two groups of students order cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets at mcdonald’s. one order of 9 cheeseburgers and 4 chicken nuggets cost $22.37. the other order of 3 cheeseburgers and 4 chicken nuggets cost $15.23. find the cost of a cheeseburger

$1.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a cheeseburger be $b and that of a chicken nugget be $n.

From the given information, we can form 2 equations.

9b +4n= 22.37 (1)

3b +4n= 15.23 (2)

Notice that the 2 equations have '4n' in them. I'll be using elimination method to solve the equation by getting rid of the 4n.

(1) -(2):

9b +4n -(3b +4n)= 22.37 -15.23

9b +4n -3b -4n= 7.14

6b= 7.14 (simplify)

b= 7.14 ÷6 (÷6 on both sides)

b= 1.19

Thus, a cheeseburger cost $1.19.

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
