X= cost per cherry pie
y= cost per pumpkin pie

NICOLE
1x + 9y= $60

LISA
11x + 4y= $90


STEP 1
multiply Nicole's equation by -11

-11(1x + 9y)= -11($60)
multiply -11 by all terms

(-11 * x) + (-11 * 9y)= (-11 * 60)

-11x - 99y= -660


STEP 2
add Nicole's new equation from step 1 to Lisa's equation to solve for y (using the elimination method)

-11x - 99y= -660
11x + 4y= 90
the x terms "cancel out"

-95y= -570
divide both sides by -95

y= $6 per pumpkin pie


STEP 3
substitute y value into either original equation to solve for x

x + 9y= $60

x + 9(6)= 60

x + 54= 60
subtract 54 from both sides

x= $6 per cherry pie


CHECK
11x + 4y= $90
11(6) + 4(6)= 90
66 + 24= 90
90= 90


ANSWER: Each cherry pie costs $6 and each pumpkin pie costs $6.

Hope this helps! :)

One canned juice drink is 20% orange juice, another is 5% orange juice, how many liters of each should be mixed together in orde
gavmur [86]

Answer:

11 L of 20% juice and 4 L of 5% juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x L = amount of 20% juice

y L = amount of 5% juice

<u>20% juice:</u>

Amount = x L

Amount of juice =0.2x L

<u>5% juice:</u>

Amount = y L

Amount of juice =0.05y L

<u>16% juice:</u>

Amount = 15 L

Amount of juice =0.16\cdot 15=2.4 L

We mixed x L of 20% juice with y L of 5% juice to get 15 L of 16% juice, so

x+y=15

and

0.2x+0.05y=2.4

From the first equation:

x=15-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

0.2(15-y)+0.05y=2.4\\ \\20(15-y)+5y=240\\ \\300-20y+5y=240\\ \\-20y+5y=240-300\\ \\-15y=-60\\ \\15y=60\\ \\y=4\ L\\ \\x=15-4=11\ L
