Why are you taking a map test in january
T = Total income
N = Number of purses
35N = the selling price of each purse
17N = Cost of each purse
T = 35*N - 17*N - 75
T = 18N - 75
If she wants here total income to be 350 dollars, it will take
T = 350 ; N = unknown.
350 = 18N - 75 Add 75 to both sides.
350 + 75 = 18N
425 = 18N
Rounded N = 24 <<<< Answer. The actually number is 23.611 but you can't sell 0.611 of a purse.
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
