Gloria, Teresa, and Rebecca went to an office supply store. Gloria bought 8 pencils, 4 markers, and 6 erasers. Her total was
$22.00. Teresa spent $19.25 buying 5 pencils, 7 markers, and 8 erasers. Rebecca bought 5 pencils, 5 markers, and 4
erasers for $15.75. What is the cost of each item?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

pencil: $2

marker: $0.75

eraser: $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the prices of one pencil, one marker, and one eraser be p, m, and e, respectively.

Gloria:

8p + 4m + 6e = 22         Eq. 1

Teresa:

5p + 7m + 8e = 19.25      Eq. 2

Rebecca:

5p + 5m + 4e = 15.75       Eq. 3

Subtract Eq. 3 from Eq. 2:

2m + 4e = 3.5                Eq. 4

Multiply Eq. 2 by 8 and subtract from it Eq. 1 multiplied by 5.

       40p + 56m + 64e = 154           Eq. 2 times 8

(-)     40p + 20m + 30e = 110            Eq. 1 times 5

----------------------------------------

                  36m + 34e = 44        

                  18m + 17e = 22              Eq.5

Now use Equations 4 and 5 as a system of two equations in two variables.

Multiply Eq. 4 by 18. Subtract Eq. 5 from it.

       36m + 72e = 63

(-)     36m + 34e = 44

-----------------------------

                  38e = 19

e = 19/38

e = 0.5

Now substitute e = 0.5 into Eq. 4 to fond m.

2m + 4e = 3.5

2m + 4(0.5) = 3.5

2m + 2 = 3.5

2m = 1.5

m = 0.75

Substitute e = 0.5 and m = 0.75 into Eq. 1 to find p.

8p + 4m + 6e = 22

8p + 4(0.75) + 6(0.5) = 22

8p + 3 + 3 = 22

8p = 16

p = 2

Answer:

pencil: $2

marker: $0.75

eraser: $0.5

Answer 2

The cost of each of the items are: cost of pencil = $2, cost of marker = $ 3 / 4  and cost of eraser = $ 1 / 2

let

the cost of pencil = x

the cost of marker = y

the cost of eraser = z

How to form the equation to calculate cost of each item

Gloria bought 8 pencils, 4 markers, and 6 erasers. Therefore,

8x + 4y + 6z = 22

Teresa spent $19.25 buying 5 pencils, 7 markers, and 8 erasers. Therefore,

5x + 7y + 8z = 19.25

Rebecca bought 5 pencils, 5 markers, and 4 erasers for $15.75. Therefore,

5x + 5y + 4z = 15.75

Let'a combine the equation

8x + 4y + 6z = 22

5x + 7y + 8z = 19.25

5x + 5y + 4z = 15.75

Therefore,

x = 2, y = 3 / 4 and z = 1 / 2

Therefore, the cost of each item are as follows;

cost of pencil = $2

cost of marker = $ 3 / 4

cost of eraser = $ 1 / 2

Answer:

The equation to find [tex]x[/tex] is [tex](5\cdot x - 2)^{\circ} + (2\cdot x -2)^{\circ} + x^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}[/tex].

The degree measure of each angle is: [tex]m\angle J = 113^{\circ}[/tex], [tex]m\angle K = 44^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]m\angle L = 23^{\circ}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

From Euclidean Geometry we remember that the sum of internal angles in triangles equals 180°. If we know that [tex]m\angle J = (5\cdot x -2)^{\circ}[/tex], [tex]m \angle K = (2\cdot x - 2)^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]m\angle L = x^{\circ}[/tex], then we construct the following equation of the triangle JKL in function of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]m\angle J + m\angle K + m\angle L = 180^{\circ}[/tex] (1)

[tex](5\cdot x - 2)^{\circ} + (2\cdot x -2)^{\circ} + x^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]8\cdot x -4 = 180^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]8\cdot x = 184[/tex]

[tex]x = 23[/tex]

Finally, the measure of each angle is, respectively:

[tex]m\angle J = (5\cdot x -2)^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle J = 113^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m \angle K = (2\cdot x - 2)^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle K = 44^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle L = x^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]m\angle L = 23^{\circ}[/tex]

Solve for x.

What you need to do is 55/5 = 11.

Then multiply that 11 to 8.

11 * 8 = 88.

Basically, if you are multiplying 5 by 11 to get 55, you need to multiply 8 by 11 to get 88.
