BRAINLIEST IF RIGHT Trevon's Custom Kitchen Supplies sells handmade forks and spoons. It costs the store $1.80 to buy the supplies to make a fork and $1.40 to buy the supplies to make a spoon. The store sells forks for $4.60 and spoons for $5.40. Last April Trevon's Custom Kitchen Supplies spent $24.60 on materials for forks and spoons. They sold the finished products for a total of $73.80. How many forks and how many spoons did they make last April? A. 8 forks and 10 spoons B. 8 forks and 8 spoons C. 9 forks and 9 spoons D. 9 forks and 6 spoons

D. 9 forks and 6 spoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate how many forks and spoons were made.  We need to guess a pair of variable values that will add up to $24.60.  We'll do this by substituting all the possible pairs in:

Here's the pair for A:

[($1.80 * a) + ($1.40 * b)]

= [($1.80 * 8) + ($1.40 * 10)]

= [$14.40 + $14]

= $28.40

Is $28.40 equal to $24.60? No, this is not correct.

Here's the pair for B:

[($1.80 * a) + ($1.40 * b)]

= [($1.80 * 8) + ($1.40 * 8)]

= [$14.40 + $10.80]

= $25.20

Is $25.20 equal to $24.60? No, this is not correct.

Here's the pair for C:

[($1.80 * a) + ($1.40 * b)]

= [($1.80 * 9) + ($1.40 * 9)]

= [$16.20 + $12.60]

= $28.80

Is $28.80 equal to $24.60? No, this is not correct.

Here's the pair for D:

[($1.80 * a) + ($1.40 * b)]

= [($1.80 * 9) + ($1.40 * 6)]

= [$16.20 + $8.40]

= $24.60

Is $24.60 equal to $24.60? Yes, this is correct.

Therefore, we know the answer is (D) 9 forks and 6 spoons

We can also check by substituting these values to find the amount Trevon's Custom Kitchen Supplies earned last April:

[($4.60 * a) + ($5.40 * b)]

= [($4.60 * 9) + ($5.40 * 6)]

= [$41.40 + $32.40]

= $73.80

This is equal to the amount of money earned last April.

I hope this helps! Tell me if I'm wrong, please!

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
