Answer:
Option D. Marcelina spends less that the intended amount of money and buy less than enough corn
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> is the amount of white corn she buys
y ---> is the amount of yellow corn she buys
we know that
She needs to buy 50 kg of corn in total
so
----> equation A
She wants to spend $12 dollars total
so
----> equation B
The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs
The solution is the point (30,20)
That means
Marcelina needs to buy 30 kg of white corn and 20 kg of yellow corn
we have the ordered pair F(15.15)
That means
15 kg of white corn and 15 kg of yellow corn
therefore
Total kg of corn bought is
Total spend is
therefore
Marcelina spends less that the intended amount of money and buy less than enough corn
4, 5, and 7 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem right away.
We construct a number such that taking it mod 4, 5, and 7 leaves the desired remainders:
- Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we have
so we multiply the first term by 3.
- Taken mod 5, the first and last terms vanish and we have
so we multiply the second term by 2.
- Taken mod 7, the first two terms vanish and we have
so we multiply the last term by 7.
Now,
By the CRT, the system of congruences has a general solution
or all integers ,
, the least (and positive) of which is 27.
