At a fabric store, fabrics are sold by the yard. A dressmaker spent $36.35 on 4.25 yards of silk and cotton fabrics for a dress.

Silk is $16.90 per yard and cotton is $4 per yard.
Let 'x' represent the number of yards of silk and 'y' represent the number of yards of cotton.
Here is a system of equations that represent the constraints in the situation.
x+y=4.25
16.90x+4y=36.35
Find the solution to the system of equations. You may use any method you want, but you must explain your reasoning and methods fully.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The yards of silk bought is  1.49 yards and the yard of cotton bought is 2.76 yards.

The two equations are known as simultaneous equation. They would be solved using elimination method.

x + y  = 4.25 equation 1

16.90x + 4y = 36.25 equation 2

where:

x = yards of silk bought

y = yards of cotton bought

In order to determine the value of x, multiply equation 1 by 4.

4x + 4y = 17 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

19.25 = 12.90x

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.90

x = 1.49 yards

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The yards of silk bought is  1.49 yards and the yard of cotton bought is 2.76 yards.

The two equations are known as simultaneous equation. They would be solved using elimination method.

x + y  = 4.25 equation 1

16.90x + 4y = 36.25 equation 2

where:

x = yards of silk bought

y = yards of cotton bought

In order to determine the value of x, multiply equation 1 by 4.

4x + 4y = 17 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

19.25 = 12.90x

Divide both sides of the equation by 12.90

x = 1.49 yards

In order to determine the value of y, substitute for x in equation 1

1.49 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.49

y = 2.76 yards

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

  • <em>D. The game is not fair because the probability of Hal drawing a winning letter is less then the probability of Renee drawing a winning letter </em>

Explanation:

The word is not probably, which has 8 letters, but probability, which has 11 letters

<u>1. Hal</u>

Probability of drawing a vowel

  • The vowels are:  o, a, i, i, and y: 5

  • The total number of letters in the bag is 11.

  • Probability of vowel = 5 / 11

<u>2. Renee</u>

Probability of drawing a consonant

  • The consonants are: p, r, b, b, l, t, and y: 7

  • Probability of a drawing a consonant: 7 /11

<h2>Conclusion</h2>

As you see, the probability of drawing a vowel (5/11), which is the winning letter for Hal, is less than the probability of drawing a consonant (7/11), which is the winning letter of Renee. Then,

  • The game is not fair because the probability of Hal drawing a winning letter is less then the probability of Renee drawing a winning letter.

Selling Price is $2,640 and the Loss is $196. Find the Cost Price.​
myrzilka [38]
If I am correct, it should be $2,736.


if this is a re-sell, then you would have to add the loss to the selling price to get the original cost.

loss means how much was lost in profit, so whenever you see that make sure to add it to whatever is applicable, like in this case, $2,640.
