Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525
Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25
The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.
158 boys, and 163 girls, do this by dividing 321 by two(do get how many of each gender if #s were equal) subtract 2.5 to get boys, and add 5 to that to get girls
