A system of equations that can be used to find the number of packages of Brand X hot dog buns and Brand Y hot dog buns that Christopher buys is:

12x + 8y = 120  

4.5x + 3.5y = 49.50.

The number of packages of Brand X bought is 4 and the number of packages of Brand Y bought is 9

The following equations can be derived from the question

12x + 8y = 120  equation 1

4.5x + 3.5y = 49.50 equation 2

x represents the number of packages of Brand X

y represents the number of packages of Brand Y

The elimination method would be used to determine the values of x and y

Multiply equation 1 by 4.5 and equation 2 by 12

54x + 36y = 540 equation 3

54x + 42y = 594 equation 4

 Subtract equation 3 from 4

6y = 54  

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

y = 9

Substitute for y in equation 1

12x + 8(9) = 120

12x + 72 = 120

12x = 48

x = 4

If the revenue for the week is $2000 and the labor cost consists of two workers earning eight dollars per hour who work 40 hours
arsen [322]
To find the cost of labor for one worker, you multiply the wage by the number of hours worked. 

40 * 8 = 320

Because there are two workers, now you double it. 

320 * 2 = 640

To find the percentage of the revenue that this is, you do the labor cost divided by the revenue. 

640 / 2000 = 0.32

Move the decimal two places to the right to get the percentage. 

0.32 = 32%

The labor cost is 32% of the revenue.
