Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p. He wants to make £75 at the end of the year. How many packs of apples does he need to sell. Explain why you got the answer.

937.5 packs of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

100p = £1

80p = x

Cross Multiply

100x = 80p × £1

x = 80/100

x = £0.8

Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p.

Hence:

£0.8 = 10 packs of apples

£75 = x

Cross Multiply

£0.8 × x = £75 × 10 Packs

x = £75 × 10 Packs/£0.8

x = 937.5

Therefore, to make £75 at the end of the year, he has to sell 937.5 packs of apples

b. the decimal could be two-tenths.

step-by-step explanation:

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
