Answer:
1. 96
2. 304
3. 120
Step-by-step explanation:
I did my best
x represents the number of lawns weeded by Gwen and y represents the number of dogs walked by Fabio.
Gwen charges $12 each time she weeds a yard and Fabio charges $9 each time he walks a dog.
So, for x number of weeds, Gwen earned 12x and for y number of dogs walked, Fabio earned 9y.
They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station.
Therefore,
12x + 9y ≥ 510
Also, the number of dog walks that Fabio has scheduled should not be more than twice the number of yards Gwen has scheduled to weed.
Therefore,
y ≤ 2x
Also, Fabio will walk at least 25 dogs.
Therefore,
y ≥ 25
Hence, the constraints are:
12x + 9y ≥ 510
y ≤ 2x
y ≥ 25
We will call:
M=Mari
J=Jen
Initial equations:
M=2J
M+J=480
(the fact that they work 20 hours a week is not needed in this problem information)
Plug in:
2J+J=480
3J=480
J=160
Jen makes $160 a week.
Therefore:
M=2J
M=2(160)
M=320
Mari makes $320 per week
Jen makes $160 per week
Well, you have to simplify the bottom part to be able to answer it as a whole number. Hope this helps.
so, the 2.5oz cake will be "x" calories, pheeew, she'll be taking in 900 - x less calories.
