Given :
The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.
The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.
To Find :
How many packages of each size were shipped.
Solution :
We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.
Let, number of large and small box are l and s.
So,
25l + 6s = 327 ...1)
0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)
Solving both the equations, we get :
x = 9 and y = 17
Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .
Hence, this is the required solution.
D. All real numbers between 111 and 166.5 inclusive.
Answer: 10
Why?
3*9+2y=47
3*9= 27
27+2y=47
47-27= 20
2y=20
20/2=10
Y=10
Hope this helps :D
Yes
16/4 is 4
8/2 is 4 as well
Making them equivalent
