So we know there are 12 eggs and they will be distributed like this:
12=x2+y1
and 4 cups of flour:
4=1/3x+1/2y
let's see if we can find a solution in which all the materials are used:
12=x2+y1
4=1/3x+1/2y//*6
12=2x+y
24=2x+3y//*6
substract from each other:
12=2y
y=2
12=2x+y
12=2x+2
10=2x
x=5
So if nothing is wasted, he can make 5 blueberry muffins (making 12*5=60) and 2 bran muffins (2*9=18), together 78 dollars,
would it be better if instead of the bran muffins he did blueberry muffins (which are more expensive?)
for the branberry muffins he will used the double amount needed for 1: so 1 cup of oil and 2 eggs. From this he can only make 1 tray of blueberry muffins (and some oil will be left over), which will cost 12 dollars, which is less than 18
so he better make 6 blueberry and 2 bran trays
Answer: 2 can go into 120 60 times.
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
1.) Amount of potting soil purchased last week.
2) 2p + 4 = 28
3.) 12 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) The unknown information is what we intend to find out using the information given, which is the amount of potting soil Emmanuel bought last week.
2.)
Let amount of potting soil bought last week = p
Amount bought this week = 2p + 4
Since amount bought this week = 28
Hence, we have ;
28 = 2p + 4
28 - 4 = 2p
24 = 2p
p = 24 / 2
p = 12
