6 cases ordered
'p' jars in each case
Total number of jars is (6 cases) x (p jars/case) = 6p jars
Split 7 ways, each restaurant gets (1/7) of the total order = 6p/7 jars.
I sure hope 'p' is a multiple of 7, or else Harrison might
need to deal with the number of pickles in each jar.
Answer:
this means there is no answer to the problem
Step-by-step explanation:
12p+7>139 Start
12p>132 Subtract 7
p>11 Divide 12
In terms of j: 55j+20 = k
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure below:
1. Let's call:
x: hot dogs.
y: hamburguers.
2. Then, you must make a system of equations, as below:
5x+4y=12.25 (i)
4x+5y=12.50 (ii)
3. Now, you can solve the system of equation as below:
5x+4y=12.25
x=(12.25-4y)/5
4x+5y=12.50
4((12.25-4y)/5)+5y=12.50
y=1.5
4x+5y=12.50
4x+5(1.5)=12.50
x=1.25
4. Therefore, the answer is:
The cost of one hot dog is $1.25 and the cost of one hamburguer is $1.50
