Answer:

Yes, it's enough information

Step-by-step explanation:

yes, there is enough information to determine the cost of 1 pack of pencils and 1 pack of pens

we just need an algebra of elimination and substition to find the coat of each. like this:

pencils = C

pen = N

2 C + 3 N = 8.25 (times by 2)

5 C + 2 N = 11.00 (times by 3)

------------------------- - (we eliminate the N)

4 C + 6 N = 16.50

15 C + 6 N = 33.00

------------------------- -

-11 C = - 16.5

C = (-16.5) : (-11) = $ 1.50

so the price of 1 pack of pencils is $ 1.50

now we use subtitution to find the price of 1 pack of pens

2 C + 3 N = 8.25

2 (1.50) + 3 N = 8.25

3.00 + 3 N = 8.25

3 N = 8.25 - 3.00

3 N = 5.25

N = 5.25 : 3 = $ 1.75

so the price of 1 pack of pencils is $ 1.75

Answer:

287.1 inches of the canvas.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to first figure out the total area of the canvas. To do that, multiply width by height.

29*33=957

Now set up your equation for solving for the area of the canvas that the rose covers.

x/957=30/100

We did it where: x is the area of the rose covers, 957 is the amount of inches that the canvas takes up, and the right side of the equation is the percent.

Now cross multiply.

100x=28,710

Now divide both sides by 100.

x=287.1

The red rose covers 287.1 inches of the canvas.
