Immensely confusing...?
I've got an answer... it seems not to be a logical answer.
A crafts store is packaging round beads and bugle beads together. The following prices are the retail prices of the beads when packed separately: a package of round beads, which weigh 7.5 grams, costs $2.17; a package of bugle beads, which weigh 35 grams, costs $3.24. Find how many grams of round beads and bugle beads should be in a 10 gram package that sells for $.80.
I tried to solve the problem by using linear systems. I might have gotten something wrong, and I sure want to know!
let yg of bugle beads and x g of round beads are present in 10g packing
then considering cost we have the eqn.
2.17x+3.24y=.80
or 217x+324y=80,,,,,,,,,(1)
then considering weight we have the eqn.
7.5x+35y=10....(2)
now solving the eqns. 1 and 2
we have
y=.304g
and x= 9.6g
happy to help!!happy new year!
