Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)
[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
Answer:
x = 8
y = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Total small box weight = 50x [x being the number of small boxes]
Total large box weight = 80y [y being the number of large boxes]
Total boxes = x+y = 19
Total weight = 1280
<em>Determine x and y.</em>
<u>You know 2 equations. One for weight and another for number of boxes each.</u>
<u>Rewrite second equation:</u>
x+y=19
y=19-x
<u>You have to plug in one into another.</u>
1280 = 50x + 80(19-x)
<u>Solve for x</u>
1280 = 50x + 1520 - 80x
-240 = -30x
x = 8
<u>Solve for y by plugging in x into one of the equations:</u>
8+y = 19
y = 11
10 × $150 = $1500
88 × $85.50 = $7524
1500 + 7524 = $9024 a day.
9024 × 6 = $54,144 (the answer)
Hope this helps!
For a), wouldn't you multiply the cost of a twin by the quantity of a twin beige (N) and the cost of a queen by the quantity of the queen beige (N) and then the cost of the king by the quantity of the king beige (N) for CN and do the same thing but with the south quantities?
And then for b), it's just comparing which one had the most money and find the difference...
And then C), would be relatively self explanatory where CN would be the potential profit in N and CS would be the potential profit in S and then CN+CS would be the potential profit total?
