Latanya buys 5 yards of blue fabric and 8 yards of green fabric. the blue fabric costs $2 more per yard than the green fabric. she pays a total of $62. what would be the combined cost of 1 yard of blue fabric and 1 yard of green fabric?

The combined cost of 1 yard of blue fabric and 1 yard of green fabric is $ 10

Solution:

Let "b" be the cost of 1 yard of blue fabric

Let "g" be the cost of 1 yard of green fabric

Given that Latanya buys 5 yards of blue fabric and 8 yards of green fabric

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

5 x cost of 1 yard of blue fabric + 8 x cost of 1 yard of green fabric = 62

5b + 8g = 62 --------- eqn 1

Also given that The blue fabric costs $2 more per yard than the green fabric

cost of 1 yard of blue fabric = 2 + cost of 1 yard of green fabric

b = 2 + g ---------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

5 ( 2 + g ) + 8g = 62

10 + 5g + 8g = 62

10 + 13g = 62

13g = 52

From eqn 2,

b = 2 + g = 2 + 4 = 6

combined cost = b + g = 6 + 4 = 10

Thus combined cost of 1 yard of blue fabric and 1 yard of green fabric is $ 10

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
