Answer:

  • 7 people
  • 53 coins

  8x = y +3

  7x = y -4

  x = 7

Then ...

  y = 7x +4 = 7·7 +4 = 53

There are 7 people, and 53 coins are required for purchase.

Julie buys 2kg of apples and 7 kg of pears for £12.70. The pears cost £1.30 per kilogram. What is the price per kilogram of the
lianna [129]
Let's say a stands for apples and p for pears
We know that
p = 1.30
And

2a + 7p = 12.70
In order to know what the cost of an "a" is we have to put the value of the p in the second equation, which means

2a + 7 \times (1.30) = 12.70
2a = 12.70 - 9.10
2a = 3.60
And
a = 1.80
The price of per kilo for apples is 1.80
