. Three types of shirts sold at a store cost $9.00, $11.00, and $12.50. One day, the store sells a total of 23 shirts and makes

$243 on the sales. Twice as many shirts were sold for $12.50 than were sold for $11.00. If x represents $9.00 shirts, y represents $11.00 shirts and z represents $12.50 shirts, how many of each type of shirt were sold?
Write a system of equations to represent this situation and then solve the system.


There are 2 parts to this question.


#1 - Write the system of 3 equations.


#2 - write the solutions to the system.

Answer:

X + 3y = 23

9x + 36y = 243

11 shirts sold at $9.0 per shirt, 4 shirts sold at $11 per shirt and 8 shirts sold at $12.5 per shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

-----Since we are told to assume that the number of shirts sold for $9.00 each is x, that of $11.00 is y and also that of $12.50 is z.

9x + 11y + 12.5z = 243

9x + 11y + 12.5(2y) = 243

9x + 36y = 243_______ equation 1

----- The statement also read that One day, the store sells a total of 23 shirts and makes $243 on the sales. TWICE AS MANY SHIRTS WERE SOLD FOR $12.50 THAN WERE SOLD FOR $11.00

Z = 2y

x + y + z = 23

X + y + 2y = 23

X + 3y = 23_____ equation 2

Now multiply the above by 9 to have this equation's "x" sharing the same coefficient with that of equation 1

9x + 27 = 207 will be the new one___equation 3

-----Subtract equation 3 from 1 and we have

9x + 36y = 243____ equation 1

9x + 27y = 207____ equation 3

9y = 36

Y = 4

-----Substitute y = 4 in equation 2

X + 3y = 23

X + 4(3) = 23

X + 12 = 23

X = 23 - 12

X = 11

-----Remember that x + y + z = 23

11 + 4 + z = 23

15 + z = 23

Z = 23 - 15

Z = 8.

So therefore, x =11 shirts, y = 4 shirts and z = 8 shirts

62 divided by 495 is 0.125252525...
so we know its repeating 
irrational numbers are any numbers that can’t be written as fractions or asdecimals that terminate or repeat. 
so we know that it is a rational number
so the answer is A

Lee las situaciones y realiza lo siguiente con cada una:
Julli [10]

Answer:

Part 1) see the explanation

Part 2) see the explanation

Part 3) see the explanation

Part 4) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

Read the situations and do the following with each one:

Write down the magnitudes involved

Write which magnitude is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable

It represents the function that describes the situation

SITUATIONS:

1) A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes.

2) An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

3) A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

4) 10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Part 1) we have

A machine prints 840 pages every 30 minutes

Let

x ----> the time in minutes (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of pages that the machine print (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=840\ pages\\x=30\ minutes

substitute

 k=\frac{840}{30}=28\ pages/minute

The linear equation is

y=28x

Part 2) we have

An elevator takes 6 seconds to go up two floors.

Let

x ----> the time in seconds (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the number of floors (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=2\ floors\\x=6\ seconds

substitute

 k=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\ floors/second

The linear equation is

y=\frac{1}{3}x

Part 3) we have

A company rents a car at S/ 480 for 12 days.

Let

x ----> the number of days (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost of rent a car (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=\$480\\x=12\ days

substitute

 k=\frac{480}{12}=\$40\ per\ day

The linear equation is

y=40x

Part 4) we have

10 kilograms of papaya cost S/ 35

Let

x ----> the kilograms of papaya (represent the variable independent or input value)

y ---> the cost  (represent the dependent variable or output value)

Remember that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem

we have a a proportional variation

so

The value of the constant of proportionality is equal to

 k=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=\$35\\x=10\ kg

substitute

 k=\frac{35}{10}=\$3.5\ per\ kg

The linear equation is

y=3.5x

What is 4% as a simplified fraction?
zysi [14]
4% is the same as .04 and 4/100. 4/100 can be simplified to 1/25 by dividing both sides of the fraction by 4
