A. Your not multiplying 8 by anything to get this answer your taking 8-14-a
Answer:
A = 219
C = 362
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
581 = C + A
and
$1090.50 = 1.5C + 2.5A
solve 1st for A
A =581 - C
substute into 2nd
1090.50 = 1.5C + 2.5(581 - C)
solve for C
1090.50 = 1.5C + 1452.50 - 2.5C
1090.50 = -C + 1452.50
1090.50 - 1452.50 = -C
-362 = -C
C = 362
then
581 = C + A
581 = 362 + A
219 = A
A = 219
1,068 is your answer. There will be 356 in each shipment because 1,424 divided by 4 is 356. And 356 times 3 is 1,068.
