Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of the kitchen clock sold =a
Let the number of the cuckoo clock sold =b
Let the number of the two-foot high grandfather clocks sold =c
The new saleswoman sold at least two of each of the three models.
Therefore:
In all, she collected $300 from selling these models alone
17a+31b+61c=300
17(2)+31(2)+61(2)=218
300-218=82
Next, we try to express the remainder (82) in terms of 17, 31 and 61
82=17(3)+31
Therefore, she sold:
- 5 kitchen clocks
- 3 cuckoo clocks
- 2 two-foot high grandfather clocks
She sold 5 $17 clocks.
CHECK:
17(5)+31(3)+2(61)=$300
Answer:
Each pizza costs $12.
Each drink costs $2.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the cost of each pizza.
y is the cost of each drinks.
The Talbot family got 2 pizzas and 4 drinks for $32.
This means that
The Martinez family got 3 pizzas and 8 drinks for $52.
This means that
Using the addition method, multiplying the first equation by -2.
-4x - 8y = -64
3x + 8y = 52
-4x + 3x - 8y + 8y = -64 + 52
-x = -12
x = 12
Each pizza costs $12.
2x + 4y = 32
2x + 4y = 32
4y = 32 - 2x
4y = 32 - 2*12
4y = 8
y = 2
Each drink costs $2.
