For the answer to the question above asking, w<span>hat was the price per can and the numbers of cans purchased each time?
let x be the number of cans he bought
the let us go to the 2nd statement which is t</span><span>he next time Ian purchased frozen orange juice, the price had increased by $0.10 per can and he bought 1 less can for the same total price.
The equation for this is .10(x-1) = 24
So now let's solve,
</span> .10(x-1) = 24
.10x - .10 = 24
.10x = 24+ .10
.10x = 24.10
Then divide both sides by .10
So the answer for this question is
241 cans of juice
The price of a baseball is $3.75. This problem can be solved using an elimination between two equation with two variables in it which are, 5x + 3y = 23.75 and 2x + 7y = 31.25. First, multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 5 which resulting in 10x + 6y = 47.5 and 10x + 35y= 156.25 and then eliminate the x variable resulting in 29y = 108.75. The baseball price can be acquired from this equation (y = 3.75) because y variable represents the baseball price.
