Let the number of chemistry books be x and the number of calculus books be y
total number of books in each case is:
x+y=24
x=24-y.....i

Weight of each case:
2707.2/20
=135.36
thus
4.2x+6.0y=135.36..ii substituting i in ii
4.2(24-y)+6y=135.36
100.8-4.2y+6y=135.36
hence
1.8y=34.56
y=19.2
hence
x=24-19.2
x=4.8
thus the number of chemistry books was 4.8*20=96 number of calculus was
19.2*20
=384 books

Andrew [12]

The Inequality representing money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift is .

Jordan can still spend at most $30 on her friends birthday gift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total money need to spend at most = $45

Money spent on Yoga ball = $15

We need to find how much money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift.

Solution:

Let the money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Money spent on Yoga ball plus money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift should be less than or equal to Total money need to spend.

framing in equation form we get;

The Inequality representing money she can still spend on her friend birthday gift is .

On solving the the above Inequality we get;

we will subtract both side by 15 using subtraction property of Inequality.

Hence Jordan can still spend at most $30 on her friends birthday gift.

Len [333]

Answer:If I’m correct I believe seven you cars for 16.45 would be better

Step-by-step explanation:

Since three cars cost 7.50 you would divide 7.50 to get the cost for each car which would give you 2.50 and since seven cars cost 16.45 you would divide 16.45 by 7 to get the cost of each car which would come out to 2.35 making it a better buy
