Answer: 90 apples

Step-by-step explanation: If Mat sold 8 times as many apples as how much he gave to his son, this means he sold 40 apples.  Altogether, he loses 45 apples (5 to his son, 40 sold), and this is 1/2 of the original numbers of apples.  Hence, the original number of apples was 90

The number of cattle at a farm is 660. This is a 10% decrease in the number of cows, a 50% increase in the number of bulls, and
LuckyWell [14K]

<span><span>let x = cows last year
</span> </span><span><span>let y = bulls last year
</span> </span><span><span>x + y = last years total
</span> </span><span><span>0.9x + 1.5y = 660 (this year's total)
</span> <span>1.1(x+y) = 660  </span>= </span><span>1.1x + 1.1y = 660
</span><span>
</span><span><span>so:
</span> </span><span><span>0.9x + 1.5y = 1.1x + 1.1y
</span> </span><span><span>subtract 0.9x from each side:
</span> </span><span><span>1.5y = 0.2x + 1.1y
</span> </span><span><span>subtract 1.1y from each side
</span> </span><span><span>0.4y = 0.2x
</span> </span><span><span>to make x 1 multiply both sides by 5
</span> </span><span><span>2y = x
</span> </span><span><span>substitute for x in one of the original problems:
</span> since they had 660 this year and that number is 10% higher than last year, then we had 600 total last year. </span>

<span><span>So:
</span> </span><span><span>600 = x + y
</span> </span><span><span>substitute into that one with the 2y = x
</span> </span><span><span>600 = 2y + y
</span> </span><span><span>600 = 3y
</span> </span><span><span>200 = y
</span> </span><span><span>then 600 - y = x
</span> </span><span><span>so 600 - 200 = x
</span> 400 = x</span>

<span> So you had 400 cows and 200 bulls last year</span>
