Margo brought 7 pens from a book store some pens cost $3.00 EACH and the rest cost $4.00 . If she paid a total of 23.00 for the

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Margo bought 7 pens for $23.

Some pens are $3 and some $4.

We need to find how many $3 pens she bought.

Let the number of $3 pens be represented by p and let the number of $3 pens be represented by r. So:

p = $3 and r = $4

Now we know 7 pens were purchased so is we add the number of $3 pens purchased to the number of $4 pens purchased, we will get 7.

p + r = 7

We know that the total cost of the pens is $23 so that equation would be found by takign the $3 pen multiplied by the number of $3 pens purchsed added to the $4 pen multiplied by the number of $4 pens purchsed, which equals $23.

$3p + $4r = $23

Now we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns.

p + r = 7

$3p + $4r = $23

Let's solve for r in the first equation.

p + r = 7 Subtract p from both sides.

p - p + r = 7 - p The p on the left cancels.

r = 7 - p

Now that we know r, we can substitute it into the second equation and solve for p.

$3p + $4r = $23

3p + 4( 7 - p) = 23 Multiply it out.

3p + 4*7 - 4*p = $23

3p + 28 - 4p = 23 Combine like terms.

3p - 4p + 28 = 23

- 1p + 28 = 23 Subtract 28 from both sides.

- p + 28 - 28 = 23 - 28

- p = - 5 Divide each side by -1

- p/- 1 = - 5/ - 1 The negative cancels on each side.

p = 5

We can see Margo bought 5 $3 pens.

For fun, let's solve for how many $4 pens she bought. We know p, so we plug it in the first equation and solve for r.

p + r = 7

5 + r = 7 Subtract 5 from each side

5 - 5 + r = 7 - 5

r = 7 - 5

r = 2

So Margo bought 5 $3 pens and 2 $4 pens!

Francis works at Carlos Bakery and is making cookie trays. She has 48 chocolate chip cookies, 64 rainbow cookies, and 120 oatmea

amm1812

The number of cookies and trays are illustrations of greatest common factors.

The number of trays is 8
6 chocolate chips, 8 rainbows and 15 oatmeal cookies would fit each tray

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip=48}$

$\mathbf{Rainbow=64}$

$\mathbf{Oatmeal=120}$

(a) The number of trays

To do this, we simply calculate the greatest common factor of 48, 64 and 120

Factorize the numbers, as follows:

$\mathbf{48 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}$

$\mathbf{64 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}$

$\mathbf{120 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5}$

So, the GCF is:

$\mathbf{GCF= 2 \times 2 \times 2}$

$\mathbf{GCF= 8}$

Hence, the number of tray is 8

(b) The number of each type of cookie

We have

$\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip=48}$

$\mathbf{Rainbow=64}$

$\mathbf{Oatmeal=120}$

Divide each cookie by the number of trays

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip = \frac{48}{8} = 6}$

$\mathbf{Rainbow = \frac{64}{8} = 8}$

$\mathbf{Oatmeal = \frac{150}{8} = 15}$

Hence, 6 chocolate chips, 8 rainbows and 15 oatmeal cookies would fit each tray
