Answer:

Lisa can buy 5 pounds of tomatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lisa has $ 7.80 to spend on some tomatoes and a loaf of bread, and tomatoes cost $ 1.20 per pound, and a loaf of bread costs $ 1.80, to determine how many pounds of tomatoes she can buy, the following calculation must be performed:

1.20X + 1.80 = 7.80

1.20X = 7.80 - 1.80

X = 6 / 1.20

X = 5

So Lisa can buy 5 pounds of tomatoes.

Answer: 16 double rooms and 10 single rooms were rented.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of double rooms that were rented.

Let y represent the number of single rooms that were rented.

The total number of rooms rented in a day is 26. It means that

x + y = 26

A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $26 per day. If all the rooms that were rented for one day cost a total of $804, it means that

34x + 26y = 804 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

34(26 - y) + 26y = 804

884 - 34y + 26y = 804

- 34y + 26y = 804 - 884

- 8y = - 80

y = - 80/ - 8 = 10

x = 26 - y = 26 - 10

x = 16
