On a recent trip to the convenience store, you picked up 4 gallons of milk, 6 bottles of water and 5 snack size bags of chips. You total bill before tax was $ 27.2. If a bottle of water costs twice as much as a bag of chips, and a gallon of milk costs $1.80 more than a bottle of water, how much does each item cost

How much does a snack size bag of chips cost?

How much does a bottle of water cost?

How much does a gallon of milk cost?

Cost of a snack size bag of chips = $0.8

Cost of a water bottle = $1.6

Cost of a gallon of milk = $3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of water bottle = $a

Cost of 1 gallon milk = $b

and cost of 1 bag of chips = $c

So, cost of 4 gallons of milk, 6 bottles of water and 5 bags of chips = $(4b + 6a + 5c)

4b + 6a + 5c = 27.2 -----(1)

Cost of one water bottle = 2 × cost of one bag of chips

a = 2c -----(2)

A gallon of milk = cost of water bottle + $1.80

b = a + 1.8

From equation (2)

b = 2c + 1.8 -----(3)

Now we substitute these values from equations (2) and (3) in equation (1)

4(2c + 1.8) + 6(2c) + 5c = 27.2

8c + 7.2 + 12c + 5c = 27.2

25c = 27.2 - 7.2

c =

c = $0.8

From equation (2)

a = 2×0.8

a = $1.6

From equation (3)

b = 2(0.8) + 1.8

b = 1.6 + 1.8

b = $3.4

Therefore, cost of a snack size bag of chips = $0.8

Cost of a water bottle = $1.6

Cost of a gallon of milk = $3.4

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
