Malik stops at the grocery store to buy a bag of diapers and 2 cans of formula. He spends a total of $37. The next week he stops and buys 2 bags of diapers and 5 cans of formula for a total of $87. How much does a bag of diapers cost? How much is one can of formula?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Diapers costs $11 and formula is $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name diapers as A and formula as B.

Simply the equations:

1A + 2B = $37(1)

2A + 5B = $87(2)

Clear D from one equation.

A = $37 - 2B(1)

Replace D into the other equation.

2*($37 - 2B) + 5B = $87(2)

$74 - 4B + 5B = $87

$74 + B = $87

B = $87 - $74 = $13

Find A, now knowing B.

A = $37 - 2($13)

A = $37 - $26 = $11

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

Cost of a bag of diapers is $11 and cost of one can of formula is $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of each diaper = $D and cost of each cans of formula = $C

Malik shops a bag of diapers and 2 cans of formula.

He spends total of $37.

So the equation will be

D + 2C = 37 -------(1)

Next week he stops and buys 2 bags of diapers and 5 cans of formula.

He spends total $87.

Equation for this purchase will be

2D + 5C = 87 ----------(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and subtract it from equation (2).

2(D + 2C) - (2D + 5C) = 2×37 - 87

2D + 4C - 2D - 5C = 74 - 87

-C = - 13

C = 13

From equation (1)

D + 2×13 = 37

D + 26 = 37

D = 37 - 26

D = 11

Therefore, cost of a bag of diapers is $11 and cost of one can of formula is $13.

A school has 764 students. Of the students, 118 are in third grade. Whichequation can be used to find s, the total number of students in all of the other
grades?
s – 118 = 764
118 + s = 764
s – 764 = 118
764 + 118 = 8

Answers

The total number of students in all other grades can be represented by the equation 118 + s = 764.

What is an equation?

'In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting themwith the equal to sign.'

According to the given problem,

Total number of students = 764

Number of students in third grade = 118

Let s be the number of students  in all other grades,

⇒ s + 118 = 764

⇒ s = 764 - 118

⇒ s = 646 students

Hence, we can conclude, the number of students in all other can be represented by the equation 118 + s = 764.

Step-by-step explanation:

Min Jee wants to build a small patio using either brick or paver stones.It will be 70 inches long and 49 inches wide. Each brick covers an area of 3 1/2 inches by 7 1/2 inches, and cost $0.59.
Each paver covers an areas 8.4 inches by 8.4 inches and costs $1.88. What would be less expensive to use, and by how much?

Answers

Brick = 3.5 in by 7.5 in and costs $0.59
Paver = 8.4 in by 8.4 in and costs $1.88

The small patio's area = 3430 square inches
The Area of 1 Brick = 26.25 square inches
The Area of 1 Paver = 70.56 square inches

The # of Bricks to complete the Patio will be:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Brick = # of Bricks to complete the patio
3430 square inches / 26.25 square inches = 130.67 = 131

Then, multiply the # of Bricks to complete the patio by the amount that 1 brick costs:

131 * $0.59 = $77.29

It will take $77.29 to complete the Patio with bricks. 

The # of Pavers to complete the Patio:

Patio's Area / the Area of 1 Paver =  # of Pavers to complete the Patio
3430 square inches / 70.56 square inches = 48.6 = 49

Then, multiply the # of Pavers to complete the patio by the amount that 1 Paver costs:

49 * $1.88 = $92.12

Cost of Bricks to complete Patio = $77.29
Cost of Pavers to complete Patio = $92.12

To conclude, Bricks would cost less by $14.83.
