Answer:

He can buy 160 crates of apples and 40 crates of pears. (160, 40).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

25x+25y=5000 (1)

6x+5.50y=1180 (2), where:

x is the number of crates of apples

y is the number of crates of pears

First, you can solve for x in (1):

25x=5000-25y

x=(5000/25)-(25y/25)

x=200-y (3)

Then, you can replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

6(200-y)+5.50y=1180

1200-6y+5.50y=1180

1200-1180=6y-5.50y

20=0.5y

y=20/0.5

y=40

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find the value of x:

x=200-y

x=200-40

x=160

According to this, the answer is that he can buy 160 crates of apples and 40 crates of pears. (160, 40).

Alik [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,

We can tell by reading the question that they sell 48 cupcakes witch is 4 dozens every hour so if they continue to sell at that same rate then:

There are 8 hours between 9am and 5pm

∴ It is 48:1

That means 48 cupcakes per hour this is equation is a direct proportion so if any number increases so will the other

So if it is 48:1 then x:8 with be = 48x8

∴ Sarah and Jean will be able to sell 384 cupcakes
