Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call these numbers x and y and model the information we have.

x=1/5y

y-x=228 (we see that x is smaller than y in the first equation, so we put it second )

We see that x is equal to 1/5y. We can switch the x in the second equation with 1/5y and solve for y.

y-1/5y=228

4/5y=228

We divide both sides by 4/5.

y=285

We know that x is 1/5 of y, so we divide by 5.

285/5=57

x=57

So, our numbers are 57 and 285.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The parents' club will need 100 of the same item for international night. They have a budget of $250. The choices are 100 baseba
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The parents' club can afford to buy 100 Baseball hats or 100 sports bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Item to be bought = 100

Total Budget = $250

Cost of each Baseball Hat = $2.45

Cost of each sports bottles = $2.50

Cost of each flag = $2.75

We need to find which items can they afford to buy.

Solution:

each Baseball Hat = $2.45

100 Baseball Hat = Cost of 100 Baseball Hat

Using Unitary method we get;

Cost of 100 Baseball Hat  = 2.45\times 100 =\$245

each sports bottles = $2.50

100 sports bottles = Cost of 100 sports bottles

Using Unitary method we get;

Cost of 100 sports bottles  = 2.5\times 100 =\$250

each flag = $2.75

100 flags = Cost of 100 flags

Using Unitary method we get;

Cost of 100 flags  = 2.75\times 100 =\$275

Hence from above we can see that;

Cost of 100 Base ball hat and 100 sports bottles are within the budget while Cost of 100 flags exceed the budget.

So we can say that;

The parents' club can afford to buy 100 Baseball hats or 100 sports bottles.
