Answer:

height of the man is ≈ 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

shadow of the man/ shadow of the tree = height of the man/ height of the tree

4/11 = x/18 cross multiply

11x = 4(18)

11x = 72

x = 6.5

Samantha bought 26 total fish. Each goldfish cost $3 and each guppy costs $4. She spent $86 total. How many guppies did she buy?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

goldfish is 15 and guppies is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of goldfish be x

and the number of guppies be y

so

x+y= 25----------1

and

3x+4y= 86-------2

solve 1 and 2

x+y= 25

3x+4y= 86

from 1

x= 25-y

put this in 2

3(25-y)+4y= 86

75-3y+4y= 86

75+y= 86

y= 86-75

y=11

put y= 11 in 1

x+11= 26

x= 26-11

x= 15

Hence goldfish is 15 and guppies is 11
