Let a = weight of large box in pounds
Let b = weight of small box in pounds
(1) 65a + 70b=4000
(2) a+b=60
Now we can simultaneously solve these equations.
a = 60 - b. Hence 65(60 - b) + 70b = 4000 So 3900 + 5b = 4000 and 100 = 5b hence b = 20.
SImilarly a = 40. Now we can verify too by putting in the calculated values.
Answer:
The second and the last options.
Step-by-step explanation:
15/ 2/9 =67.5 Solve the original problem
15*2/9 =3.33333333333
15*9/2 =67.5
(15* 1/9) /2=0.833333333333333
15*9* 1/2 =67.5
Answer: 16 double rooms and 10 single rooms were rented.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of double rooms that were rented.
Let y represent the number of single rooms that were rented.
The total number of rooms rented in a day is 26. It means that
x + y = 26
A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $26 per day. If all the rooms that were rented for one day cost a total of $804, it means that
34x + 26y = 804 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes
34(26 - y) + 26y = 804
884 - 34y + 26y = 804
- 34y + 26y = 804 - 884
- 8y = - 80
y = - 80/ - 8 = 10
x = 26 - y = 26 - 10
x = 16
Answer:
maybe y - -3x = -11?
