Answer:

Male Fish = 20

Female Fish = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of male fish be x and number of female fish be y

There are 36 fishes in total, so we can write:

x + y = 36

or

x = 36 - y

Also, male fish (x) cost 5 each and female fish (y) cost 7 each totalling $212, so we can write:

5x + 7y = 212

Now, we can put 1st equation in 2nd equation and get an equation in "y" and solve for y first:

5x + 7y = 212\\5(36-y) + 7y = 212\\180-5y+7y=212\\2y=212-180\\2y=32\\y=\frac{32}{2}\\y=16

We know x = 36 - y, so

x = 36 - 16

x = 20

Thus,

there are

20 Male fishes & 16 female fishes in the aquarium

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST, RATING, AND THANKS!
Mashutka [201]

-10(-2)+y = 4

20 + y = 4

y = -16

----------------

-10(-1)+y = 4

10 + y = 4

y = -6

----------------

-10(0) + y = 4

0 + y = 4

y = -4

----------------

-10(1)+y = 4

-10 + y = 4

y = 14

----------------

-10(2)+y = 4

-20 + y = 4

y = 24

----------------

I hope thi helps

Evgesh-ka [11]

Robert should get D. 8281.25 pesos in exchange.

Explanation:

  • Robert is bringing 625 U.S. dollars with him to Mexico. He needs to exchange the money he has with him to Mexico's currency i.e. from U.S. dollars to Mexican pesos.
  • The exchange rate is 13.25 Mexican pesos for each U.S. dollar. So                               1 U.S. dollar = 13.25 Mexican pesos.
  • So to calculate how much 625 U.S. dollars is in pesos we multiply 625 with the exchange rate i.e. 13.25 pesos                                                        625 U.S dollars = 625 × 13.25 = 8281.25 Mexican pesos.
