Answer:

There are 18 pigs and 12 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

p = # of pigs

c = # of chickens

I'm assuming each animal has one head and all the pigs have 4 legs and all the chickens have 2 legs, therefore:

p+c = 30

4p+2c = 84

Elimination:

-2(p+c = 30)        -2p -2c = -60

4p +2c = 84         4p +2c = 84

                            2p    =     24

                               p    =    12

Now substitute p for 12:

12 + c = 30

c      =    18

Check:

4(12) + 2(18) = 84

48     + 36    = 84

84 = 84

There are 18 chickens and 12 pigs.

A syrup manufacturer has some pure maple syrup and some which is 85%
Nostrana [21]

The required number of litres of pure and 85% maple syrup required to produce 150 litres of 96% maple syrup is 40 litres and 110 litres respectively.

Let :

Amount of pure (100%) maple syrup = a

Amount of 85% map’e syrup = b

Creating a system of equation :

  • a + b = 150 - - - (1)
  • 100%a + 85%b = 96% × 150
  • a + 0.85b = 144 - - - - (2)

From (1)

  • a = 150 - b

Substitute a = 150 - b into (2)

  • 150 - b + 0.85b = 144
  • -0.15b = 144 - 150
  • -0.15b = - 6
  • b = 40

From (1)

  • a = 150 - b
  • a = 150 - 40
  • a = 110

Therefore, 40 litres of pure maple syrup and 110 litres of 85% maple syrup will be used.
