6 0

If #peaches = x and #plums = y we can write the following equations:

x+y=15
0.89x + 0.39y = 8.85

and x and y are whole numbers.

converting the first to x=15-y and plugging it into the second, you get

0.89(15-y) + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
13.35 - 0.89y + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
4.5 = 0.5y =>
y = 9

so x = 15-9 = 6

Can someone please help me with this question I don’t understand it

Brand A: 32 Diapers, $8.99: about 28 cents per diaper

Brand B: 50 Diapers, $12.49: about 24 cents per diaper

You divide the amount of diapers by the money.

For example, 32 diapers/$8.99 equals about 28 cents per diaper and 50 diapers/$12.49 equals about 24 cents per diaper.

Brand B is the better deal since you save about 4 cents more.
