Answer:
Step 2 contains error in the given problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is:
Step 1: identifying the LCM.
The LCM identified is 6.
This step is correct.
In the next step, we multiply the LCM with each term of the equation.
Step 2:
However,
In the given solution, the LCM is not multiplied with each term.
Hence,
Step 2 contains error in the given problem.
<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>
A fruitseller bought 50kg of the fruits. He sold 30kg of fruits for the cost price of 35kg of fruits and he sold the remaining quantity for the cost Price of 18kg of fruits. calculate his profit or loss percent in the total transaction.
<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>
let the cost price be 50x
→he sells 30kg of fruits on it's CP of 35 kg
→CP of 30kg fruits = 30x
→SP of 35kg fruits = 35x
→remaing fruits are 20kg
→he sells 20kg of fruits on CP of 16kg
→CP of 20kg fruits = 20x
→SP of 20kg fruits = 16x
→total CP is = 50x
→total SP is = (35 + 16) = 51x
→SP > CP (it means profit)
→profit = SP-CP
→ 51-50
→ 1
<h2 /><h2><u>Now,</u></h2>
→ Profit% = gain/CP × 100
→ Profit% = 1/50 × 100
→ 2%
Hence the fruit seller had a profit% of 2%.
start by plugging in the value you already have, in this case, 5 for y.
-4x-3(5)=17
-4x-15=17
-4x=32
x=-8
however, since a is a+1, a would be 7 (making x 8)
also plz tell me if i read this wrong and it’s actually 1,5 rather than a+1 and 5 cause if i did i’m so sorry lol.
Answer:cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let cost of apples = x
And cost of Oranges =y
Let 6 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of oranges cost 24 dollars be represented as
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
Also, Let 5 pounds of apples and 4 pounds of oranges cost 23 dollars be represented as
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Step 2
6 x + 3y= 24----- equation 1
5x+ 4y= 23----- equation 2
Using substitution method to solve the equation
6 x + 3y= 24
24-6x=3y
y= 24-6x/3 = 8-2x
Y= 8-2x
Substituting the value of y= 8-2x into equation 2
5x+ 4( 8-2x)= 23
5x+ 32 -8x= 23
32-23= 8x-5x
9=3x
x=9/3
x=3
Putting the value of x= 3 in equation 1 and solving to find y
6 x + 3y= 24
6(3) +3y= 24
18+3y=24
3y= 24-18
3y=6
y=6/3= 2
Therefore the cost of each pound of apple= $3
And cost of each pound of orange =$2
