Sabrina bought 3 pounds of bananas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

a + b = 8       Eqn 1

0.95a + 1.10b = 8.05    Eqn 2

As we have to find the number of pounds of bananas bought, we will eliminate the variable a from the equation.

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 0.95

0.95(a+b=8)

0.95a+0.95b=7.60     Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(0.95a+1.10b)-(0.95a+0.95b)=8.05-7.60

0.95a+1.10b-0.95a-0.95b=0.45

0.15b = 0.45

Dividing both sides by 0.15

Hence,

Sabrina bought 3 pounds of bananas.

b

step-by-step explanation:

calculate the scale factor as the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = = = 1

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
