’s expression: 15x + 15x + 15x + 70

(b) Heather’s expression: 15(x + x + x) + 70

(c) Erin’s expression: x(15 + 15 + 15) + 70

Answers

Elizabeth finds the cost of each girl's guests and adds the rental cost, for a result of the total cost.

Heather multiplies the cost per guest by the total number of guests, and adds the rental cost.  This has the same result.

Erin multiplies the amount of guests each girl invites with the price per guest, taking the price three times since three girls invite guests.  Then, she adds the rental cost.

Thus, all three equations are equal to the costs of the guests added to the rental cost, which is the full cost.

A store has 255 wool ponchos to sell. There are 112 adult-sized ponchos that sell for $45 each. The rest are kid-sized and sell for $32 each. If the store sells all the ponchos, how much money will the store receive?

Answers

There are 112 adult-sized ponchos for $45 each and 143 kid sized-ponchos for $32 each

112 * 45 = 5,040 
143 * 32 = 4,576 
5,040 + 4,576 = 9,616
 
If the store sells all the ponchos it will receive $9,616
