Answer:
<u>30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>x•4%+y•8%=40•5% </h3>
<em><u>4x+8y=40•5 and x+y=40</u></em>
x=40-y
4(40-y)+8y=200
160-4y+8y=200
4y=200-160
4y=40 => y=10 (gallons solution 8%)
=> x=40-10=30 (gallons solution 4%)
30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%
(-1,1)
This is because the solution is the point where the two lines meet.
You could use many methods to find the answer to this problem, but I am going to use the most efficient one I know.
18f+15(4f)=156
F is for fins. We should now solve the equation.
18f+60f=156
78f=156
156÷78=2
So fins cost 2 dollars. Now, we know snorkels cost four times the amount of fins. Four times 2 is eight. So the snorkels cost $8 to rent. Let's check our math.
15(8) + 18(2)
120+36=156
So it cost $8 to rent a snorkel.
