Answer:
$82 sundaes
$74 banana split
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one :
Given data
Cost of sundaes =$2 each
Cost of banana split =$3 each
Let the number of sundaes bought be x
And the number of banana split bought be y
The total is x+y
The shop sold 8 more Sundaes than the Banana split
x=8+y—-------1
Total amount made = $156
Therefore the system of equation for the situation is
x=8+y----—----------1
2x+3y=156---------2
But x=8+y
8+y+y=156
8+2y=156
2y=156-8
2y=148
Divide both sides by 2
y=148/2
y=74
On That day they sold $74 banana split
And also they sold x=8+74=$82 sundaes
Answer:
m=7
Step-by-step explanation:
1 blue jar = 21 marbles
1 blue jar = 3 red jars
Therefor
21 marbles= 3 red jars
(Now let m=1 red jar)
21= 3m
(Then sine we have 3m dived both sides by 3 to isolate the m)
21/3= 3m/3
7=m
