Answer:

<em>The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call:

a = pounds of apples

b = pounds of bananas

The baker bought a total of 12 pounds of apples and bananas, thus:

a + b = 12      [1]

Apple cost $0.75 per pound and each pound of bananas cost $1.05 per pound. Thus the total cost is 0.75a + 1.05b. We know he spent a total of $10.20, thus

0.75a + 1.05b = 10.20     [2]

Solving [1] for a:

a = 12 - b       [3]

Substituting in [2]:

0.75(12 - b) + 1.05b = 10.20

Operating

9 - 0.75b + 1.05b = 10.20

Simplifying:

0.30b = 10.20 - 9 = 1.20

Dividing by 0.30:

b = 1.20/0.30

b = 4

From [3]:

a = 12 - 4 = 8

a = 8

The baker bought 8 apples and 4 bananas

The cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic. If a company picnic costs $487.50
Drupady [299]

The company picnic cost $ 1300 for 80 employees

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic

Let "c" be the company picnic cost

Let "n" be the number of employees attending the picnic

Therefore,

cost \propto \text{ number of employees attending picnic }

c \propto n\\\\c = kn

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality

c = kn ---------- eqn 1

<em><u>Given that company picnic costs $487.50 for 30 employees</u></em>

Therefore substitute c = 487.50 and n = 30

487.50 = k(30)\\\\k = \frac{487.50}{30} = 16.25

<em><u>How much does a company picnic cost for 80 employees?</u></em>

Substitute n = 80 and k = 16.25 in eqn 1

c = 16.25(80) = 1300

Thus $ 1300 is the cost for 80 employees
