Answer:

Jim sold 340 reams of paper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three is a way to solve proportionality problems between three known values ​​and one unknown. . That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.

If the relationship between magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three should be applied as follows, a, b and c the known values ​​and x the unknown:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, the rule of three can be applied as follows: if 1 box of paper contains 10 reams, 34 boxes of paper will have how many reams?

amount of reams=\frac{34 boxes*10 reams}{1 box}

amount of reams= 340 reams

<u><em>Jim sold 340 reams of paper.</em></u>

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.
