Answer: 56 large cars and 86 small cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

l: the number of large cars.

s: the number of small cars.

Then, you can set up the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{l+s=142} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.

You can use the Elimination Method:

- Multiply the first equation by -4.0

- Add both equations.

- Solve for l.

\left \{ {{-4.0l-4.0s=-568} \atop {5.50l+4.0s=652.50}} \right.\\--------\\1.5l=84.5

l≈56

Substitute l=56 into one of the original equations and solve for <em>s:</em>

<em> </em>56+s=142\\s=142-56\\s=86

David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9. Frances gets ?80 more than David. Explain how you know Egil gets ?80.
Natalija [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that David, Egil and Frances share money in the ratio 2:7:9.

Let 2x, 7x and 9x be the amounts of money that David, Agil and Frances get respectively.  

We are told that Frances gets $80 more than David. So we can write this information in an equation as:

9x=2x+80

Now let us solve for x.

9x-2x=80

7x=80

x=\frac{80}{7}

Now let us substitute x=\frac{80}{7} in 7x (amount of money that Egil gets).

\text{ Amount of money that Egil will get}=7\cdot \frac{80}{7}

Upon cancelling out 7 from numerator and denominator we will get,

\text{ Amount of money that Egil will get}=80  

Therefore, Egil will get $80.
