Answer:
Acording to the question,
Cost per cup = $1.29
Total number of cups = 12
Total cost of cups = 12 x 1.2 = $15.48
Cost of candies = $2.49 per cup
Total number of candies = x
Cost of nuts = $0.69 per cup
Total number of nuts = y
Equations :
x + y = 12 (because total cups of nuts and candies will be equal to 12)
2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48 (Total cost of the 12 cups should be 15.48)
<u>Step 1 : Find x in terms of y</u>
x = 12 - y
<u>Step 2 : substitute x in terms of y from step 1 in the second equation</u>
2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48
2.49 ( 12 - y) + 0.69y = 15.48
29.88 - 2.49y + 0.69y = 15.48
-1.8y = -14.4
y = 14.4/1.8
y = 8
Step 3 : Find x
x + y = 12
x = 12 - y
x = 12- 8
x = 4
Thus,Yumi should use 4 cups of candies and 8 cups of nuts.
<u>Answer:</u>
C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504
D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given that there are 58 left-handed students and 609 right-handed students at East Middle School and these numbers of students are proportional to the number of left and right handed students at East Middle School.
Given the above information, we are are to determine which two options could be the the numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High.
Ratio of right handed to left handed students at East Middle School = 
Checking for ratios of the given options:
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
Therefore, the possible numbers of left-handed and right-handed students at West Junior High could be C. Left-handed: 48, Right-handed: 504 and D. Left-handed: 30, Right-handed: 315.
B = hourly rate for babysitting and w = hourly rate for working at water park
3b + 10w = 109...multiply by -8
8b + 12w = 177...multiply by 3
----------------------
-24b - 80w = - 872 (result of multiplying by -8)
24b + 36w = 531 (result of multiplying by 3)
---------------------add
- 44w = - 341
w = -341/-44
w = 7.75 <=== hourly rate for working at water park
3b + 10w = 109
3b + 10(7.75) = 109
3b + 77.50 = 109
3b = 109 - 77.50
3b = 31.50
b = 31.50/3
b = 10.50 <== hourly rate for babysitting
Answer:
h= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
you divide both sides by 32
and 288 divided by 32 is 9
