Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 336
Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 287
Now, here we are using the method of estimation i.e. rounding the integers to nearest ones.
By estimation, we get
Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 340
Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 290
So,
Difference between them is given by
Hence, Bob sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.
Hello!
Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:
• hotdogs: $2.59 (,x,)
,• hamburgers: $5.29 (,y,)
He needs 11 packages. Let's write it:
• x + y = 11
He spent a total of $39.29. We can write it as:
• 2.59x + 5.29y = 39.29
Now, let's solve these two equations as a linear system:
First, let's isolate x in equation A:
Now, we will replace where's x by 11-y in equation B:
As I called the hamburgers as 'y', we know that he bought 4 packages of hamburgers.
