Answer:number of cupcakes sold is 13
Number of cookies sold is 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Jane sold.
Let y represent the number of cookies that Jane sold.
Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day, Jean had sold $42.75 worth of cookies and cupcakes.
This means that
2.25x + 0.5y = 42.75 - - - - - - - - - -1
she sold 40 cupcakes and cookies combined, it means that
x + y = 40
Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2.25(40 - y) + 0.5y = 42.75
90 - 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75
- 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75 - 90
- 1.75y = - 47.25
y = - 47.35/-1.75
y = 27
x = 40 - y
x = 40-27 = 13
.
25y.......140x
36y..........x
Cross multiply
25x= 36*140
25x= 5040
x= 5040/25
x= 1008/5
x= 201.6
When y=36 the x will = 201.6

Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you meant :
the restaurant has 20 1/2 pounds of bananas.
one smoothie uses 1/8 pound of bananas.
how many smoothies can be made with the amount of available bananas ?
the answer is as many as the times 1/8 fit into 20 1/2.
so, we actually calculate
(20 1/2) / (1/8)
first we will convert the mixed number into a true fraction :
20 1/2 = 40/2 + 1/2 = 41/2
so we have
41/2 / 1/8
and then, when dividing fractions we have 2 choices (they do both the same, of course, but start looking differently) :
a/b / c/d = a×d / b×c
a/b / c/d = a/b × d/c = a×d / b×c
so,
41/2 / 1/8 = 41×8 / 2×1 = 41×4 = 164
they can make 164 smoothies.
