Not possible to calculate with the information
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(each)
Required
The number of Kansas senators presently in the US senate
First, it should be noted that the given information applies to 2008 presidential election
Next, the given information states the number of electors each of the given locations had in the electoral college.
There was no information about the number of senators in the senate (presently or 2008).
<em>Hence, additional information is required to answer the question.</em>
the cost of labour per hour is $7.20
the cost of raw materials per pound is $11.60
Explanation:For product one:
time = 5 hours of labour
let the cost labour per hour = x
Amount = 3 pounds of raw amterials
let the cost of one pound raw material = y
Cost to produce each product = $70.8
The equation:
time (cost per hour) + amount (cost of one pound of raw material) = Cost to produce each product
5(x) + 3(y) = 70.80
For product 2:
time = 3.5 hours of labour
let the cost of labour per hour = x
Amount = 13 pounds of raw amterials
let the cost of one pound raw material = y
Cost to produce each product = $176.00
The equation:
time (cost per hour) + amount (cost of one pound of raw material) = Cost to produce each product
3.5(x) + 13(y) = 176
combining both equations:
5x + 3y = 70.8 ...(1)
3.5x + 13y = 176 ....(2)
Using elimination method:
To eliminate y, we will multiply equation (1) by 13 and equation (2) by 3 so that both coefficient of y become the same
65x + 39y = 920.4 ...(*1)
10.5x + 39y = 528 ...(2*)
subtract equation (2*) from (1*):
65x - 10.5x + 39y - 39y = 920.4 - 528
54.5x + 0 = 392.4
54.5x = 392.4
divide both sides by 54.5:
x = 392.4/54.5
x = 7.2
substitute for x in any of the equations
Using equation 1: 5x + 3y = 70.8
Hence, the cost of labour per hour is $7.20 and the cost of raw materials per pound is $11.60
