Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

ok, so first you want to create your equations. let s=shirts, and p=pants. 4s+3p=159, and 3s+2p=113. next you want to get one variable in each equation to be the same. I multiplied the first by 2 and the second by 3 to make the ps the same. now we subtract our equations. (9s+6p=339) - (8s+6p=318) this gives you s=21. Now we put that in to solve for p, it doesnt matter which of the 4 equations. 4(8)+3p=159 = 3p=127 = p=42 1/3. now we just multiply them to find the cost of 5 of each. which is the answer above.

The speed of a stream is 4km/h. A boat travels 6 km upstream in the time it takes to travel 12 km downstream. What is the speed
Usimov [2.4K]
<span>6 km × 1 hour/(b-4 km) = 12 km × (1 hour/(b+4 km) 

6/(b-4) hours = 12/(b+4) hours

6(b+4) = 12(b-4)

6b + 24 = 12b - 48
72 = 6b
b = 12 
The boat's speed in still water is 12 km/hour.</span>

A hardware store has 200 paintbrushes. They order 9 boxes with 12 paintbrushes each. They sell 11 boxes that have 6 paintbrushes
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The hardware store has 200 paintbrushes. They order 9 boxes with 12 paintbrushes each. This means that the total number of paintbrushes that was ordered is

12 × 9 = 108

Therefore, the total number of paintbrushes that the store has would be

200 + 108 = 308

They sell 11 boxes that have 6 paintbrushes each. This means that the total number of paintbrushes that they sold is

11 × 6 = 66

Therefore, the number of paintbrushes left would be

308 - 66 = 242

The manager's estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 120 paintbrushes and sold about 60 of them so they should have about 60 more paintbrushes than they started with.
