<span>Let x=smaller number 
Then x+5=larger number 
Now we are told the following: 
1/5(x+x+5)=x-5 multiply each side by 5 
x+x+5=5x-25 subtract 5x and also 5 from both sides 
x+x+5-5-5x=5x-5x-25-5 collect like terms
</span><span>-3x=-30 divide both sides by -3
x=10 smaller number 
x+5=10+5=15  larger number 
CK 
1/5(10+15)=10-5 
1/5(25)=10-5
5=5 </span>

For Thursday, the package weights in ounces are given by: {18, 19, 20, 19}.

Cans of wood varnish come in three sizes.
LenKa [72]

The cost of 1 liter for the small and medium cans is 4.4 and 2.4.

<h3>What is Unitary method?</h3>

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.

As,  

Small can: A 200 ml can costs £0.88.

Medium can: A 500 ml can costs £1.32.

Large can: A 1 litre can costs £3.60.

Now, 200 ml = 0.2 l

500 ml = 0.5 l

For 0.2 l = 0.88

For 1 l= 0.88/0.2

For 1 liter = 4.4

For 0.5l medium can = 1.32

For 1 l medium can= 1.32/0.5

For 1 l medium can = 2.4

Hence, cost of 1 liter for the small can is £ 0.88 the cost of 1 liter for the medium can is £ 2.4.
