Agift basket that contains jars of jam and packages of bread mix costs $45. there are 8 items in the basket. jars of jam cost $6 each, and packages of bread mix cost $5 each. write and solve a system of linear equations to find the number of jars of jam and the number of packages of bread mix in the gift basket.

5 jars of jam and 3 packages of bread mix are in gift basket

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of jars of jam

Let "y" the number of packages of bread mix

Cost of 1 jars of jam = $ 6

Cost of 1 package of bead mix = $ 5

There are 8 items in the basket

Therefore,

number of jars of jam + number of packages of bread mix = 8

x + y = 8 ---------- eqn 1

A gift basket that contains jars of jam and packages of bread mix costs $45

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of jars of jam x Cost of 1 jars of jam + number of packages of bread mix x Cost of 1 package of bead mix = 45

6x + 5y = 45 --------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

x = 8 - y --------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

6(8 - y) + 5y = 45

48 - 6y + 5y = 45

y = 48 - 45

Substitute y = 3 in eqn 3

x = 8 - 3

Thus 5 jars of jam and 3 packages of bread mix are in gift basket

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

it could be 1,3 and more others to create a cylinder.
