Answer:

The D cells are worth $2.20, and the C cells are worth $1.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as:

4x + 2y = 12.60

6x + 4y =20.80

Our goal is to find one variable, then use that information to find the other.

If we multiply the top function by -1.5, we get:

-6x - 3y = -18.90

We can add this to the previous equation.

  -6x - 3y = -18.90

+ 6x + 4y = 20.80

--------------------------

             y = 1.90

The C cells are worth $1.90.

Plug this value into one of the other equations and solve for x.

4x + 2y = 12.60  

4x + 2(1.90) = 12.60

4x + 3.80 = 12.60  

4x = 8.80

x = 2.20

The D cells are worth $2.20.

Check these values in the other equation.

6x + 4y = 20.80

6(2.20) + 4(1.90) = 20.80

13.20 + 7.60 = 20.80

20.80 = 20.80

Answer:

  C = $1.90 each

  D = $2.20 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  Power pack A:   4D + 2C = 12.60

  Power pack B:   6D + 4C = 20.80

Isolate any one variable:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D = 12.60 - 2C

  D = 3.15 - 0.5C

Substitution to find cost of C cell battery:

  6D + 4C = 20.80

  6(3.15 - 0.5C) + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 - 3C + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 + C = 20.80

  C = 1.90

Substitution to find cost of D cell battery:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D + 2(1.90) = 12.60

  4D + 3.8 = 12.60

  4D = 8.8

  D = 2.20

259 Students go on a field trip. There are 19 vehicles, some vans and some buses.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

12 vans

7 Buses

Step-by-step explanation:

I tried multiple versions but I finally got it right.

Since the buses can hold 25 students at a time I multiplied it by 7.

7 x 25 = 175

Then you'll need to find the remainder.

259-175 = 84

This number would be used to find the students going in the van

84/7= 12

So in total there would be 12 vans

and 7 buses

I hope this helps
