Hannah is at the supermarket to buy carrots and potatoes. If she buys 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes, it will cost

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Carrots cost $ 1.75 a pound which is more than potatoes cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Carrots cost $ x per pound and potatoes cost $ y per pound.

Buying 2 pounds of carrots and 3 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(2\times x + 3\times y)$

and

Buying 4 pounds of carrots and 4 pounds of potatoes will cost her

$ $(4\times x + 4\times y)$

According to the question,

$(2\times x + 3\times y) = 8$ -----(1)

$(4\times x + 4\times y) = 13$ -----(2)

multiplying (1) by 2 we get,

$(4\times x + 6\times y) = 16$ -----(3)

Deducting (2) from (3) we get,

$2\times y = 3$

⇒ $y = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ ------------------(4)

Putting value of y in (1) we get,

$(2\times x = 8 - 3\times 1.5) = 3.5$

⇒ $x =\frac{3.5}{2} = 1.75$ ------------(5)

I made some brownies and cookies to sell for a local fundraiser. The cookies sold for $0.75 each and the brownies sold for $1.25

juin [17]

Answer:

Brownies made the most money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = cookies

b = brownies

We sold 51 items so c+b = 51

Cookies are .75 and brownies are 1.25

.75c + 1.25 b = 53.25

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

c = 51-b

Substituting into the second equation

.75(51-b) + 1.25b = 53.25

Distribute

38.25-.75b +1.25b = 53.25

Combine like terms

38.25+.5b = 53.25

Subtract 38.25 from each side

38.25 +.5b -38.25 = 53.25 -38.25

.5b =15

Divide each side by .5

.5b/.5 = 15/.5

b = 30

Now find c

c =51-b

c = 51-30

c = 21

They sold 30 brownies and 21 cookies

30 brownies * 1.25 =37.50

21 cookies *.75 = 15.75

Brownies made the most money
