Thanks for posting your question here. The answer to the above problem is x = <span>48.125. Below is the solution:
</span>
x+x/7+1/11(x+x/7)=60
x = x/1 = x • 7/7
x <span>• 7 + x/ 7 = 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>x + x/7 + 1/11 <span>• 8x/7 - 60 = 0
</span>8x <span>• 11 + 8x/ 77 = 96x/ 77
</span>96x - 4620 = 12 <span>• (8x-385)
</span>8x - 385 = 0
x = 48.125
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the scenario in the question, the expression to calculate the number of boxes of sugar Alonso can buys will be:
= 2.75 + 11.50S ≤ 55
When solved further, this will be:
2.75 + 11.50S ≤ 55
11.50S ≤ 55 - 2.75
11.50S ≤ 52.25
S ≤ 52.25 / 11.50
S ≤ 4.54
He can buy 4 boxes of sugar
