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.) $1.75 $2.06 $2.39 $3.99

$1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Total spends on veggies and fruits by Chen = $28.70

Total pints of cut veggies bought = 5

Total pints of cut fruit bought = 7

Let 'v' be the cost of each pint of veggies bought and

'f' be the cost of each pint of fruit bought.

Cost for veggies =

Cost of fruit =

Total cost = Cost of veggies + Cost of fruit

Putting the values:

Given that f = $2.85

Then v = ?

Putting value of in the above equation and finding the value of v:

So, the price of a pint of veggies, .

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

step-by-step explanation:

ok one would be money, and the other would be refreshments or something similar. if each bag of popcorn is 5.00 and each drink is half of that that means drinks are 2.50 the proper way to do that would to look and see how much of each you can buy without exceeding a limit of 30.00
