Answer:

sedan = 26 miles/gallon

truck = 17 miles/gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

try to write the text in mathematical format as a system of equations

t=truck s=sedan

\left \{ {{3t+5s=181} \atop {7t+6s=275}} \right.

first equation can be written as

t= (181-5s)/3

we can use it in the second equation and rewrite it as

7[(181-5s)/3]+6s = 275

7(181/3 -5/3s) + 6s = 275

1267/3 - 35/3s + 6s = 275

-35/3s + 18/3s = 275-1267/3

-35/3s + 18/3s = 825/3 - 1267/3

-35s + 18s = 825 -1267

-17s = -442     s = 442/17 = 26 sedan has an average of 26 miles/gallon

we use this value of s in the first equation

3t + 5*26=181      3t=181-130   t= 51/3 = 17 truck has an average of 17 miles/gallon

Oksanka [162]
6\100 also equals 3/50

so in turn if 50 goes into 850 exactly 17 times we can then multiply 6 by that same variable

in turn if there were 850 applicants then 102 students would be accepted into Harvard.
