38b + 61t = 791.50....multiply by 27
54b + 50t = 923.....multiply by -19
-------------------
1026b + 1647t = 21370.5 (result of multiplying by 27)
-1026b - 950t = - 17537 (result of multiplying by -19)
------------------add
697t = 3833.50
t = 3833.50 / 697
t = 5.50 <=== cost of each towel

38b + 61t = 791.50
38b + 61(5.50) = 791.50
38b + 335.50 = 791.50
38b = 791.50 - 335.50
38b = 456
b = 456/38
b = 12 <== cost of each bed sheet

so the cost of 1 towel and 1 bed sheet is : 12 + 5.50 = 17.50

Inessa [10]

Answer:

\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{Own cat}&\text{Do not own cat}&\text{Total}\\\text{Own dog}& 45 & 125 & 170\\\text{Do not own dog}& 78 & 52 & 130 \\\text{Total}& 123 & 177 &300\end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table you can see that

  • 45 customers own cat and dog;
  • 78 own only cat, then 78+45=123 customers own cat;
  • 125 own only dog, then 125+45=170 customers own dog;
  • 52 own neither cat, nor dog;
  • 78+45+125+52=300 customers in total;
  • 300-123=177 customers do not own cat;
  • 300-170=130 customers do not own dog.

Two-way table is

\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{Own cat}&\text{Do not own cat}&\text{Total}\\\text{Own dog}& 45 & 125 & 170\\\text{Do not own dog}& 78 & 52 & 130 \\\text{Total}& 123 & 177 &300\end{array}
