Afood processor for $149.50 cash, or $5.00 down and $10.00 per month for 15 months

Difference in cash and plan = $155 - $149.50 = $5.50

Interest Rate = 3.68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:A food processor for $149.50 cash, or $5.00 down and $10.00 per month for 15 months

A food processor by cash = $149.50

Payment plan =  Down payment + $10*15 months

= $5 + $10*15

= $5 + $150

Payment plan = $155

Difference in cash and plan = $155 - $149.50 = $5.50

Now we have to find the interest rate

= (difference/original)*100

= (5.50/149.50)*100

Interest Rate = 3.68%

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
