Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. he spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints of cut fruit. the food cost is modeled by the equation 5 v plus 7 f equals 28.70, where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. if the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies? (round to the nearest cent, as needed.)

The price of a pint of veggies is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to equations and solve them to find

 the answer

- Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting

- He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints

 of cut fruit

- The food cost is modeled by the equation 5 v + 7 f = 28.70, where

  v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents

  the cost of one pint of cut fruit

∴ The first equation is 5 v + 7 f = 28.70 ⇒ (1)

- The cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85

∵ f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit

∴ f = 2.85

- Substitute the value of f in equation (1) to find the value of v

∵ 5 v + 7 f = 28.70 ⇒ (1)

∵ f = 2.85

∴ 5 v + 7 (2.85) = 28.70

∴ 5 v + 19.95 = 28.70

- Subtract 19.95 from each side

∴ 5 v = 8.75

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ v = 1.75

∵  v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies

∴ The price of a pint of veggies is $1.75

answer: .64

step-by-step explanation

set up the formula for standard deviation for this set of numbers, then simplify

area of rectangle a is 2 times that of rectangle b that means 2x+x =   36cm^2

3x = 36cm ^2

x = 36/3

x= 12cm^2

and 2x = 24cm^2

now side of square = are divided by sides = 36/4 = 6cm

that means length of rectangle a and b is 6cm too

now for rectangle a,

l*b = area

= 6*y=24

y=24/6 = 4

therefore dimensions of rectangle a are- length = 6cm, breadth = 4cm

and for rectangle b, length = 6cm and breadth = 6-4 = 2cm.

hope this .
