Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Bought n items of product A at 1/5 rs each
- bought n items of product B at 1/4 rs each
He mixed the two items and sold each at 2/9 rs each.
He lost 3 rs in the above batch of articles.
Solution:
revenue = 2n* (2/9) rs = 4n/9 rs
cost = n/5+n/4 rs = n(1/5+1/4)
Profit = revenue-cost = 4n/9-n(1/5+1/4) = -3 rs
Solve for n
4n/9-n(1/5+1/4) = -3
factor out n
n(4/9-1/5-1/4)=-3
n(80-36-45)/180=-3
-n/180=-3
n=3*180=540
Total number of products bought
= n+n = 540+540 = 1080
Answer:
w > 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality by using inverse operations.
-4w - 2 < -38
-4w < -36
w > 9
Like solving equations, inequalities should be solved using inverse operations. However, unlike equations, when you divide or multiply by a negative the sign changes.
Let q and n represent the number of quarters and nickels respectively.
q=3n and .05n+.25q=1.6 These are the conditions in mathematical terms.
To solve, use the value of q from the first equation in the second equation to get:
.05n+.25(3n)=1.6 carry out indicated multiplication on left side
.05n+.75n=1.6 combine like terms on left side
.8n=1.6 divide both sides by .8
n=2, since q=3n
q=6
So Peggy had 2 nickels and 6 quarters.
