We went to the market to buy some fruit. We decided to buy some apples, strawberries, and oranges. If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges, the fruit would cost $15.30. If we buy 1 box of strawberry, 4 apples, and 2 oranges, the fruit would cost $10.90. If we buy 1 orange, 5 apples and 2 boxes of strawberry, the fruit would cost $13.70. Use the Gaussian Elimination Method to solve for the price of each fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of apples bought be x

Amount of strawberries bought be y and;

amount of oranges bought be z

If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges, the fruit would cost $15.30, then this will be expressed as;

2x+3y+4z = 15.30 ........... 1

If we buy 1 box of strawberry, 4 apples, and 2 oranges, the fruit would cost $10.90, this will be expressed as:

4x+y+2z = 10.90 ......... 2

If we buy 1 orange, 5 apples and 2 boxes of strawberry, the fruit would cost $13.70, this is expressed as:

5x+2y+x = 13.70 .......... 3

Solving the three equations simultaneously:

2x+3y+4z = 15.30 ........... 1

4x+y+2z = 10.90 ......... 2

5x+2y+z = 13.70 .......... 3

Reduce the number of equations

multiply equation 1 by 2 and subtract from equation 2

equation 1 * 2 will give:

4x+6y+8z = 30.6 ........... 4

eqn (4)-eqn(2)

6y-y + 8z-2z = 30.6-10.90

5y+6z = 19.7 ......... 5

Also multiply equation 2 by 5 and eqn 5 by 4 and subtract from each other.

eqn(2)* 5 will give:

20x+5y+10z = 54.5 .......... *

eqn(3) * 4 will give

20x+8y+4z = 54.8.......**

Subtsrct ** from *

8y-3y+(4z-10z)= 54.8-54.5

5y-6z = 0.3 .................. 6

Equate 5 and 6 and solve:

5y+6z = 19.7 ......... 5

5y-6z = 0.3 .................. 6

subtract:

6z+6z = 19.7+0.3

12z = 20

z = 20/12

z = 1.67

Substitute z = 1.67 into eqn 6

5y-6(1.67) = 0.3

5y - 10 = 0.3

5y = 10.3

y = 10.3/5

y = 2.06

Substitute z = 1.67 and y = 2.06 into equation 1

From 1:

2x+3y+4z = 15.30

2x+3(2.06)+4(1.67) = 15.30

2x+6.18+6.68 = 15.30

2x+12.86 = 15.30

2x = 15.30-12.86

2x = 2.44

x = 2.44/2

x = 1.22

Therefore 1 apple costs $1.22, 1 strawberry costs $2.06 and 1 orange costs $1.67

3. Volunteer drivers are needed to bring 80 students to the championship baseball

game. Drivers either have cars, which can seat 4 students, or vans, which can seat 6

students. The equation 40 + 6v = 80 describes the relationship between the number

of cars, c, and number of vans, v, that can transport exactly 80 students.

Select all statements that are true about the situation.

A. If 12 cars go, then 2 vans are needed.

B. c = 14 and v= 4 are a pair of solutions to the equation.

C. If 6 cars go and 11 vans go, there will be extra space.

D. 10 cars and 8 vans isn't enough to transport all the students.

E. If 20 cars go, no vans are needed.

F. 8 vans and 8 cars are numbers that meet the constraints in this situation.

Deepak is measuring sides and angles of triangle FGH to determine whether it is congruent to triangle MNP shown below. Triangle M N P. Side P N is 26.7 centimeters, side M N is 18.3 centimeters, and side P M is 14.2 centimeters. Angle P is 40 degrees, angle N is 30 degrees, and angle M is 110 degrees. Deepak found that Angle G has a measure of 50° and Segment F H is 18.3 centimeters long. Does he need to continue measuring sides and angles of triangle FGH and why? No, he knows that the triangles are congruent because there are corresponding sides and angles that are congruent. No, he knows that the triangles are not congruent because those measurements are not equal to the corresponding parts of triangle MNP. Yes, he must verify that the other two side lengths and the other two angle measures are the same as those found in triangle MNP. Yes, he must only verify that the other two angle measures are the same as those found in triangle MNP.
