Answer:
315 people bought tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
270 divided by 6 = 45
45 x 7 = 315
3x+y = 4
x+y= 2 multiply all the elements of (x+y) by -1 & then add it up to the 1st equation
3x+y=4
-x-y =-2
----------
2x+0y =2 ==> x=2/2 =1 & replace x=1 by its value in any of the equation & you will get the value of y=1
2) 3x+y = 7
x+2y = 4
Follow the same methodology as before, but to eliminate y, multiply the 1st equation by (-2) and you will get x=2 & y=1
To answer the question, let x be the number of pounds of coffee worth $9. Having said that, the number of pounds of coffee worth $3 is 120 - x. The equation relating the items before and after mixing is,
(x)($9) + (120 - x)($3) = (120)($5)
The value of x is 40. Therefore, the amount of coffee worth $9 and $3 to be used are 40 and 80 pounds, respectively.
832/60 = 13.8666.....
The bakery will need to produce <u>14 cakes.</u>
This is because, assuming they can only produce whole cakes, they will need to produce 14 to ensure that everyone is fed.
