Given :

A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business.

The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes.

Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether.

Find :

Determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped.

Calculations :

Let "S" be small boxes and "L" be large boxes.

Small box + Large box = 19

50S + 80L = 1280

→ 5S + 8L = 128

→ 5 (19 - L) + 8L = 128

→ 3L = 128 - 95

→ L = 33/3

→ L = 11ㅤㅤ

Finding the small box:

→ S = 19 - L

→ S = 19 - 11

→ S = 8

Therefore ,

Large boxes = 11.

Small boxes = 8.

orrrrrr

The number of small boxes is 8 and that of the large boxes is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each small box of paper weighs 50 pounds and each large box of paper

weighs 80 pounds. A total of 19 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 1280 pounds altogether.

Let there are x small boxes and y large boxes.

Then,

x + y = 19 ............ (1) and

50x + 80y = 1280

⇒ 5x + 8y = 128 ............... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,

5( 19 - y) + 8y = 128

⇒ 3y = 128 - 95 = 33

⇒ y = 11

Now, from equation (1) we get, x = 19 - y = 19 - 11 = 8

Therefore, the number of small boxes is 8 and that of the large boxes is 11. (Answer)

If a store had 330 video games, and 47% of the games were for Xbox, and 53% were for ps4, then how many xbox and ps4 games are i
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The number of games for Xbox is about 155

The number of games for PS4 is about 175

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the numbers of games for Xbox and for PS4 game

∵ There are 330 video games in the store

∵ 47% of them were for Xbox

- Multiply 47% by 330

∴ The number of games for Xbox = 47% × 330

∵ 47% = \frac{47}{100}

∴ The number of games for Xbox = \frac{47}{100} × 330

∴ The number of games for Xbox = 155. 1

∴ The number of games for Xbox ≅ 155

∵ 53% of them were for PS4

- Multiply 53% by 330

∴ The number of games for PS4 = 53% × 330

∵ 53% = \frac{53}{100}

∴ The number of games for PS4 = \frac{53}{100} × 330

∴ The number of games for PS4 = 174.9

∴ The number of games for PS4 ≅ 175

bryan has some 3 cent stamps and some 4 cent stamps. what is the least number of stamps he can combine so the value of the stamp
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The least number of stamps required is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 3 cent stamps be x and 4 cent stamps be y

We have

3x+4y=33

The minimum number is obtained when more  4 cent stamps are used

Here y cannot be greater than 8 since \frac{33}{4}

Substitute y=8

3x+4\times 8=33\\\\3x=1\\\\x=\frac{1}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=7

3x+4\times 7=33\\\\3x=5\\\\x=\frac{5}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=6

3x+4\times 6=33\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\frac{9}{3}\\\\=3

Possible

Hence minimum number of stamps is

=x+y\\\\=3+6\\\\=9
