X + y = 152, 8.5x + 12y = 1,656 How many hats were sold?

Mathematics

Elodia [21]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 48 and y = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

x+y = 152\\8.5x+12y=1656

From equation 1:

x = 152-y

Putting the value of y in equation 2

8.5(152-y)+12y = 1656\\1292-8.5y+12y = 1656\\3.5y+1292 = 1656\\3.5y = 1656-1292\\3.5y = 364\\\frac{3.5y}{3.5} = \frac{364}{3.5}\\y = 104

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x

Putting y = 104 in the first equation

x+y = 152\\x+ 104 = 152\\x = 152-104\\x = 48

Hence,

The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104

The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.

Suppose that the amount of time it takes to build a highway varies directly with the length of the highway and inversely with th
KatRina [158]

Answer:

21 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to use proportionality to find the solution to the question.

We were made to know that the time taken to build the highway is varied directly with the length and inversely with the number of workers.

Let us make a mathematical representation for this.

Let the time be t, number of workers be w and length be l

t is directly proportional to l and inversely proportional to w

Mathematically;

t = kl/w

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Let’s find the value of k

150 workers built 12 miles of highway in 14 weeks ; plug these in the equation to get k

14 = k * 12/150

k = 150 * 14/12 = 175

Now we want to get t given w and l

from ;

t = kl/w

We can get t; where l = 15 and w = 125

t = 175 * 15/125

t = 21 weeks
