Answer:

  • cookie: $1.25
  • cupcake: $2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a cookie and a cupcake, respectively.

  4x +3y = 13.25

  5x +2y = 11.75 . . . . . . the system of equations

___

By Cramer's rule:

  x = (3(11.75) -2(13.25))/(3(5) -2(4)) = 8.75/7 = 1.25

  y = (13.25(5) -11.75(4))/7 = 19.25/7 = 2.75

The cost of one cookie is $1.25; the cost of one cupcake is $2.75.

_____

Cramer's rule gives the solution to the system of equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

as ...

  ∆ = bd -ea

  x = (bf -ec)/∆

  y = (cd -fa)/∆

A chemist wants to mix a 10% acid solution with a 26% acid solution to obtain 16 liters of a 14% acid solution. How much of the
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The 26% solution should she use is explained below in detailed explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumed there be 10 percent of x liters of acid solution

Assumed there be 26 percent of y liters of acid solution

provided Information

A chemist needed to combine a 10 percent acid solution with a 26 percent acid solution to obtain 16 liters of a 14 percent acid solution

So, ( 10 / 100 )*x + ( 26 / 100 )*y = ( 14 / 100 )*16

=> 0.1*x + 0.26*y = 0.14*16

=> 0.1*x + 0.26*y = 2.24 ....................... eq 1

x + y = 16 ......................... eq 2

Multiply ( 0.1 ) in both side in eq 2

=> 0.1*x + 0.1*y = 0.1*16

=> 0.1*x + 0.1*y = 1.6 ......................... eq 3

Subtract eq 3 from eq 1

0.1*x - 0.1*x + 0.26*y - 0.1*y = 2.24 - 1.6

=> 0.16*y = 0.64

=> x = 0.64 / 0.16

=> y = 4

So, 4 liters of 26% solution she should utilized
