Answer:

The number of

Small candles = x = 12 candles

Large candles = y = 16 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

You sell small and large candles at a craft fair. You collect $144 selling a total of 28 candles. How many of each type of candle did you sell? A photo shows a small candle labeled 4 dollars each and a large candle labeled 6 dollars each.

Let the number of

Small candles = x

Large candles = y

Our system of equations is:

x + y = 28 .......... Equation 1

x = 28 - y

A photo shows a small candle labeled 4 dollars each and a large candle labeled 6 dollars each.

4x + 6y = 144......... Equation 2

Substitute 28 - y for x in Equation 2

4(28 - y) + 6y = 144

112 - 4y + 6y = 144

- 4y + 6y = 144 - 112

2y = 32

y = 32/2

y = 16 candles

x = 28 - y

x = 28 - 16

x = 12 candles

Therefore:

The number of

Small candles = x = 12 candles

Large candles = y = 16 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

Put -5 where x is and do the arithmetic.

Boyd grows only tomatoes and raspberries in his garden. Last year, he grew 140 pounds of tomatoes and 60 pounds of raspberries.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

29%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Boyd grew 140 pounds of tomatoes and 60 pounds of raspberries. This year, the production, by weight, of tomatoes declined by 20 percent, and the production, be weight, of raspberries declined by 50 percent.

First of all, we will find the weight of tomatoes and raspberries using the given information.

Since the production, by weight, of tomatoes declined by 20 percent, so this year production of tomatoes is 80% of 140 pounds.

\frac{80}{100}\times 140=0.80\times 140=112

Since the production, be weight, of raspberries declined by 50 percent, so this year production of raspberries is 50% of 30 pounds.

\frac{50}{100}\times 60=0.50\times 60=30

Total production this year: 112+30=142 pounds.

Now, we will percent decrease formula.

\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{\text{Initial value-Final value}}{\text{Initial value}}\times 100

\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{(140+60)-142}{140+60}\times 100

\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{(200)-142}{200}\times 100

\text{Percent decrease}=\frac{58}{200}\times 100

\text{Percent decrease}=0.29\times 100

\text{Percent decrease}=29

Therefore, the total yield, by weight, of Boyd's garden declined by 29%.
