a post office always charges a flat one time fee for any order. one time, michael sent 35 letters and paid 26 dollars. the next time, he sent 18 letters and paid $14.10. how much does the post office charge to send one letter? what is the flat fee?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.70 per letter, $1.50 flat fee

Step-by-step explanation:

x+18y=14.1 -> x=-18y+14.1

x+35y=26

|

\/

(-18y+14.1)+35y=26 -> 17y=11.9 -> y=0.7

|

\/

x+35(0.7)=26 -> x+24.5=26 -> x=1.5

|

\/

y=0.7

x=1.5

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 2

The post office charges $0.70 to send one letter, and there is a flat fee of $1.50.

How to determine the the flat fee (F) charged by the post office

To find the cost of sending one letter, we need to determine the flat fee charged by the post office.

Let's denote the flat fee as 'F' and the cost per letter as 'C'.

From the given information, we can set up the following equations:

Equation 1: F + 35C = 26

Equation 2: F + 18C = 14.10

We can solve this system of equations to find the values of F and C.

First, we subtract Equation 2 from Equation 1 to eliminate F:

(F + 35C) - (F + 18C) = 26 - 14.10

17C = 11.90

Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 17 to solve for C:

C = 11.90 / 17

C ≈ 0.70

Therefore, the cost to send one letter (C) is approximately $0.70.

To find the flat fee (F), we can substitute the value of C into either Equation 1 or Equation 2. Let's use Equation 1:

F + 35(0.70) = 26

F + 24.50 = 26

F = 26 - 24.50

F = 1.50

Therefore, the flat fee (F) charged by the post office is $1.50.

Please help me i tried to do this but I really don't get this can somebody help? plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss(sorry for spam)

Answers

I’m not entirely sure how to answer this without a word problem, but from what I see, all you have to do is multiply the two numbers.
12 x 43= 516
5 x 88 = 440
8x 63= 504
7 x 28= 196
Usually, when you see a number followed by another number in parentheses, like here, that means to multiply.
12(43)=516
5(88)=440
8(63)=504
7(28)=196

Gina wants to solve the following proportion.

A. explain how to solve the problem.

B. solve the proportion. show your work.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

please don't understand the question. will be happy if you take a shot of it.

Thanks

a/5/8 = 3/5 / 2/3

We can take the reciprocal of the denominator, since the denominator itself is a fraction

The above equation can be rephrased as,
(a) / (5/8) = (3/5) / (2/3)

Taking reciprocal

8a / 5 = 3*3 / 5*2

8a / 5 = 9 / 5*2

a = 9 * 5 / 5*2*8

5’s get canceled, 2 and 8 gets multiplied in the denominator.

We will then be left with,

a = 9 / 16

Fergus has 3 1/4 cups of oats

= 7/12 cups of oats left

She borrowed 1 cup of oats from neighbour

7/12 + 1/1

Why are the divisibility rules for 2, 3, and 5 very useful for determining prime and composite numbers

1. They are the smallest odd numbers
2. They add up to 10
3. They are prime numbers with nice divisibility rules
4. They multiply to 30
5. They can be multiplied together to make every number

Answers

Answer:

option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

alright, ima explain each option.

1. "smallest odd numbers" 2 is an even number. that's out of the playing field.

2. "add up to 10" sure, they do add up to 10, but finding prime and composite numbers are all about division and multiplication.

3. this is true. 2, 3, and 5 are all prime numbers, and they have the nice divisibility rules. [ for 2, it has to be even, for 5, it has to end in 0 or 5, and 3 has to have the sum of its digits being divisible by 3. ]

4. they do multiply to 30, but this does not help break the composite numbers down.

5. we cannot make every number with just these. we can not multiply any other whole number to get 7 for per example, because it's a prime number.
