Jerry buys a pack of pencils that cost $3 David buys 4 sets of markers each set of marker also cost 3 what is the total cost of

Answer:

$82.3

Step-by-step explanation:

82 multiplied by 25 equals 2050.

Adding 90 gives 2140.

Dividing 2140 by 26 results in 82.3.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply 3/4 by A, B, or C, it results in a decimal value; however, multiplying 3/4 by 8 yields 6, which is a whole number.

Answer:

A. Combining one pound of pistachios with one pound of almonds costs $20.

C. Decreasing the almond quantity by one pound leads to a total price of $40.

E. The price p (in dollars) per pound of pistachios is represented by the equation 2p + 3(p – 4) = 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

x = cost per pound of pistachios

y = cost per pound of almonds

We know that

x = y + 4 (Equation A)

2x + 3y = 48 (Equation B)

Substitute x from Equation A into Equation B:

2(y + 4) + 3y = 48

2y + 8 + 3y = 48

5y = 48 – 8

y = 8

Find x:

x = 8 + 4 = 12

Therefore, pistachios cost $12 per pound and almonds cost $8 per pound.

Verify the statements:

Case A) One pound of each equals $20.

True, since 12 + 8 = 20.

Case B) Pistachios cost twice as much as almonds.

False, because 2 × 8 = $16 ≠ $12.

Case C) Reducing almond pounds by 1 yields $40 total.

True, as 2(12) + 2(8) = 24 +16 = 40.

Case D) The almond cost modeled by 2(a – 4) + 3a = 48.

False; it should be 2(a + 4) + 3a = 48.

Case E) The pistachio cost modeled by 2p + 3(p – 4) = 48.

True, since p = a + 4 implies a = p – 4.
