Let X represent the cost of the soup.
Let Y denote the cost of the salad.
The total cost for both is expressed as X + Y = 5.50 (equation 1).
Given that the cost of the soup (X) is $1 more than the cost of the salad (Y), we can write the second equation as X = Y + 1 (equation 2).
By substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we arrive at Y + Y + 1 = 5.50, leading to 2Y + 1 = 5.50, and solving this yields Y = 2.25.
Now substituting Y back into equation 1: X + 2.25 = 5.50, thus X = 5.50 - 2.25, and hence the cost of soup is 3.25 or 325 cents, while salad is 225 cents.

The combined cost of soup and salad is $5.50.

The price of soup is $1 more than that of salad.

We substitute these relationships:

Salad + 1 + Salad = 5.50

This simplifies to 2 Salads = 4.50

Thus, Salad = $2.25
= 225 cents.

arsen [3447]

a. The current total asset value for Klingon is calculated as follows: total assets equal net fixed assets plus current assets. Here, net fixed assets are $3,400,000, and current assets total $1,130,000, which is derived from net working capital plus current liabilities ($235,000 + $895,000). Hence, total assets amount to $3,400,000 + $1,130,000, leading to a total of $4,530,000. b. The market value of net working capital stands at $1,150,000, and the market value of fixed assets is $5,100,000. Therefore, when these figures are combined, the total fair market value amounts to $1,150,000 + $5,100,000, which equals $6,250,000.
