Question

four goats two sheep cost rs 2500 six goats five sheep cost rs 6000 find the cost of one goat and one sheep separately​

Answer 1

Answer:

cost of one goat is ₹62.5 and one sheep is ₹1125

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of one goat be x and one sheep be y

now, ATQ

4x+2y= 2500. -(I)

6x+5y= 6000. -(II)

now multiplying 5 to equation EQ. I and 2 to EQ. II we get,

20x+10y= 12500 and 12x+10y=12000

now after subtracting both the equations we get

8x=500

x=62.5

putting the value of x in (I) we get

y=1125

therefore cost of one goat is ₹62.5 and one sheep is ₹1125
