Question

Haley is responsible for buying a week's supply of food and medication for the pigs and cows at a local co-op. The food and medication for each cow costs three times as much as those supplies for a pig. She needs to feed 30 cows and 8 pigs. Her budget is $2,450. Let p represent the cost per pig and c represent the cost per cow.
How much does Haley spend on each cow at the co-op?

Answer 1

Answer:

c- 75

p- 25

Step-by-step explanation:

so haley has 2450 in total and the pig cost 25 so if the cows are 3 times more than the pigs  . so the cows stuff cost 75 each so now multiply 75 x 30 = 2250  and the pigs cost 25 each multiply 25 x 8 = 200 then add 2250 + 200 = 2450 which means haley has the exact money to pay the stuff. haley spends 75 on each cow.
