So for this we will be using a system of equations, with one equation representing Shakira's sales and the other representing Jeff's sales. Our equations are such (Let x = oranges and y = grapefruit)

5x+8y=235\\ 3x+2y=85

For this, I will be using the elimination method. So firstly, multiply both sides of the second equation by -4: -12x-8y=-340

Next, add 5x+8y=235 and -12x-8y=-340 to get -7x = -105 . From here we can solve for x.

For this, just divide both sides by -7, and your answer is going to be x = 15.

Now that we know what x is, just substitute x for 15 in either equation to solve for y. For this I will be using the second equation.

3(15)+2y=85\\ 45+2y=85\\ 2y=40\\ y=20

Since we know that oranges cost $15 and grapefruit cost $20, just add them together to get your answer, which is $35.

A rectangular restaurant kitchen has a perimeter of 36 meters and an area of 80 square meters. what are the dimensions of the ki
konstantin123 [22]
Let L and W be the length and width of the given rectangle, respectively. Perimeter is calculated through the equation,

    P = 2L + 2W

Substituting the perimeter,
   36 = 2L + 2W
Simplifying,
    18 = L + W

The area is calculated by multiplying the length and width as below,
    A = 80 = LW
  
Substituting the expressions,
   80 = (L)(18 - L)
The value of L from the equation is 8. With this, the value of W is equal to 10.

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are 8 m by 10 m.
