Question

A chef bought $17.01 worth of ribs and chicken. Ribs cost 1.89 per pound and chicken costs 0.90 per pound. The equation 0.9c+1.89r=17.01

represents the relationship between the quantities in this situation.

b. r=-10/21c+9

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that ribs cost $1.89 per pound and chicken costs $0.90 per pound, a chef bought $17.01 worth of ribs and chicken. The equation 0.9c + 1.89r = 17.01 represents the relationship between the quantities in this situation.

To find the value of 'r' in terms of 'c', we need to solve for 'r' in the given equation 0.9c + 1.89r = 17.01.

0.9c + 1.89r = 17.01
1.89r = -0.9c + 17.01
r = (-0.9c + 17.01) / 1.89

Simplifying the above equation, we get:
r = (-10/21)c + 9

Therefore, the value of 'r' in terms of 'c' is r = (-10/21)c + 9.
