Answer:

1 litro de leche cuesta 2.5

1 kg de jamón serrano cuesta 35

1 litro de aceite de oliva cuesta 7,5

Step-by-step explanation:

Pregunta correcta completa

Un cliente de un supermercado ha pagado un total de 240 por 16 litros de leche,4kg de hamon serrano y 8 litros de aceite de oliva. Sabiendo que 1 litro de aceite cuesta el tripe de 1 litro de leche; que 1kg de jamon cuesta igual que el cliente tendria que pagar si hubiera comprado 5 litros de leche y 3 litros de aceite de oliva. Calcule el precio de cada artículo.

Solución

Deje que el precio de un litro de leche, un kilogramo de jamón serrano y un litro de aceite de oliva sea x, y y z respectivamente.

16 litros de leche, 4 kg de hamon serrano y 8 litros de aceite de oliva cuestan 240

16x + 4y + 8z = 240 (ecuación 1)

1 litro de aceite cuesta el triple de 1 litro de leche

z = 3x (ecuación 2)

Y ese 1 kg de jamón cuesta lo mismo que el cliente tendría que pagar si hubiera comprado 5 litros de leche y 3 litros de aceite de oliva.

y = 5x + 3z (ecuación 3)

Sustituyendo las ecuaciones 2 y 3 en la ecuación 1

16x + 4(5x + 3z) + 8(3x) = 240

16x + 20x + 12z + 24x = 240

Recordemos que z = 3x

36x + 12(3x) + 24x = 240

36x + 36x + 24x = 240

96x = 240

x = (240/96) = 2.5

z = 3x = 3 × 2.5 = 7.5

y = 5x + 3z = (5×2.5) + (3×7.5) = 35

English Translation

A supermarket customer has paid a total of 240 for 16 liters of milk, 4kg of hamon serrano and 8 liters of olive oil. Knowing that 1 liter of oil costs the tripe of 1 liter of milk; t that 1kg of ham costs the same as the customer would have to pay if he had bought 5 liters of milk and 3 liters of olive oil. Calculate the price of each item.

Solution

Let the price of a liter of milk, a kilogram of Serrano ham and a liter of olive oil be x, y and z respectively.

16 liters of milk, 4kg of hamon serrano and 8 liters of olive oil cost 240

16x + 4y + 8z = 240 (eqn 1)

1 liter of oil costs the triple of 1 liter of milk

z = 3x (eqn 2)

And that 1kg of ham costs the same as the customer would have to pay if he had bought 5 liters of milk and 3 liters of olive oil

y = 5x + 3z (eqn 3)

Substituting eqn 2 and 3 into eqn 1

16x + 4(5x + 3z) + 8(3x) = 240

16x + 20x + 12z + 24x = 240

Recall that z = 3x

36x + 12(3x) + 24x = 240

36x + 36x + 24x = 240

96x = 240

x = (240/96) = 2.5

z = 3x = 3 × 2.5 = 7.5

y = 5x + 3z = (5×2.5) + (3×7.5) = 35

1 liter of milk costs 2.5

1 kg of Serrano ham costs 35

1 liter of olive oil costs 7.5

Hope this Helps!!!

The value of the radical expression -8 + √20 when expanded and solved is -3.6, based on the given parameters

<h3>What are equivalent expressions?</h3>

Equivalent expressions are different expressions that have equal values when evaluated and compared

<h3>How to approximate the radical expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

-8 + √20

The above expression is a radical expression

So, we start by doing the following

Express 20 as 5 * 4

-8 + √20 = -8 + √(5 * 4)

Split the radical expression √(5 * 4)

-8 + √20 = -8 + √5 * √4

Evaluate the square root of 4 i.e. √4 = 2

-8 + √20 = -8 + √5 * 2

This gives

-8 + √20 = -8 + 2√5

Evaluate the square root of 5

-8 + √20 = -8 + 2 * 2.2

Evaluate the product of 2 and 2.2

-8 + √20 = -8 + 4.4

Evaluate the difference

-8 + √20 = -3.6

Based on the given parameters, the value of the radical expression -8 + √20 when expanded and solved is -3.6

So, the complete equation is:

-8 + √20 = -3.6
