Assume Jerry sells x bags of dried turkey, and 2x bags of dried beef. He profits ($2)x on dried turkey, and ($1.5)(2x) on the dried beef. Therefore, his total profit is 2x + 3x = 5x. Since this is equivalent to $500, we can solve
5x = 500
x = 100
Therefore, Jerry must sell 100 bags of dried turkey and 200 bags of dried beef.
11/8 or 13/8 is the answer.
2x+4=3x+1 they've substituted y =2x+4 into the second eq.
28/100
And that can be simplified
14/50 to 7/25
So 7/25 is the most simplified version
