Jacob and Zachary go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Jacobspends a total of $18.25 on two bags of popcorn and three drinks. Zachary spends a total of $27.50
for four bags of popcorn and two drinks.
Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price
of one drink.
Using these equations, determine and state the price of a bag of popcorn and the price of a drink,
to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: ok lets say
popcorn = x and
drinks = y

Jacob:      2x + 3y = 18.25
Zachary:   4x + 2y = 27.50

ok now you have to use these 2 equations to get the answer

4x + 2y = 27.50  --->   2y = 27.50 - 4x   --->  y = 13.75 - 2x

2x + 3y = 18.25
2x + 3(13.75-2x) = 18.25
2x + 41.25 - 6x = 18.25
-4x + 41.25 = 18.25
-4x = -23
x = 5.75             One bag of popcorn is $5.75


4x + 2y = 27.50
4(5.75) + 2y = 27.50
23 + 2y = 27.50
2y = 4.50
y = 2.25             One drink is $2.25

The ratio of men to women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. There are 222 men. How many workers are there?

Answers

The ratio of men to women in a certain factory = 3:4
The total number of men in the factory = 222
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
3x = 222
x = 222/3
  = 74
Then
The total number of women workers in the factory = 4 * 74
                                                                                 = 296
So
The total number of workers in the factory = 296 + 222
                                                                    = 518
From the above deduction we can easily conclude that there are a total of 518 workers in the factory.

Johanna is mixing red and blue paint to make purple paint for her bedroom. the amount of red paint and blue paint she needs is directly proportional to each other. if she uses three pints of blue paint and five pints of red paint, it makes the perfect shade of purple to match her bed comforter. johanna wants to make one more batch of purple paint in the exact same shade. if she only has 15 pints of red paint left, how much blue paint does she need?

Answers

3blue/5red=xblue/15red
3 blue x 3=9 blue
5 red x 3= 15 red
so she will need 9 pints of blue paint.
