The campers asked their counselor to tell them her age. She replied, “If you add four years to my present age, the result will b

Thus the counselor's age is 20 years.

<h2>Linear system</h2>

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

<h3>Ratio and proportion</h3>

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b does not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

Given

Add four years to my present age, the result will be two times my camper’s.

Five years ago my age was 3/4 of what hers will be in eight years.

The present age of counselor.

<h3>How to find the present age of counselors?</h3>

Add four years to my present age, the result will be two times my camper’s. then,

y +4 = 2x .....1

Five years ago my age was 3/4 of what hers will be in eight years.

$\rm y - 5 = \dfrac{3}{4} (x + 8)$ .....2

From equation 1 and 2

$\begin{aligned} \rm 2x - 4 - 5 &= \dfrac{3}{4} (x + 8)\\8x - 36 &= 3x +24\\5x &= 60\\x &= 12 \end{aligned}$

Put the value of x in equation 2, then

y + 4 = 2x

y + 4 = 2 *12

y = 24 - 4

y = 20

Thus the counselor's age is 20 years.

Every 8th person that goes into a store gets a free bottle. Every 10th person that goes into a store gets a t-shirt. There are 1

raketka [301]

25 persons will get both bottle and t – shirt.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, every 8th person that goes into a store gets a free bottle.

And every 10th person that goes into a store gets a t-shirt.

There are 100 bottles and 100 t shirts to give out.

We have to find how many people get a t shirt and a bottle

Now, as there are 100 t- shirts, last person to get t – shirt is:

10 x 100 = 1000th person will get last t – shirt

We have to find lcm of 8 and 10, to know who gets both bottle and t – shirt.

So, L.C.M of 8 and 10 = lcm(8, 10)

= 2 x lcm(4, 5)

= 2 x 4 x 5 [ as no common factors available for 4 and 5 ]

= 40

So, every 40th person will get both bottle and t – shirt.

Then, out of 1000 people, number of people who get both bottle and t – shirt = $\frac{1000}{40} = 25$

A store is having a sale on trail mix and jelly beans. For 5 pounds of trail mix and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Trail Mix costs $2.50 per pound, and Jelly Beans cost $1.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using x for trail mix and y for jelly beans, we have a system of equations being

$\left \{ {{5x+3y=17} \atop {2x+12y=23}} \right.$

We can solve this system using substitution

5x+3y=17

Divide by 5 to have a coefficient of 1 before x

$x+\frac{3}{5} y=\frac{17}{5}$

Subtract $\frac{3}{5} y$ from each side to single out one variable to one side

$x=\frac{17}{5} -\frac{3}{5} y$

Now, we can plug in our value for x into the given equation

$2(\frac{17}{5} -\frac{3}{5} y)+12y=23$

Open the parentheses

$\frac{34}{5} -1\frac{1}{5} y+12y=23$

Merge Y values

$6.8+10.8y=23$

Separate numerical values from variables

$10.8y=16.2$

Divide by 10.8 in order to have a coefficient of 1

$y=1.5$

Now that we have one of the values, we know that a pound of jelly beans costs $1.50. We can now plug in 1.5 for y into one of our equations to find x.

$5x+3(1.5)=17$
