Danielle and Michelle visited a candy shop. Danielle bought 10 pounds of strawberry taffy and 1 pound of banana taffy for $46. Michelle bough 1 pound of strawberry taffy and 1 pound of banana taffy for $10. How much does each type of taffy cost?

Banana Taffy: $6.00

Strawberry Taffy: $4.00

Step-by-step explanation:

$46 → $40 + $6

$40/10 = $4

$4 + $6 = $10

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
