Question

A farmer requires four bags of fertilizer and three packets of maize seed for his plot.the total cost for both is sh 1 500.if a bag of fertilizer costs sh 200 more than a packet of maize seed,calculate the price of a) a bag of fertilizer b) a packet of maize seed

Answer 1

Answer:

Let cost of 1 packet of maize seeds = x

Let cost of 1 bag of fertilizer = x+200

3x +4(x+200)=1500

3x+4x+800=1500

7x=1500-800

7x=700

x=700÷7

x=100

Cost of 1 packet of maize seeds=x =100

Cost of 1 bag of fertilizer =x+200

=100+200

=300
