Answer:

  • 7 pounds of fish
  • 18.5 pounds of lobster

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of lobster sold. Then 25.5-x is the number of pounds of fish. The total money made is ...

  4.25(25.5-x) +9.00x = 196.25

  4.75x + 108.375 = 196.25 . . . . . simplify

  4.75x = 87.875 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 108.375

  x = 18.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4.75

The market sold 7 pounds of fish and 18.5 pounds of lobster.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Fifty more than half the number of the oranges is one-hundred-and-twenty.

The sum of fifty and half the number of oranges is the same as one-hundred-twenty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 50 + one-half m = 120.

Assume the number of oranges=m

50+1/2m=120

1/2m=120-50

1/2m=70

m=70÷1/2

=140

All statement that applies includes:

1. Fifty more than half the number of the oranges is one-hundred-and-twenty.

50+1/2m=120

2. The sum of fifty and half the number of oranges is the same as one-hundred-twenty.

50+1/2m=120

Martha can use the two statements above to communicate the correct equation
