Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total flowers sold = 200

Flowers are :

Carnations, Roses, and Gerber daisies

Carnations = c

Roses = r

Daisies = d

20 fewer roses than daisies ; r = d - 20

Total sales = $453

c = $1.50 each ; r = 3.75 each ; d = 2.25 each

c + d + d - 20 = 200

c + 2d = 220 - - (1)

1.50c + (d - 20)(3.75) + 2.25d = 453

1.50c + 3.75d - 75 + 2.25d = 453

1.50c + 6d = 528 - - - (2)

From (1)

c = 220 - 2d

1.5(220 - 2d) + 6d = 528

330 - 3d + 6d = 528

330 + 3d = 528

3d = 528 - 330

d = 198/3

d = 66

66 × 2.25 = $148.5

c = 220 - 2(66)

c = 88

88 * 1.50 = $132

r = d - 20

r = 66 - 20

r = 46

46 × $3.75 = $172.5

A chef is going to use a mixture of two brands of Italian dressing. The first brand contains 9% vinegar, and the second brand co

kobusy [5.1K]

So, the first brand has 9% vinegar, and say we use "x" amount of it, then, the amount of vinegar in "x" is 9% of x, or (9/100) * x, 0.09x.

the second brand has 14% of vinegar, and if we use say "y" amount of it, then the amount of vinegar in "y" is really just 14% of "y" or, (14/100) * y, 0.14y.

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{mL}{amount}&\stackrel{\%}{concentration}&\stackrel{amount}{concentration}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{first brand}&x&0.09&0.09x\\
\textit{second brand}&y&0.14&0.14y\\
------&------&------&------\\
mixture&230&0.13&29.9
\end{array}$

so, whatever "x" and "y" are, we know that x + y = 230.

and we also know that their concentration amounts will also add up, 0.09x + 0.14y = 29.9.

$\bf \begin{cases}
x+y=230\implies \boxed{y}=230-x\\
0.09x+0.14y=29.9\\
----------\\
0.09x+0.14\left(\boxed{230-x} \right)=29.9
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
0.09x+32.2-0.14x=29.9\implies -0.05x=-2.3\implies x=\cfrac{-2.3}{-0.05}
\\\\\\
x=46$

how many milliliters will it be for the second brand? well, y = 230 - x.

The cost for 5 adults and 3 children to attend a show is $210. ( /5)

liraira [26]

Answer: i. Cost of adult ticket = $ 30

ii. Cost of child ticket = $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Define variables:

Let x= cost of 1 adult tickets , y= cost of 1 child tickets.

Form linear equations:

5x+3y = 210 (i)

2x+5y= 160 (ii)

Multiply (i) by 2 and (ii) by 5

10x +6y = 420 (iii)

10x+25y = 800 (iv)

Eliminate (iii) from (iv)

19y = 380

⇒ y= 20

Put this in (i)

$5x+3(20)=210\Rightarrow\ 5x+60 = 210\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=150\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=30$

Hence, Cost of adult ticket = $ 30 and Cost of child ticket = $20
