30 pounds of raspberries and 50 pounds of blueberries are sold
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the pounds of raspberries sold
Let "b" be the pounds of blueberries sold
Cost per pound of raspberry = $ 1
Cost per pound of blue berry = $ 3.25
<em><u>Maya made $192.50 from selling a total of 80 pounds of raspberries and blueberries</u></em>
Therefore,
a + b = 80
a = 80 - b ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Maya made $192.50. Therefore, frame a equation as:</u></em>
pounds of raspberries sold x Cost per pound of raspberry + pounds of blueberries sold x Cost per pound of blue berry = 192.50
a + 3.25b = 192.50 ------ eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>
80 - b + 3.25b = 192.50
2.25b = 192.50 - 80
2.25b = 112.5
Divide both sides by 2.25
b = 50
<em><u>Substitute b = 50 in eqn 1</u></em>
a = 80 - 50
a = 30
Thus 30 pounds of raspberries and 50 pounds of blueberries are sold
A property of rectangles is that opposite sides are congruent. In this case, since QT and RS are opposite sides, they are equal to each other. With this knowledge, you can form the equation to solve for x.
Firstly, subtract both sides by 8:
Next, divide both sides by 4 and your answer will be , or the third option.
