Answer:
190.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Cost of maple syrup = $6.00 a Gallon
Cost of corn syrup = 0.80 cents a Gallon
Cost of the syrup mixture = $2.36 a Gallon
There is mixture of 50 Gallons
Lets maple syrup be x gallons, so corn syrup be 50-x gallons
Hence,
6*x + 0.80(50-x) = 2.36*50
6x + 40 - 0.8x = 118
5.2x = 78
=> x = 78/5.2 => x = 15
So Maple will be syrup be 15 gallons.
Corn syrup will be 35 gallons.</span>
Answer:
step 6 has an algebraic error
208 + 10x = 36x
208 = 36x - 10x
208 = 26x
208/26 = x
8 = x......so she must sell 8 purses to break even
