Answer: 60 cappuccinos were sold.

Explanation:
x = number of lattes sold
y = number of cappuccinos sold

Two equations can be set up:
x + y = 78
4x + 3y = 252

The first equation can be rearranged and substituted into the other equation to find the value of a variable.

y = 78 - x
4x + 3(78 - x) = 252
4x + 234 - 3x = 252
x + 234 = 252
x = 18

To find y, the value of x can be substituted into either equation.

x + y = 78
18 + y = 78
y = 60

To check answers, substitute both values into the original equations and make sure they work.

x + y = 78
18 + 60 = 78
78 = 78

4x + 3y = 252
4(18) + 3(60) = 252
72 + 180 = 252
252 = 252

Due to length restrictions, we kindly invite to read the explanation of this question to learn more on power properties.

<h3>How to understand power properties</h3>

Herein we must explain some properties of power expressions with integer exponents. A power of the form aᵇ is a product of the form a × a ×  a × a × ... × a, where a is repeated b times. a and b are the base and the exponent of the power.

First, we proceed to demonstrate that a⁰ = a:

a⁰            Given

a¹ ⁻ ¹        Existence of the additive inverse / Modulative property

a¹ · a⁻¹     Multiplication of powers of equal base

a¹ · (a¹)⁻¹   Power of a power / (- a) · b = - a · b

1               Existence of multiplicative inverse / Modulative property / Result

By definition of power, we find that a¹ as a is only only time.

14=2y/5 and explain how you got it??
son4ous [18]

2y/5 is the same thing as 2/5 times y so

14=2/5(y) then you divide both sides by y and you get

14/y=2/5 then from there multiply both sides by 1/14 to get

y=0.03
