Julie made identical necklaces out of shell she collected at the beach all together she we use 10 Brown shells 15 black shells a
1 answer:
Answer:
Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was = 2 brown shells.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Julie made identical necklaces then we can say that number of each different colored shells were equally distributed among the necklaces.
So we can say that to find the number of necklaces we have to find the GCD (greatest common denominator) of the different colored shells.
Therefore the GCD of 10, 15 and 20 is 5.
Therefore Julia made 5 necklaces.
Therefore the number of brown shells in each necklace was = = 2 shells.

Answer:
Metallic Balloons = 74
Bunches of Helium Balloons = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
The question basically asks for the number of "metallic balloons" sold and the number of bunches of "helium balloons" sold.
We will do it in our way. Let B be number o metallic balloons and H be number of bunches of Helium balloons.
Since Metallics cost 2 each and Heliums cost 3.5 per bunch and totaled sales is 281, we can write and equation as:
2B + 3.5H = 281
and, since they sold 36 MORE metallic than helium ,we can write an equation as:
B - 36 = H
We can put 2nd equation in 1st one and solve for B first:
B = 74
Now, we find H:
H = B - 36
H = 74 - 36 = 38
H = 38
