Given :
The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.
The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.
To Find :
How many packages of each size were shipped.
Solution :
We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.
Let, number of large and small box are l and s.
So,
25l + 6s = 327 ...1)
0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)
Solving both the equations, we get :
x = 9 and y = 17
Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .
Hence, this is the required solution.
5x+8y = 24
The answer is c) y=3 -5/8 x
Answer:
(6 , -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+ y = 11 ----------------(I)
y = 11 - 2x --------------------(II)
Multiply the whole equation by 2
x - 10y = 16 --------------------(III)
Substitute y = 11- 2x in equation (III)
x - 10(11 - 2x) = 16
x - 110 + 20x = 16
21x - 110 = 16
21x = 16 +110
21x = 126
x = 126/21
x = 6
Plugin x = 6 in equation (II)
y = 11 - 2*6
y = 11 - 12
y = -1
50 percent is the probability
