Answer: the cost of a tent is $45

the cost of a sleeping bag is $35

the cost of a camp stool is $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a tent.

Let y represent the cost of a sleeping bag.

Let z represent the cost of a camp stool.

A customer buys a​ tent, 3 sleeping​ bags, and 4 camp stools for ​$170. It means that

x + 3y + 4z = 170- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The price of the tent is 9 times the cost of a camp stool. It means that

x = 9z

The cost of a sleeping bag is ​$30 more than the cost of a camp stool. It means that

y = z + 30

Substituting x = 9z and y = z + 30 into equation 1, it becomes

9z + 3(z + 30) + 4z = 170

9z + 3z + 90 + 4z = 170

9z + 3z + 4z = 170 - 90

16z = 80

z = 80/16

z = 5

y = z + 30 = 5 + 30

y = 35

x = 9z = 9 × 5

x = 45

Answer:

Cost of camp stool is $5 , cost of tent is $45 and cost of sleeping bag is $35

Step-by-step explanation:

Customer buys 1 tent,3 sleeping bags and 4 camp stools.

Let the cost of the camp stool = \[x\]

Then the price of the tent = \[9*x\]

Cost of the sleeping bag = \[x+30\]

The total cost of the items purchased by him is $170

\[=> 9x + 4x + 3(x+30) = 170\]

\[=> 9x + 4x + 3x+90 = 170\]

\[=> 16x = 80\]

\[=> x = 5\]

So cost of camp stool is $5 , cost of tent is $45 and cost of sleeping bag is $35.

A type of green paint is made by mixing 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of blue.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: Use 1.75 cups of blue and 1 cup of yellow

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be placed in the category of ratios and proportions. There is a ratio of color mixing which contains the proportion of two colors i.e blue and yellow. When we use 2 cups of yellow with 3.5 cups of yellow then we get green color so if we mix half of their amounts then we can get less or simply half amount of color too. Hence adding 1 cup of yellow and 1.75 cup of blue will give us small amount in result.
