Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
Answer:
glasses of milk=4
quatar pounds servings of meat =5
two slices of whole grains bread =8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m= milk
r=meat
b=bread
0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)
8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)
m+20r+12b=200 (3)
Multiply (1) by 85 and (2) by 1
8.5m+289r+187b=2,975 (4)
8.5m+22r+10b=224 (5)
Subtract (5) from (4)
267r+177b=2,751 (6)
Recall,
8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)
m+20r+12b=200 (3)
Multiply (2) by 1 and (3) by 8.5
8.5m+22r+10b=224 (7)
8.5m+170r+102b=1700 (8)
Subtract (7) from (8)
148r+92b=1,476 (9)
Recall,
267r+177b=2,751 (6) and
148r+92b=1,476 (9)
Multiply (6) by 148 and (9) by 267
26196b=407,148 (10)
24564b=394,092 (11)
Subtract (11) from (10)
1,632b=13,056
Divide both sides by 1,632
b=13,056/1,632
b=8
Substitute the value of b in (9)
148r+92b=1,476 (9)
148r+92(8)=1,476
148r+736=1,476
148r=1,476-736
148r=740
Divide both sides by 148
r=740/148
r= 5
Substitute the value of b and r in (1)
0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)
0.1m+3.4(5)+2.2(8)=35
0.1m+17+17.6=35
0.1m+34.6=35
0.1m=35-34.6
0.1m=0.4
Divide both sides by 0.1
m=0.4/0.1
m=4
4 glasses of milk, 5 quatar pounds servings of meat and 8 two slices of whole grains bread will supply the required nutrients.
Answer:
0.34
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
34 / 100 = 0.34
0.34 is the decimal form of the fraction 34 / 100.
Direction: Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
