What two equations can be written from this word problem?

Question

To fill Katja's pinata, her father used Choco-Giggles and Fruity Scooters. Each Choco-Giggles cocts $0.25 and each Fruity Scooter cots $0.30. If he paid $73 for all $264 pieces of candy, how many of each type did he use?

Answer 1

we can use C to represent the number of choco-giggles and F to represent the number of fruity scooters

We know that C are .25 each and F are .30 each. If he paid $73 for all then .25C + .30F=73
We also know that C+F=264 (i'm assuming you didn't mean to put the $ there)
So if C+F=264 then C=264-F

So then you can substitute that into your money equation:
Instead of .25C + .30F=73 use what you got C=264-F instead of C: .25(264-F) + .30F = 73

you can solve for F from that, then subtract your F value from 264 to get C

Answer 2

If you think about this problem in terms of x's and y's you end up with an equation looking like this

0.25x + 0.3y = 73 (1)

and we are given that all the lollies added up = 264
x + y = 264 (2)

So from (2) we can change the equation to be x in terms of y (you can do y in terms of x it doesn't matter)

so (2) becomes x =

so we sub that into (1) and get

0.25*(264 - y) + 0.3y = 73
66 -.25y+0.3y=73
0.05y = 7
y = 7 / 0.05
y = 140
so sub that into (2) and you get x = 124

x = Choco-Giggles = 124
y = Fruity Scooter = 140

Answer 3

choco-giggles: x
fruity scooters: y

0.25x + .30y = 73
x + y = 264

Answer 4

If I understand you wisely, there are 2 floor plans disbursed for the time of fifty six residences. There are three times as many residences for plan A as there are for plan B. A=3*B So, the definitely formula may be (3*B) + B = fifty six or 4B = fifty six B= 14 A= 40 two

Answer 5

maybe

a-scooters b-giggles

264= a + b
73= .25a +.30 b

Answer 6

0.25*C+0.3*F=73
C+F=264
