Let p be the prize of a pen and m the prize of a mechanical pencils. If you buy six pens and one mechanical pencil, you spend 6p+m. We know that this equals 9, because you get 1$ change from a 10$ bill.
Similarly, if you buy four pens and two mechanical pencils, you spend 4p+2m, which is 8$, because now you get a $2 change. Put these equation together in a system:
Now, if you multiply the first equation by 2, the system becomes
Subtract the second equation from the first:
Plug this value into the first equation to get
Answer:
6.9 foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Length of lamp post= 12-foot.
The angle of elevation of the sun is 60°.
∴ The length of Lamp post, which is opposite is 12-foot.
Now, finding the length of shadow cast by foot lamp.
Length of shadow is adjacent.
∴ We know the formula for =
Next, putting the value in the formula.
⇒
Cross multiplying both side and using the value of Tan 60°
∴ Adjacent= ≅ 6.9 (nearest tenth value)
6.9 is the length of shadow cast by a 12-foot lamp post.
