David bought 3 dvds and 4 books for $40 at a yard sale. Anna bought 1 dvd and 6 books for $18. How much did each dvd and book co

Ber [7]

Answer:

A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations (2 unknowns and two equations, d is for a DVD and b is for a book):

For David: 3d+4b=40

For Anna: d+6b=18

Now multiply the second equation with -3 and add to the first equation:

3d+4b=40

−3d−18b=−54

Combined equation: −14b=−14 and b=1 (means that each book is worth $1).

Now for DVD price, use the second equation:

d=18−6 or d=12 (means that each DVD is worth $12).

A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.

inessss [21]

Answer:

$\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer has a basket of peaches. He gives ⅓ of the peaches to one person, ¼ to another, ⅕ to another, ⅛ to another, and then gives 7 peaches to a 5th person.

Remaining peaches = 4

We need to find the original number of peaches in the basket.

The farmer gives the total number of peaches = $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7$

Let x be the former gives the total number of peaches

We multiply and divide by 120 in right side of the above equation because of 120 is divided by all given denominator and then simplify.

$x = \frac{120}{120}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(\frac{120}{3}+\frac{120}{4}+\frac{120}{5}+\frac{120}{8}+7\times 120)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(40+30+24+15+840)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(949)$

$x = \frac{949}{120}$

We add the remaining peaches by given peaches for the original number of peaches in the basket.

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949}{120}+4$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+4\times 120}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+480}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{1429}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $11\frac{109}{120}$

Therefore the original number of peaches in the basket is $\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$
