no. of boys : no.of girls
100 : 140
to get the simplest ratio you gotta divide both with a common factor
Because both 100 and 140 share a common factor of 20
the simplest ratio will be
100/20 : 140/20
5:7
5:7 is the simplest ratio
Use a system of equations
C+P=1132
3P=C
Substitute C in first equation as
3P+P=1132
Simplify
4P=1132
Solve
P=1132/4
P=283
NOW SOLVE FOR C SUBSTITUTING P VALUE IN FIRST EQUATION
C+283=1132
C=1132-283
C=849
Printer = 283$
Computer = 849$
I hope this helps. If you don’t understand it I will explain it again
Ok, let’s take it step by step.
In order to write an equation in slope intercept form, solve for y.
3x+4y=12
First, subtract 3x from both sides.
4y=-3x+12
Now, divide both sides by 4.
y=-3/4x+3.
So, 3x+4y=12 written in slope intercept form is y=-3/4x+3.
