Question

For party decorations, you buy 6 rolls of crepe paper and 20 balloons for $11.90. After you start decorating, you determine that you need more party decorations. You buy 2 more rolls of crepe paper and 15 more balloons for $6.05. How much did each roll of crepe paper cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

Find out the  how much did each roll of crepe paper cost .

To prove

Let us assume that the cost of the  roll of crepe paper be x.

Let us assume that the cost of the balloon be y .

As given

For party decorations, you buy 6 rolls of crepe paper and 20 balloons for $11.90.

Than the equation becomes

6x + 20y = 11.90

As given

After you start decorating, you determine that you need more party decorations.

You buy 2 more rolls of crepe paper and 15 more balloons for $6.05.

Than the equation becomes

2x + 15y = 6.05

Than two equations are

6x + 20y = 11.90 and 2x + 15y = 6.05

Multiply 2x + 15y = 6.05 by 3 and subracted with 6x + 20y = 11.90

6x - 6x + 45y -20y = 18.15 - 11.90

25y = 6.25

$y = \frac{6.25}{25}$

y = $0.25

Put in the equation 2x + 15y = 6.05

2x + 15 × 0.25 = 6.05

2x = 6.05 - 3.75

2x = 2.3

$x = \frac{2.3}{2}$

x = $1.15

Therefore the each roll of crepe paper cost is  $1.15 .
