To find the total of what you sold for each package, you'll need to write two equations. Know that x = paper plate packages and y = utensil packages.
First, x + y = 15 shows that there has to be fifteen packages, and 8x + 5y = 90 shows the $ made from selling a certain number of packages.
Next, you can solve by substitution, so change x + y = 15 to y = 15 - x.
To find our x, substitute the y in 8x + 5y = 90 to get
8x + 5(15 - x) = 90
Distribute: 8x + 75 - 5x = 90
Combine the X's and subtract the 75: 3x = 15
Divide the 3: x = 5
Now with our x, we can put 5 into the original equation x + y = 15 to get 5 + y = 15. Subtracting the 5, we get y = 10.
So, you have delivered 5 paper plate packages and 10 utensil packages.
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write 75% as a fraction, 75/100 and simplifying the fraction gives 3/4.
Then you have to multiply 1/2 * 3/4 which gives the result of 3/8.
Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
So DF = 42, And we know that DF = DE + EF
Therefore (7x+1) + (4x-3) = 42
11x -2 = 42
11x = 44
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 onto DE equation, so 7(4) +1
= 29.

Answer:
Company 2 because it is gaining six times the number of employees, while Company 1 is only adding 6 employees every year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the table, the number of employees in Company 1 goes up by 6 employees per year.
The number of employees in Company 2 is multiplied by 6 every year; this means they gain more employees after the first year than Company 2 does (they go from 6 to 36, which is a gain of 30, while Company 1 goes from 6 to 12, a gain of 6).
If we are looking strictly at the number of employees, Company 2 is the better choice.
