Question

A kite and a spool cost rs.29.75 together.Jason paid Rs.228.55 for 12 kites and 5 spools.How much will Ted Pay for 2 kites and 4 spools?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of kite be x

And the cost of spool be y

According to the given condition

x + y = 29.75 ........eq 1

12x + 5y =228.55 ......eq2

Eq 1 × 12 ==>

12x + 12y = 357 .......eq 3

By elimination method

Eq3 - eq2

=> 12x + 12y =357

12x + 5y =228.55

____________________

0x +7y = 128.45

y=128.45÷7=18.35

x=29.75-18.35=11.4

Cost of 2 kites =22.8

Cost of 4 spool =73.4

Total cost Ted will pay =22.8+73.4=96.2
