Answer:
No. pp you can fit in a van: 6,
No. pp you can fit in a bus: 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let v = # of pp in vans, and let b = # of pp in buses:
8v + 9b = 228,
4v + 5b = 124
If we solve this system of equations by substitution, we isolate the first eq. for v and then substitute into the bottom eq:
v = 228-9b/8,
Substitute v = 228-9b/8 into bottom eq:
[4 * 228-9b/8 + 5b = 125]
[228+b/2=124]
[228+b = 248]
[b = 20]
Now substitute 20 to find no. of pp in the vans:
v = 228 - 9(20)/8 = 228 - 180/8 = 48/8 = 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one white chocolate pretzel.
Let y represent the cost of one dark chocolate pretzel.
Rico bought 4 white chocolate pretzels and 6 dark chocolate pretzels for $10.50. This means that
4x + 6y = 10.5 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Holden bought 8 white chocolate and 3 dark chocolate pretzels for $9.75. This means that
8x + 3y = 9.75 - - - - - - - - - 2
Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes
32x + 48y = 84
32x + 12y = 39
Subtracting, it becomes
36y = 45
y = 45/36 = $1.25
Substituting y = 1.25 into equation 1, it becomes
4x + 6 × 1.25 = 10.5
4x + 7.5 = 10.5
4x = 10.5 - 7.5 = 3
x = 3/4 = $0.75
the total cost for 6 white chocolate pretzels and one dark chocolate pretzel would be
6 × 0.75 + 1 × 1.25 = 4.5 + 1.25 = $5.75
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h represent the number of hamburgers sold. Then h-61 is the number of cheeseburgers sold. The combined total is ...
h +(h -61) = 389
2h = 450 . . . . . . add 61
h = 225 . . . . . . . divide by 2
There were 225 hamburgers sold on Thursday.
