Answer:

\#\text{ of 8-onion bags: }4,\\\#\text{ of 3-onion bags: }3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the number of bags with 8 onions and let b be the number of bags with 3 onions. We have the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}a+b=7,\\8a+3b=41\end{cases}

Subtracting b from both sides of the first equation, we get a=7-b. Substitute this into the second equation:

8(7-b)+3b=41,\\56-8b+3b=41,\\56-5b=41,\\-5b=-15,\\b=\boxed{3}

Therefore, the number of 8-onion bags is:

a=7-b,\\a=7-3,\\a=\boxed{4}

Thus, the chef got 4 8-onion bags and 3 3-onion bags.

How do you do the question of 50%of 50 in math like how would you solve it
AveGali [126]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

50% is half of something. half of 50 is 25.

Also there is another way to do it. 50/100 = 50%.

50/100 x 50 = 2500/100 = 25.  or 50/100 = 1/2. 1/2 x 50 = 50/2 = 25.
