Answer:
The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are;
The number of doses given in a polio vaccine = 6 doses
The number of doses given in a measles vaccine = 3 doses
The number of vaccinations given by Dr. Potter last year = 60 vaccinations
The number of doses given in the 60 vaccinations = 225 doses
Let the number of polio vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = x
Let the number of measles vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = y
Therefore, we have;
6 × x + 3 × y = 225.......................(1)
x + y = 60.......................................(2)
From equation (2), we have;
x = 60 - y
Substituting the derived value for x in equation (1), we get;
6 × x + 3 × y = 225
6 × (60 - y) + 3 × y = 225
360 - 6·y + 3·y = 225
360 - 225 = 6·y - 3·y
135 = 3·y
y = 45
x = 60 - y = 60 - 45 = 15
Therefore;
The number of polio vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = 15
The number of measles vaccine given last year by Dr. Potter = 45
The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines = 45 - 15 = 30 vaccines.
The number of measles vaccines that Dr. Potter give than polio vaccines = 30 vaccines.
