Question

How to do questions 19 and 20

Answer 1

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given in the question we can form the following 3 equations (in the order of the first 3 sentences)

w = 2h (twice the price)

t = h - 4 ($4 less)

3w + 2h + 5t = 136 (total purchasing and cost)

We can solve all 3 equations for h first, by substituting the first two equations, into the third equations w and t

3(2h) + 2h + 5(h-4) = 136

Simplify

6h + 2h + 5h - 20 = 136

13h = 136 + 20

13h = 156

h = 156/13

h = $12

Using this information, we can solve for w and t

w = 2h

w = 2(12)

w = $24

And finally

t = h - 4

t = 12 - 4

t = $8
