Marina volunteers at the salvation army. she has been tasked with buying non-perishable items for families that were displaced b

y a recent flood. she finds a company willing to sell her cans of food at a discounted price. in the system below x represents the number of small cans she purchased and y represents the number of large cans she purchased.
2.25x+4.75y=714.75
x+y=181

Answer:

See below for each answer

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to do here is solve the equation system:

2.25x+4.75y=714.75  [equaiton 1]

x+y=181 [equaiton 2]

For this, lets take equation 2 and try to get the value of x as a function of y. We do so by subtracting x in both sides:

x+y - y=181 - y

x = 181 -y [eqaution 1*]

Now, we can replace this value of x in equation 1, so we get an equation with only one unknown variable y:

2.25x+4.75y=714.75

2.25(181-y) + 4.75y = 407.25 - 2.25y + 4.75y = 407.25 + 2.5y = 714.75

Now, subtract 407.25 in both sides:

407.25 + 2.5y - 407.25 = 714.75 - 407.25

2.5 y = 307.5

Dividing both sides by 2.5:

2.5y/2.5 = 307.5/2.5

y = 123

Now, we can find x replacing y=123 in equation 1*:

x = 181 - 123 = 58

x = 58

So, we can answer questions A, B ans C:

A) to know how many she purchased we have to sum small cans (58) and large cans (y), which is given by equation 1: 181 cans.

B) Then equation 2 shows the total expenditure in cans, summing each can number by its respective price. The total expenditure is 714.75

C) The number of small cans is given by x: 58

D) The number of large cans is given by y: 123

E) The cost of small cans is given by the price, the number that multiplies the x in the expenditure equation (Equation 1): 2.25 costs a small can.

F) The cost of large cans is given by its price, the number that multiplies the y in the expenditure equation (Equation 2): 4.75 is the cost of large cans.

Answer:

x =  - 6 3/10

We need to show at least two of these in workings including one in simplified format.

x = - 63/10   (minus in front of whole fraction)  

mixed number form  x = -6 3/10   (is simplified answer)

decimal form  x  =  -6.3  (is simplified answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just in case you ever need to write these in ans search answers already answered in same format.

You can;

Go to upper right corner and click the three dots : another menu opens.

Click the summation sign (4th from left) : you are now in math mode until you deselect it (which sometimes happens automatically). Type a^{2} and it will look like a2 .

Note : the brackets { and } aren’t necessary when your exponent is a natural number between 0 and 9, both included.

However, when you want to type e.g. a15 , you need to place them, because otherwise you will get a15 .

it will look in same way as we are taught with a pen, its the stupid copy paste thing hit and miss if it works on messages here, Obviously it didnt work when i copied just now.

Adding a Range of Cells Using the Summation Button

The Summation button will copy a formula that calculates the sum of the selected numeric cells to the clipboard.

For alphanumeric cells, clicking the Summation button will concatenate the text of the selected cells.

Select the cells by dragging the mouse over the selected area or dragging while holding Alt.

On the Document tab, click Summation.

Position the insertion point in the total cell.

On the Home tab, click Paste.

The Equation bar displays the addition of all cells in the selection.

Note: Only Numeric cells can be summed. Alphanumeric cells will have their text concatenated.
