The complete question in the attached figure
Let
Z---------------- > number of zacks stamps collections <span>for a stamp show
</span>T---------------- > number of teri's stamps collections <span>for a stamp show
</span>P--------------- > number of pacos stamps collections for a stamp show
we know that
Z=(3/10)*30-----------> Z=9
T=(5/6)*18------------ > T=15
P=(3/8)*24------------->P=9
the answer is
number of zacks stamps collections for a stamp show was 9
number of teri's stamps collections for a stamp show was 15
number of pacos stamps collections <span>for a stamp show </span>was 9
In their display were 33 stamps
Answer:
A salad costs $2.50
A sandwich costs $4.50
A drink costs $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.
Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:
3x + 2y + z = 17.75 (1)
Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:
x + y + 3z = 10.75 (2)
Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:
x = 2z (3)
Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:
-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50
3x + 2y + z = 17.75
→ x - 5z = -3.75
Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:
2z - 5z = -3.75
-3z = -3.75
z = 1.25
x = 2z → x = 2.50
x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50
One can be 7/2 ...................
28 - 2.2x = 11.6x - 54.8
28 + 54.8 = 11.6x + 2.2x
82.8 = 13.8x
82.8 / 13.8 = x
6 = x
or x = 6
