Answer:

The total number of polo shirts is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of white polo shirts

y -----> the number of blue polo shirts

we know that

x=y+18 -----> equation A

68\%=68/100=0.68

x=0.68(x+y) ------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y

y+18=0.68(y+18+y)\\ y+18=0.68(2y+18)\\ y+18=1.36y+12.24\\ 1.36y-y=18-12.24\\ 0.36y=5.76\\ y=5.76/0.36\\ y=16\ blue\ polo\ shirts

<u><em>Find the value of x</em></u>

x=16+18=34\ white\ polo\ shirts

<u><em>Find the total number of polo shirts</em></u>

x+y=34+16=50\ polo\ shirts

21. Angela until the same restaurant four times. Each time she ordered a salad and left at $ 5 tip. She spent a total of $ 54. W
Natalka [10]

So if Angela entered the same restaurant 4 times, we have 4 "instances" of her entering the restaurant.

Each instance, she ordered a salad. The price of this salad is unknown, so we'll say the price is "S".

Each instance, she payed a $5 tip.

So we have 4 instances of spending S, and 4 instances of spending 5.

We know this totals 54.

Knowing all of this information, we can write our equation like this:

4(S + 5) = 54

Divide

S + 5 = 13.50

Subtract

S = 8.50

The cost of salad is $8.50
