4) After paying 6 dollars for the ple, Nancy has 94 dollars left How much money did she have before buying the pie ?
Answer:
1) 6 cups- 4 cups = 2 cups
Cups needed to prepare recipe = x = 6
The cups already put = y = 4
The cups to be added are = x-y = 6-4 =2 cups
2)
total roses in vase at the begining= x= 8
total roses in the vase at the end = y =14
The roses cut by Joan = y-x = 14-8 =6
3) 1 catrige cost = 18 dollars
Total amount available = 198
Number of catridges that we can buy using 198 dollars = 198/18= 11
4) Pie cost = x =6 dollars
Remaining dollars =y= 94
total dollars before buying = x+y = 100 dolars
