Alocal boys club sold 196 bags of mulch and made a total of $355. it sold two types of mulch: hardwood for $2.00 a bag and pine bark for $1.75 a bag. how many bags of each kind of mulch did it sell? will mark brainliest

Hardwood = 48 bags,

Bag and Pine = 148 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of bags of hardwood be x and for pine be y

2x+1.75y=355equation1

x+y=196 ---equation2

rewrite equation2 as y=196-x

substitute to equation1 = 2x+1.75(196-x)=355

simplify to get x = 48

from equation 2, y=196-x

y=196-48 = 148

Therefore

Hardwood = 48 bags,

Bag and Pine = 148 bags

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
