Explanation / Answer

5).given for round trip price is reduced by $58.

the salr was $189.99

original price = $189.99 + $58

= $247.99

6).

x = avg shopper spend for holiday dinner
y = avg shopper spends for ddecorating , gift wrap and cards

avg shopper spend son holiday dinners = $60 *11/5
= 12*11
=$132

7). k corporation sells 4 times GE dishwashers
let 'x' be corporation sells
and 'y' be GE dishwashers

then x=4y
and the difference is x -y =180
4y -y =180
3y =180
y=60
60 by GE dishwashers

8).let 'x' be joyce cook kits
and 'y' be francis key keys

x+y =870
x=5y

then we have to solve these two equations
5y+y=870
6y=870
y =145

then x=5y =5*145
x=725

joyce sold '725' kits
and francis sold 145

9)

.Lang Corporation sells sets of pots ($18) and dishes ($12)
  
let 'x' be set of pots sold
and 'y' be set of dishes sold

People bought 3 times as many pots as dishes.
y =3x
totall sales = $4884
x+y =$4884
3x+x = 4884
4x=4884

x=1221

x = 68

y = 1221*3

dishes sold = 305

and pots sold =68
