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
I believe its already in standard form so you would just add it
You multiply both equations by a factor to get them to have the same X coefficient, the first by 5 and the second by 2, you get 10x-15y=5 and 10x+8y=28. Then you subtract the equations to get 23y=23, y=1, plug y into first equaition, x=2. Answer is (2,1)
The answer would be 9. Because, you put 9 in each row adding up to 18 but it would still be a rectangle.
Hope this helps! :)
What i think the answer is 6.66 because u multiply 1/3 by 20
