vans = v, buses = b, students = s

8v + 8b =312s ...eqn 1

9v + 4b = 196s ...eqn 2

divide eqn 1 by 2

4v + 4b = 156s ...eqn 3

eqn 2 - eqn 3

5v = 40s

v = 8s

subst v = 8s in eqn 2

72s + 4b = 196 s

b = 31s

answer

each van holds 8 students and each bus holds 31 students

Answer:

5 cartons  of eggs

3 packages  of steaks

Total cost=$55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to find the least common multiple of  

6 (number of eggs in a carton) and 10 (number of ham steaks in each package)

LCM = 30

6 12 18 24 30

10 20 30 40 50

Since each carton of eggs (x) has 6 eggs, that expression must be equal to 30(eggs) to find the number of cartons.

6 (x ) = 30

Solving for x

x = 30/6

x = 5 cartons

Same process for the steak, where y= number of packages .  

10 y = 30

y = 30/10

y=3 packages

Since each carton costs $2 and each package of steaks cost $15:

Total Cost =x 2+y 15  

Replacing with the values of x and y calculated

Total cost = (5)2 + (3)15 = 10+45 =$55

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

A grocery sold 5kg of wheat flour at Rs30 per kg and gained 20%. If he had sold it at Rs27 per kg, what would be his gain or los
maria [59]

Answer:

His gain percent would have been 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this question is to first calculate the price at which the wheat flour was bought.

Mathematically;

% profit = (selling price-cost price)/cost price * 100%

Let the cost price be $x

Thus;

% profit = (30-x)/x * 100

20 = 100(30-x)/x

20x = 3000-100x

100x + 20x = 3000

120x = 3000

x = 3000/120

x = Rs 25

So let’s assume he sold at Rs 27

His profit would have been 27-25 = 2

His gain or loss percentage would’ve been;

2/25 * 100/1 = 200/25 = 8% (gain, since selling price is greater than the cost price)

Solve the system of linear equations.<br> 2x - 3y = 18
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x = (18 + 3y)/2 y = (18 - 2x)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For whichever variable you want to solve for, isolate it on one side. For example, if you want to solve for x, first add 3y to each side.

2x = 18 + 3y

Then, divide everything by two.

x = (18 + 3y)/2
