Initial condition:
g+d=700
g=700-d
final condition
d+20=(2g/3)(1/6)
d+20=g/9
9d+180=g, and since g=700-d we can say
9d+180=700-d
10d+180=700
10d=520
d=52, and since g=700-d
g=648
The original number of ducks was 52 and the original amount of geese was 648.
So there were originally (648-52) 596 more geese than ducks.
Answer:
76 balls and 24 bats
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a system of equations where x is the number of balls and y is the number of bats:
x + y = 100
4.5x + 20y = 822
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -20, then combine the equations together:
-20x - 20y = -2000
4.5x + 20y = 822
-15.5x = -1178
x = 76
Then, plug in 76 as x in the first equation to solve for y:
x + y = 100
76 + y = 100
y = 24
So, 76 balls and 24 bats were purchased.
