Micheal buys two bags or chips and three boxes of pretzels for $5.13 . he then buys another bag of chips and 2 boxes of pretzels for $3.09 . how much does a bag of chips cost

So a bag of chip costs $2.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of a bag of chip

Let y = cost of a box of pretzel

Micheal buys two bags of chips and three boxes of pretzels for $5.13

This means

2x + 3y = 5.13 - - - - - - - - - -1

He then buys another bag of chips and 2 boxes of pretzels for $3.09

This means

x + 2y = 3.09 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Solving equation 1 and equation 2 simultaneously and using the elimination method,

Multiply equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2

2x + 3y = 5.13

2x + 6y = 6.18

Subtracting,

-3y = -1.05

y = -1.05/-3= $0.35

Put y= 0.35 in equation, x + 2y = 3.09

x + 2(0.35)= 3.09

x + 0.7= 3.09

x = 3.09-0.7 = $ 2.39

So a bag of chip costs $2.39

1 and 2

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
