Answer:

$7.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a linear function (again)

let x = peanuts

let y = almonds

3x+4y=27.45

5x+2y=24.05

Multiple 2nd equation by 2

3x+4y=27.45

10x+4y= 48.1

7x=20.65

x=2.95

Plug in x into either equation

10x+4y= 48.1

29.5+4y=48.1

4y=18.6

y=4.65

4.65+2.95=7.60

A chef got 7 bags of onions. The red onions came in bags of 8 and the yellow onions came in bags of 3. If the chef got a total o

frutty [35]

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.
