Barry buys 200 pieces of stationery for £76.
Of the 200 pieces of stationery, x of them are rulers that cost 50p each and y of
them are pens that cost 20p each.
Find how many rulers Barry buys and how many pens he buys.

Answers

Answer 1

First, we take the first given information: 200 pieces = £76. Since the other unknowns are expressed in pence "p", we convert this amount to "p" = 76 x 100 = 7600p.

The information on "x" and "y" gives us 2 equations:

first:

x pieces + y pieces = 200 pieces (or x + y = 200)

placing "x" in terms of "y" gives us x = 200 - y

in terms of "y": y = 200 - x

50p(x) + 20p(y) = 7600p (or 50x + 20y = 7600)

solving for "x" gives:

x = (7600 - 20y) / 50

substituting y from our first equation gives:

x = (7600 - 20(200 - x)) / 50

x = (7600 - 4000 + 20x) / 50 (distribute - remember to distribute the negative sign)

x = (3600 + 20x) / 50 (simplify)

x = 360/5 + (2/5)x (subtract (2/5)x from both sides)

(3/5)x = 360/5

3x = 360

x = 120 (rulers bought)

substituting into our first equation:

y = 80 (pens bought)

check our solution using the second equation:

50x + 20y = 7600

50(120) + 20(80) = 7600

6000 + 1600 = 7600 (correct)

therefore:

x = 120 rulers Barry bought

y = 80 pens Barry bought

Answer 2

The number of rulers is 120 and the number of pens are 80 in number, bought by Barry.

What is an arithmetic operation?

The four fundamental operations of arithmetic are addition, subtract, multiply, and division of two or more numbers. Included in them is the study of integers, especially the order of operations, which is important for all other aspects of mathematics, notably algebra, information management, and geometry.

x + y = 200 pieces

x = 200 - y  (i)

y = 200 - x  (ii)

50(x) + 20(y) = 7600p

Solve the equation for x,

x = (7600 - 20y) / 50

Substitute y from the equation,

x = (7600 - 20 (200 - x)) / 50

x = (7600 - 4000 + 20x) / 50

x = (3600 + 20x) / 50

x = 360/5 + (2/5)x

(3/5)x = 360/5

3x = 360

x = 120 is the number of scales.

Substitute the value of x in the first equation,

y = 80 is the number of pens.

2550.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a circle and are asked to find the area.

We know the diameter already, but the formula to find area requires a raidus, which is unknown to us yet.

To find radius, all you need to do is follow [tex]\frac{d}{2}[/tex]. D being diameter.

D = 57.

[tex]\frac{57}{2}= 28.5[/tex]

The radius is 28.5, now do the formula of area.

[tex]A = \pi *r^2[/tex]

[tex]A = \pi *28.5^2[/tex]

[tex]28.5^2[/tex]

[tex]812.25[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi *812.25[/tex]

[tex]A=3.14 * 812.25[/tex]

[tex]A = 2550.465[/tex]

Now we need to round to the nearest tenths, since 6 is the knowledge that we round up, round up.

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify: x-(1/2x+4)=8

Isolate x for 1/2x-4=8

Add 4 to both sides:

1/2-4+4=8+4

Simplify :1/2=12

Multiply both sides by 2:

2*1/2x=12*2

Simplify:

x=24

Substitute x=24:

y=1/2*24+4

1/2*24+4=16

1/2*24=12

12+4

Add the numbers: 12+4=16

y=16

Why is it important to understand how variables work, inequalities, and basic awareness of exponents before starting algebra?

Answers

Answer:

It is important because they are the basics of algebra. Almost every algebraic problem you will ever solve is based on these fundamental properties. In equations, we almost never know every part of it so we will need variables to substitute the unknown amount in an equation. Variables are used for basically every equation/problem in algebra. Inequalities are not as important as variables but are still really important. Inequalities are basically comparing numbers. And in algebra when they add variables into an inequality, the inequality will help lower the number of possible values of said variable. And exponents are just a basic operation in algebra. Just like learning addition and subtraction. It is like a quicker and less complicated way of multiplying numbers.
