Levi Jeans Company at the Silverthorne, Colorado Outlet store sells bootcut jeans for $40 and straight leg jeans for $60. If customer’s bought 5 times more bootcut than straight leg jeans and last month’s sales totaled $6,500, how many of each pair of jeans were sold?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: okay so we know the ratio of jeans sold is 5/1 so lets put that into an equation.

6,500 = $40(5*x) + $60(1*x) so lets solve for x.

so lets merge 40(5x) + 60(x) = 260(x)
6,500 = 260(x)

Divide both sides by 260. 6,500/260 = (260(x))/260 = 25

so lets plug it in. 6,500 = 40(5*25) + 60(1*25) = 5,000 + 1,500 = 6,500.

So the answer is 25!

Answer 2

Answer: Write down the equations you know!

40x + 60y = 6500
x = 5y

x = bootcut jeans
y = straight leg jeans

Replace 'x' with it's equation, then solve for y.

40(5y) + 60y = 6500
200y + 60y = 6500
260y = 6500
y = 25

Now plug that back into one of the original equations:

x = 5y
x = 5(25)
x = 125

125 = bootcut jeans
25 = straight leg jeans

Solve the following inequality for k. Write your answer in simplest form.4k + 2(3k + 8) <3k + 10 – 8

Answers

Answer:

k < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write inequality

4k + 2(3k + 8) < 3k + 10 - 8

Step 2: Solve for k

Distribute: 4k + 6k + 16 < 3k + 10 - 8
Combine like terms: 10k + 16 < 3k + 2
Subtract 3k on both sides: 7k + 16 < 2
Subtract 16 on both sides: 7k < -14
Divide both sides by 7: k < -2

Answer:

10k+16<3k+2

10k-3k+16<2

7k<2-16

k<-2
