Question

Kayla wants to plant a garden that contains only tomatoes and squash. She only has enough space to plant 40 vegetables, and she only has $80 to spend. Tomatoes cost $1 per plant and squash costs $3 a plant. Let t represent tomatoes and s represent squash. Write a system of equations for the question above. How many tomatoes and how many squash can Kayla plant?

Answer 1

she can plant 20 tomatoes and 20 squash.

How to write system of equation?

She only has enough space to plant 40 vegetables, and she only has $80 to spend.  

Therefore,

let

t = number of tomatoes

s = number of squash

Therefore,

t + s = 40

t + 3s = 80

3s - s = 80 - 40

2s = 40

divide both sides by 2

2s / 2 = 40 / 2

s = 20

Therefore,

t  = 40 - 20

t = 20

Therefore, she can plant  20 tomatoes and 20 squash.
