On Monday, the store collected $165 selling 5 purple shirts and 7 yellow shirts.

On Tuesday, the store collected $213 selling 4 purple shirts and 11 yellow shirts.

Answer:

Each purple shirt costs $12

Each yellow shirt costs $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

x: purple shirt price (in dollars per shirt)

y: yellow shirt price (in dollars per shirt)

On Monday, the store collected $165 selling 5 purple shirts and 7 yellow shirts.  That is:

5*x + 7*y = 165   (eq. 1)

On Tuesday, the store collected $213 selling 4 purple shirts and 11 yellow shirts. That is:

4*x+11*y = 213    (eq. 2)

We can isolate y in equation 1, as follows:

7*y = 165 - 5*x

y = 165/7 - 5/7*x

and replace it in equation 2:

4*x+11*(165/7 - 5/7*x) = 213

4*x+ 1815/7 - 55/7*x = 213

-27/7*x = 213 - 1815/7

-27/7*x = -324/7

x = -324/-27 = 12

Then:

y = 165/7 - 5/7*12 = 15

If we graph the system of equations made by equations 1 and 2, we get the figure attached. The intersection of the two lines is the solution of the system.

Answer:

The Cost of  yellow shirts is $15 and the cost of purple shirt is $ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of one yellow shirt be x

and the cost of one purple shirt be y

On Monday

5x + 7y = 165--------------------(1)

On Tuesday

4x + 11y = 213----------------------(2)

To solve (1) and (2)

multiplying eq(1) with 4

20x + 28y = 660--------------------(3)

multiplying eq(2) with 5

20x + 55y = 1056-------------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4)

20x + 55y = 1056

20x + 28y = 660

(-)

-----------------------------------

0x  +27y = 405

-----------------------------------

y = \frac{405}{27}

y = 15

Substituting y value in eq(1)

5x + 7(15) = 165

5x + 105 =405

5x =405 -105

5x =300

x = \frac{300}{5}

x =60

How do you Calculate the mean,median and mode in grouped data.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The mean:

data: 3,6,9,10

You first add all of the numbers together.

3+6+9+10= 28

There 4 numbers in the data set, so you divide 4 by the sum of all of the numbers.

28/4= 7

So the mean is 7.

The median:

data: 3,6,9,10

first put all of the numbers in numerical order.

3,6,9,10

Then you find the middle number in the data set.

3,6,(the middle number here),9,10

to find the middle number, do the mean of 6 and 9

The mean of 6 and 9 is 7.5

So, 7.5 is the median

another example: 3,4,7,9,13

The middle number is 7

so 7 is the median

The mode:

data: 3,6,9,10

The mode is the number that is repeated the most

in this data, there is no mode.

but in this data: 4,4,6,9,11

4 is the mode because it was repeated the most
