Answer:
The number sold at $12.50 is 25
The number sold at $9.50 is 62
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:
x 12.50 + y 9.50=901.50
x+y= 87
Where
x= number of pottery pieces sold
y= number of pottery pieces sold at a decreased price
Multiplying the second equation by 9.50, and subtracting the second equation to the first equation:
12.50 x + 9.50y = 901.50
-
9.50 x+ 9.50 y= 826.5
__________________
3 x = 75
Solving for x
x =75/3
x = 25
Replacing x=25 on any equation:
x+y= 87
25+y =87
y=87-25
y= 62
Baby hippo’s current born weights is 2200. Adult hippos can weight up to 5300 pounds. To find how much more the baby hippo can gain, subtract bith numbers.
W=2200-5300.
7/10 because it equals 70 percent
