Let’s call the amount of pants x and the amount of shirts y.
12y + 21x = 240
y + x = 14 which could be changed to x= 14-y

now you plug it into the first equation
12y + 21 (14 - y) = 240
12y + 294 - 21y = 240

add the similar terms
12y - 21y = 240 - 294
-9y = -54

cancels the minus signs on both sides
9y = 54
y= 6

now you plug y = 6 into the equation x = 14-y
x = 14 - 6
x = 8


answer: Pam bought 8 pants and 6 shirts

Can anyone help me please 3t-1/4=7/8
julsineya [31]
3t − 1/4 = 7/8

Add 1/4 to both sides.

3t + −1/4 + 1/4 = 7/8 + 1/4

3t = 9/8

Divide both sides by 3.

3t/3 = 98/3

t=3/8

Juan did a survey in four butterfly parks and wrote the following observations: Butterfly Park Survey Park Number of Pink Butter
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Park Q has greatest percentage of pink butterflies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Butterfly Park Survey Park           P     Q      R       S

No, of Pink Butterflies                  25    35   37      23

Total Number of Butterflies          53    64   75     55

Now we are supposed to find which park had the greatest percentage of pink butterflies

So, Percentage of pink butterflies in park P =\frac{25}{53} \times 100=47.169\%

Percentage of pink butterflies in park Q =\frac{35}{64} \times 100=54.68\%

Percentage of pink butterflies in park R= \frac{37}{75} \times 100=49.33\%

Percentage of pink butterflies in park S= \frac{23}{55} \times 100=41.81\%

So, Park Q has greatest percentage of pink butterflies.

So, Option B is true

Hence Park Q has greatest percentage of pink butterflies.
