The ratio of the number of volleyball to the number of basketballs in the P.E room is 4:7 .there are 21 basketballs . How many v

densk [106]

Let volleyball be v and let basketball be b.

v : b = 4 : 7, b = 21

v : 21 = 4 : 7

v/21 = 4/7

7*v = 4*21

v = 4*21/7

v = 4*3

v = 12

Volleyballs are 12

Hope this helps.

The cash drawer of the market contains $227. There are six more $5 bills than $10 bills. The number of $1 bills is two more than

k0ka [10]

Answer:

There are 122 one dollar bills, 11 five dollar bills and 5 ten dollar bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are bills of one dollar, five dollars and ten dollars on the cash drawer, therefore the sum of all of them multiplied by their respective values must be equal to the total amount of money on the drawer. We will call the number of one dollar bills, five dollar bills and ten dollar bills, respectively "x","y" and "z", therefore we can create the following expression:

$x + 5*y + 10*z = 227$

We know that there are six more 5 dollar bills than 10 dollar bills and that the number of 1 dollar bills is two more than 24 times the number of 10 dollar bills, therefore:

$y = z + 6\\x = 2 + 24*z$

Applying these values on the first equation, we have:

$2 + 24*z + 5*(z + 6) + 10*z = 227\\2 + 24*z + 5*z + 30 + 10*z = 227\\39*z + 32 = 227\\39*z = 227 - 32\\39*z = 195\\z = \frac{195}{39}\\z = 5$

Applying z to the formulas of y and x, we have:

$y = 5 + 6 = 11\\x = 2 + 24*5 = 122$

There are 122 one dollar bills, 11 five dollar bills and 5 ten dollar bills.

Which ordered pair in the form (a, b) is a solution of this equation?

Evgen [1.6K]

3a - 4b = 21

check (-2 , -3)

3(-2) -4(-3) =21

-6 +12 = 21

6 does not = 21 so NO

check (0 , 7)

3(0) -4(7) =21

0-28=21

-28 does not equal 21 so NO

check (-3 , -2)

3(-3) -4(-2) =21

-9 +8 = 21

1 does not = 21 so NO

check (7 , 0)

3(7) -4(0) =21

21 = 21
