Answer: old McDonald has 54 chickens and 2 cows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of chickens that old McDonald have.

Let y represent the number of cows that old McDonald have.

He counted 56 heads. A chicken and a cow has one head each. It means that

x + y = 56

He counted 116 legs. A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs. It means that

2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(56 - y) + 4y = 116

112 - 2y + 4y = 116

- 2y + 4y = 116 - 112

2y = 4

y = 4/2 = 2

x = 56 - y = 56 - 2

x = 54

A student makes and sells designer T-shirts to earn extra cash. The material needed to make each T-shirt costs $4.25. Currently,
natita [175]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of designer T shirts.

To break even,

Total Cost = Total Sales

Fixed Cost + Variable Cost = Total Sales

given the promotional advertising is classified under fixed cost,

500 + 4.25x = 15x  \\ 15x = 500 + 4.25x \\ 15x - 4.25x = 500 \\ 10.75x = 500 \\ x = 500 \div 10.75 \\  = 46.5 \\  = 47 \: (round \: off \: to \: nearest \: whole \: number)
