Answer:
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the amount of Drink A and b = the amount of Drink B
Multiplying a number by 0.2 is the same as calculating 20% of it and same goes with 15% and 0.15. This makes our equation for the amount of fruit juice:
0.2a + 0.15b = 100.5
We know what the difference between a and b will be 30 liters so:
a - b = 30
Now we have our system of equations
To cancel out a, we can multiply the first equation by -5 so we will now have:
-a - 0.75b = -502.5
a - b = 30
Adding these two equations together, we get:
-1.75b = -472.5
Both sides are negative, so we can take the negative signs away.
1.75b = 472.5
Now divide both sides by 1.75
b = 270
Plugging 270 into b, we have:
a - b = 30
a - 270 = 30
Add 270 to both sides
a = 300
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
Answer:
3 3/5 =x
3 .6 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
6/5 = x/3
Use cross products
6*3 = 5*x
18 = 5x
Divide each side by 5
18/5 = 5x/5
18/5 =x
3 3/5 =x
Answer:
x = 2, y = 9 or (2,9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The first equation "y = 5x - 1" is telling us that y is equal to 5x - 1
We can plug in the first equation into the second like this:
2x + y = 13 (we know y so we can plug it in)
2x + (5x - 1) = 13
2x + 5x - 1 = 13
7x - 1 = 13
Now we add 1 to both sides
7x - 1 + 1 = 13 + 1
7x = 14
x = 2
Now we plug in x to find y:
y = 5x - 1
y = 5(2) - 1
y = 10 - 1
y = 9
Well, the first one is 2/40=1/20. The 2nd one is 1/39. You multiply these to get 1/780.
182.5 + 50 = 232.5. 267.5 was spent
