Answer:
The correct unit price is $1.17 per pair of gloves. The error is she used number of dozens so, firstly convert it to number of pairs of gloves then divide.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given 4 dozen pairs of gloves for $56.16.
So, unit price = Divide the price by number of pairs of gloves.
And 1 dozen =12
So 4 dozen =4*12=48 pairs of gloves
So, to find unit rate divide 56.16 by 48.
Unit price =
So, the error is she didn't convert the dozen to units.
That made mistake in finding unit price.
X-4y=-12
4x-y=12
eliminate y's
multily 2nd equaiton by -4 and add to top one
x-4y=-12
<u>-16x+4y=-48 +
</u>-15x+0y=-60
-15x=-60
divide both sides by -15
x=4
sub back
x-4y=-12
4-4y=-12
minus 4 both sides
-4y=-16
divide both sides by -4
y=4
x=4
y=4
(x,y)
(4,4)<u>
