Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the price per pound for grapefruit, "y" the price per pound for oranges.
We know that Steve buys 2 pounds of grapefruit and 3 of oranges for $7.20.
This means that the sum of the products of 
and 
is $7.20. Then, we can write this equation to represent it:
Kennedy buys 4 pounds of grapefruit and 2 pounds of oranges for $8.80.
This means that the sum of the products of 
and 
is $8.80. Then, we can write this equation to represent this:
Therefore, we get that the system of equations that models the situation is:
Answer:
a = 0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Our strategy to solve this problem will be to use the information given in the table to obtain first the value of c in the quadratic equation which has the form ax^2 + bx + c and then form a system of 2 linear equations and solve for the coefficients a and b as follow:
from x=0 and y=-3 a*0 + b* 0 + c = - 3
c = -3
from x=1 and y= -3.75
a*(1) + *(1) + (-3) = -3.75
a + b = -3.75 + 3 = -0.75
from x= 2 and y = -4
a* (2)^2 + b*(2) + (-3) = -4
4a + 2b = -4 +1
4a + 2b = -1
Now we can solve the system f equations by elimination:
a + b = -0.75
4a + 2b = -1
multiply first equation by -2 and add to the second and get
-2a - 2b = +1.50
4a + 2b = -1
2a = 0.50 and substituting into any of the equations get b = -1
so the quadratic equation has a= 0.25 b= -1 c= -3
we can even plug the any of the other values for x given in the table and check the answer.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>Each of the equations has two parts:</u>
1- base fee that is independent of any variable (this would be the number that has no variable next to it)
2- an hourly rate depending on the number of hours x (this would be the number that has an x next to it)
<u>For the first electrician:</u>
y = 25x + 30
base fee = $30
hourly rate = $25
<u>For the second electrician:</u>
y = 30x + 25
base fee = $25
hourly rate = $30
<u>For the third electrician:</u>
y = 25x + 20
base fee = $20
hourly rate = $25
<u>Now, let's check the choices:</u>
<span><u>a.Each electrician charges a different hourly rate:</u>
</span>This is incorrect as electricians 1 and 3 charge the same hourly rate ($25)
<span><u>b.Each electrician charges a different base fee:</u>
This is correct as all three base fees are different ($30, $20 and $25)
</span><span><u>c.All three electricians charge the same hourly rate:</u>
This is incorrect as electrician 2 has a different hourly rate
</span><span><u>d. All three electricians charge the same base fee:</u>
This is incorrect as the base fees for the three electricians are different ($30, $25 and $20)
Hope this helps :)</span>
378% is the correct answer. Divide 280 by 100 to find 1 percent. Then multiply by 135 to find 135%
Answer:
7/11 of the Pizza was left for Zachary.
Step-by-step explanation:
Zachary had 1 - 4/11
= 11/11 - 4 /11
= 7/11.
