Answer:
- <u>120 pens and 200 pencils.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
You can set a system of two equations.
<u>1. Variables</u>
<u />
- x: number of pens
- y: number of pencils
<u>2. Cost</u>
- <em>each pen costs</em> $1, then x pens costs: x
- <em>each pencil costs</em> $0.5, then y pencil costs: 0.5y
- Then, the total cost is: x + 0.5y
- The cost of the whole purchase was $ 220, then the first equation is:
x + 0.5y = 220 ↔ equation (1)
<u>3. </u><em><u>There were 80 more pencils than pens</u></em>
Then:
pencils = 80 + pens
↓ ↓
y = 80 + x ↔ equation (2)
<u>4. Solve the system</u>
i) Substitute the equation (2) into the equation (1):
ii) Solve
iii) Substitute x = 120 into the equation (2)
Solution: 120 pens and 200 pencils ← answer
It would be 53%. The biased survey is survey 2. The other surveys give 50%, 54%, and 54%
Answer:
x and y = 0
the question looks weird and almost wrong because when you subtract the equations, you are left with nothing
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the top equation by 3 to make the -x a -3x instead.
Then do the top equation - the bottom equation
At this point you should be left with x
Answer:
6:21
Step-by-step explanation:
because there is 6 roses and 21 other types 6/21 = 6:21
