Start by making variables to represent each tire S=all-season tires T=all-terrain tires Create equations based on what was given in the question 68s+125t=3926 (the price for each tire multiplied by the number of tires equals the overall sales price) T=14 (14 all-terrain tires were sold) Sub 14 into the first equation for t in order to solve for s 68s+125(14)=3926 68s+1750=3926 68s=3926-1750 68s=2176 S=32 I hope this helps!
This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.
Therefore; 6 tractors ----- 10 days 18 tractors --- x days
Then, x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.
This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.
