Equation is 4b + 5m = €10.90, and values of b and m are €1.35 and €1.1 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find equation for Thursday's sales.
Given b = price of a loaf of bread and m = price of one liter of milk
Total sales = €10.90
Equation ⇒ 4b + 5m = €10.90
- Step 2: Find the values of b and m.
3b + 2m = 6.25 ----- (1)
4b + 5m = 10.90 ---- (2)
Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 to make coefficients of m equal.
15b + 10m = 31.25
8b + 10m = 21.8
Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)
⇒ 7b = 9.45
⇒ b = 9.45/7 = €1.35
Substitute for b and find m using eq(1).
⇒ 3 × 1.35 + 2m = 6.25
⇒ 4.05 + 2m = 6.25
⇒ 2m = 2.2
∴∴ m = 2.2/2 = €1.1
Given:
Number of students = 35
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys.
To find:
The number of students in the club that are boys.
Solution:
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys. It means, the ratio of boys to the total number of student is 2:5.
Let the number of boys be 2x and number of students be 5x.
According to the question,


Now, the number of boys is


Therefore, 14 students in the club are boys.
