Because it does not specify the order and in division, the order matters.

Lelechka [254]
The annual snowfall for city B is 7.7 inches. 
Since it is 12.5 inches more: 58.7 - 12.5 = 46.2
Since 46.2 is 6 times that of city B: 46.2 / 6 = 7.7

Please provide a detailed, step-by-step explanation on how to solve this problem.
iren [92.7K]
There's a relatively easy way to solve problems of this nature. You determine the contribution made if the only contributor is the one that contributes the least.

A chicken has the least number of feet, so 24 chickens will contribute 48 feet.

Now, you consider the change in contribution made by substituting a larger contributor. Each pig that replaces a chicken will add 2 feet to the total.

Consider how many feet need to be added, and thus how many larger contributors are needed. 80 -48 = 32 feet need to be added, so 32/2 = 16 of the animals need to be pigs.

There are 16 pigs and 8 chickens.

The total of two numbers is 28. Four times the smaller number is 7 more than three times the larger number.

Let's define:
x \ \textless \ y

So, you can set up a system of equations:
x + y = 28
4x = 7 + 3y

Now, to solve for both of those values, solve the system of equations:
x = 28 - y
4(28-y) = 7+3y
122-4y=7+3y
115 -4y = 3y
115 = 7y
y = 16.43

Now, plug that y-value into the first equation to solve for x:
x + 16.43=28
x = 11.57

Now, we have both the values. The smaller value (x) = 11.57 and the bigger value (y) = 16.43.
