Sarah sold a total of 178 t shirts and posters at a festival. She sold 46 more tshirts than poster. How many posters did she sel
ycow [4]

Sarah sold 66 posters

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of shirts sold

Let "b" be the number of posters sold

<em><u>Sarah sold a total of 178 t shirts and posters at a festival</u></em>

Therefore,

number of shirts sold + number of posters sold = 178

a + b = 178 ----------- eqn 1

<em><u>She sold 46 more tshirts than poster</u></em>

Number of shirts sold = 46 + number of posters sold

a = 46 + b --------- eqn 2

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

46 + b + b = 178

2b = 178 - 46

2b = 132

b = 66

Thus she sold 66 posters

Short Answer: 18 minutes
Remark

The answer to this problem is less than the smallest time of the two people working together. that fact lets out C and D (38 minutes and 75 minutes). Now you have to choose 15 minutes and 18 minutes. There's a method. No guessing needed.

Givens
Let the time for Sophie = S
Let the time for Simon = M
Let the job to completion = 1 
S = 45 minutes
M = 30 minutes

Step One
Convert minutes to hours.
45 minutes = 45 / 60 = 3/4 hour = 0.75 hour
30 minutes = 30 / 60 = 1/2 hour = 0.50 hour

Step Two
Set up the Equation
The formula is a form of job / hour.
Let the time = t that they both have to work

job = 1 in these problems.
1/S + 1/M = 1/t
1/0.75 + 1/0.5 = 1/t

Solve
1 ÷ 0.75 = 1.33333
1 ÷ 0.5 = 2

1.3333 + 2 = 3.33333 
3.3333 = 1 / t                    Multlply both sides by t
3.3333*t = 1
t = 1 / 3.333333333
t = 0.3 of an hour


1 hour = 60 minutes
0.3 hours = x              Cross Multiply
x = 60 * 0.3
x = 18 minutes

Answer working together it took them 18 minutes  <<<<<

Four times a number plus five times the number is the same as ten more than eight
salantis [7]

Answer:

The number is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Four times a number plus five times the number is the same as ten more than eight  times the number.

Let,

x represent the number.

According to given statement,

4 times the number + 5 times the number = 10 + eight times the number

4x+5x=10+8x

Solving the equation,

9x=10+8x

Subtracting 8x from both sides

9x-8x=10+8x-8x

x=10

Hence,

The number is 10.
