Let x be the mass of the paperbacks and y be the mass of the textbook.
20x + 9y = 44.4 ----------- (1)
25x + 10y = 51 -------------(2)
(1) x 10:
200x + 90y = 444 --------(1a)
(2) x 9:
225x + 90y = 459 --------(2a)
(2a) - (1a):
25x = 15
x = 0.6 -------- sub into (1)
20 (0.6) + 9y = 44.4
12 + 9y = 44.4
9y = 44.4 - 12
9y = 32.4
y = 3.6
So the paperback's mass is 0.6 pounds and textbook is 3.6 pounds
Answer: Loss = Rs. 416
Step-by-step explanation:
Since CP is more than SP, it is a loss.
Loss = CP - SP
Loss = 9000 - 8584
Loss = 416
First, I will made 4 1/2 into the decimal which is 4.5. Then, I add 6 with 4.5 to find the total fabric that Belinda will buy which is 10.5 in total. As a result, Belinda buys total 10.5 white and red fabrics.
Answer:
23.55
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is actually a repeating decimal with an infinite amount of 5s but you only really need to show 2 or 3 to show that it's repeating
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of pillowcases
y: number of sheets
We now write the system of equations:
2x + 5y = 40
x = 2y
Solving the system we have:
x = 8.9
y = 4.4
Answer:
The maximum number of pillowcases she could have purchased is:
x = 8 (spent less than $ 40)
