They rented out 5 self-propelled mowers and 20 riding mowers.

Data;

  • Total number of tool rented out = 25
  • Cost of tools rented = $900

<h3>System of Equations</h3>

To solve this problem, we have to write a system of equations to represent the problem.

since we have

  • x = self - propelled mower
  • y = riding mowers

Let's write equations with these variables.

x+y = 25...equation (i)\\20x+40y = 900...equation(ii)

From equation (i)

x+y= 25\\x = 25 - y...equation(iii)

Put equation (iii) into equation (ii)

20x+40y=900\\x = 25-y\\20(25-y)+40y=900\\\\500-20y+40y=900\\500+20y=900\\20y=900-500\\20y=400\\\frac{20y}{20}=\frac{400}{20}\\ y=20

Let's substitute the value of y into equation(i)

x+y =25\\x+20 = 25\\x = 25 - 20\\x = 5

From the calculations above, they rented 5 self-propelled mowers and 20 riding mowers.
