Question

 MAXIMUM POINT WILL BE GIVEN!!! I NEED THIS RN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Part a) The variables are

x (the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold)

y (the number o boxes of juice that were sold)

Part b) The system of equations is

$x+y=79$ and $1.65x+1.36y=118.17$

Part c) $x=37,y=42$

Part d) The value of y represent the number of boxes of juice that were sold $y=42\ boxes\ of\ juice$

The value of x represent the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold $x=37\ packages\ of\ Twinkies$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Define the variables in this situation

Let

x-----> the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold

y----> the number of boxes of juice that were sold

Part b) Write a system of equations that model the problem

we know that

$x+y=79$ ------> equation A  

$1.65x+1.36y=118.17$ ---> equation B

Part c) Use the linear combination method to find the solution to the system you wrote in part b

Multiply equation A by -1.65

$-1.65(x+y)=-1.65*79$  

$-1.65x-1.65y=-130.35$ ------> equation C

Adds equation C and equation B

$-1.65x-1.65y=-130.35\\1.65x+1.36y=118.17\\---------\\-1.65y+1.36y=-130.35+118.17\\-0.29y=-12.18\\y=42$

Find the value of x

$x+y=79$

$x+42=79$

$x=79-42=37$

Part d) Using a complete sentence, explain what the solution found in part c represents

The value of y represent the number of boxes of juice that were sold

so

$y=42\ boxes\ of\ juice$

The value of x represent the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold

so

$x=37\ packages\ of\ Twinkies$
