Answer:

(a)  1.32x+1.77y=140.40...(1)

x+y=90...(2)

(b) Mr. Kelly's class earned more money.

(c) $29.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of fruit pies and y be the number of bottles of fruit juice.

We have been given that Mr. Sanchez’s class sold fruit pies for $1.32 each. So the earnings from selling x fruit pies will be 1.32x.

Mr. Kelly’s class sold bottles of fruit juice for $1.77 each. So the earnings from selling y bottles of fruit juice will be 1.77y.

As total earnings are $140.40 for their school. So we can represent this situation in an equation as:

1.32x+1.77y=140.40...(1)

As the classes sold 90 items, so we can represent this situation in an equation as:

x+y=90...(2)

Therefore, our required system of equation will be:

1.32x+1.77y=140.40...(1)

x+y=90...(2)

(b) Let us find the number of fruit pies and juice bottles by using substitution method of solve system of equations.

From equation (2) we will get,

x=90-y

Substituting this value in equation (1) we will get,

1.32(90-y)+1.77y=140.40

Upon using distributive property a(b+c)=a*b+a*c we will get,

118.8-1.32y+1.77y=140.40

118.8+0.45y=140.40

118.8-118.8+0.45y=140.40-118.8

0.45y=21.6

\frac{0.45y}{0.45}=\frac{21.6}{0.45}

y=48

As Mr. Kelly's class sold 48 bottles of fruit juice, so earnings from selling 48 bottles of juice will be:

\text{Earnings from selling 48 bottles of fruit juice}}=48\times 1.77

\text{Earnings from selling 48 bottles of fruit juice}}=84.96

Therefore, earnings of Mr. Kelly's class from selling 48 bottles of juice will be $84.96.

Let us find the number of fruit pies by substituting y=48 in equation (2).

x+48=90

x+48-48=90-48

x=42

As Mr. Sanchez’s class sold 42 fruit pies, so earnings from selling 42 fruit pies be:

\text{Earnings from selling 42 fruit pies}}=42\times 1.32

\text{Earnings from selling 42 fruit pies}}=55.44

Therefore, earnings of Mr. Sanchez's class from selling 42 fruit pies will be $55.44.

As $84.96 is greater than $55.44, therefore, Mr. Kelly's class earned more money.

(c) To find the amount of more money earned by Mr. Kelly's class let us subtract earnings of Mr. Sanchez's class from earnings of Mr. Kelly's class.

\text{The amount of more money earned by Mr. Kelly's class}=\$84.96-\$55.44

\text{The amount of more money earned by Mr. Kelly's class}=\$29.52

Therefore Mr. Kelly, class earned $29.52 more than Mr. Sanchez's class.

¿Cual es el número cuya tercera parte más 12 da 26?<br>OK​
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3+12 = 26

Multiply everything by 3 to eliminate the fraction

x+36=78

subtract 36 on both sides

x=42

   

42/3=14

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The  mass of  amino acid present is  85 g

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  volume of the total  parenteral nutrition is  V  =  2000 mL

   

Generally the volume of the amino acid present is  

                V_a =  0.0425 *  2000

                V_a =  85 mL

Generally
