Answer:
3c=273
c=91
2c= 212
C= 106
c= 91+ 106= 197
so they will need 197 canoes total
Why:
So first you have to determine a set variable to represent the number of canoes, I chose C. Then you make an equation to represent the number of canoes 273 people will use if they group into 3's, from this I got 3c=273. Solve for C and get 91.
The remainder of the group which is 485-273= 212 will use canoes in groups of 2's. To represent this, 2c=212. Solve for C and get 106. Combine 106 and 91 to get the total number of canoes.
Answer:
35.7
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you would calculate how many gallons of gasoline the car gets. To do this, divide your total mileage of 500 miles by the mpg (30). Now you know how many gallons of gasoline will be used by the car. After calculating, you get 16.67. Multiply this by how much it costs per gallon of gasoline, and you get an answer of $35.7.
---------------------
given:
= cost of Brazilian coffee in mixture
= cost of Venezuelan coffee in mixture
= cost of mixture
---------------------
Now I can rite these equations:
(1)
(2)
Multiply both sides of (2) by and
subtract from (1)
(1)
(2)
and, since
288 kg of Brazilian coffee and 96 kg of Venezuelan coffee are needed
