P = pizza and c =cakes
Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220
Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.
4c = 220 - 28p
Now divide each side by 4
c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p
Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p
8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134
Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134
Let’s add 83p to each side.
715 = 134 + 83p
Subtract 134 from each side
581 = 83p
Divide each side by 83
p = $7
The factor of mn+5m-3n-15 is 6m-4n-15.
100 notes were altogether
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that ratio of the number of $2 notes to the number of $5 notes was 4 : 1
number of $2 notes : number of $5 notes = 4 : 1
Let 4x be the number of $ 2 notes
Let 1x be the number of $ 5 notes
Given that total value of notes is $ 260
Therefore,
$ 2 (number of $ 2 notes ) + $ 5(number of $ 5 notes ) = $ 260
$ 2(4x) + $ 5(1x) = $ 260
8x + 5x = 260
13x = 260
x = 20
<em><u>Thus number of notes altogether is given as:</u></em>
4x + 1x = 4(20) + 1(20) = 80 + 20 = 100
Thus 100 notes were altogether
