Let
x---------> <span>quantity (ton) of vegetables sold the first day
</span>y---------> quantity (ton) of vegetables sold the second day
z---------> quantity (ton) of vegetables sold the third day
we know that
x=y-3---------> equation 1
z=(5/9)*(x+y)------> equation 2
x+y+z=98-----> equation 3
substitute equation 2 in equation 3
x+y+[(5/9)*(x+y)]=98----> multiply by 9----> 9x+9y+5x+5y=882
14x+14y=882-----> equation 4
to resolve the equations system formed by
x=y-3
14x+14y=882
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=30
y=33
x+y+z=98----> z=98-(x+y)----> z=98-63---> 35
the answer is
vegetables sold the first day----> 30 tonvegetables sold the second day----> 33 tonvegetables sold the third day------> 35 ton
In this question, it is given that
Marcus bought pumpkins that weigh 8 lb, 11 lb, 23 lb, and 15 lb.
And we have to find the mean weight .
To find the mean weight, we will first add all the weights, then divide them by number of pumpkins which is 4.
So the mean weight is

Therefore the mean weight is 14.25 lb .
