Answer:
x = 9
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Let :
Kenyan French roast coffee = x
Cost per x = $8
Sumatran Coffee = y
Cost per y = $10
x + y = 18 - - - - (1)
8x + 10y = 9 * 18 ;
8x + 10y = 162 - - - - (2)
From (1):
x = 18 - y
Put x = 18 - y in (2)
8(18 - y) + 10y = 162
144 - 8y + 10y = 162
2y = 162 - 144
2y = 18
y = 9
x = 18 - y
x = 18 - 9
x = 9
Answer:
All the fields will be harvested in 6.25 days
Step-by-step explanation:
because 75 ÷ 12 and 62.5 ÷ 12 is 6.25
let x = orginal price of the shorts
$21 = x(100%-20%) * 1.05
$21 = x(80%) * 1.05
$21 = 0.8x * 1.05
Subtract 1.05 from both sides
$19.95 = 0.8x
Divide 0.8 from both sides
$24.9375 = x
So the orginal price of the shorts are about $24.94
