Seven cakes cost £2.10 how much do 10 cakes cost

1 answer:

7 0

Ten cakes costs $2.19 (pounds, but I don't have a pounds symbol on my computer) because if you divide $2.10 by seven you get $0.3, and if you add 3×0.3 (because we have seven, and we need to add three more to get ten) we get $0.9.

0.9+2.10=2.19

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.

Since a total of 47 hats where purchased, hence:

x + y + z = 47 (1)

Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:

5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302 (2)

He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:

y = 3x

-x + 3y = 0 (3)

Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]$
