Answer:

Cost of five blouses = $145

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = cost of blouse

y = cost of skirt

15x + 2y = 505 (1)

5x + 2y = 215 (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate y

15x - 5x = 505 - 215

10x = 290

x = 290/10

x = 29

Substitute x = 29 into (2)

5x + 2y = 215 (2)

5(29) + 2y = 215

145 + 2y = 215

2y = 215 - 145

2y = 70

y = 70/2

y = 35

x = cost of blouse = $29

y = cost of skirt = $35

How much do 5 such blouses cost?

cost of a blouse = $29

Cost of five blouses = $29 × 5

= $145

Cost of five blouses = $145

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

240 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

Step one

find the real scale

According to the data

scale is 1 in : 2 ft

also remember  1ft=12 inches

so

scale is 1in: 2(12 inches)

scale is 1 in :24 in

the purpose of use inches a unit in both sides is to eliminate the, the scale must be adimensional

so escales is

1:24  , this means, that a measure on the blueprint must be multiplied by 24 to know its real value

Step 2

with the escale find the real dimensions, you can use a rule of three

Abraham's bedroom is 6 inches wide

blueprint ⇔ bedroom

1 in ⇔ 24 in

6 in ⇔x

x=(6*24)/1

x=144 inches=12 ft

 Abraham's bedroom is  10 inches long

1 in ⇔ 24 in

10 in ⇔y

y=(10*24)/1

x=240 inches=20 ft

Step  3

find the area

the area is wide *long

area=x*y

area=12ft*20ft

area=240 square feet.

Have a good day
