Answer by Theo(5427) " /> " /> You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x = number of forks let y = number of spoons cost of a fork = 1.70 cost of a spoon = 1.30 revenue from a fork = 5.60 revenue from a spoon = 5.40 In april they spent 37.90 on material. They sold them for a total of 147.20 your cost equation is: 1.70 * x + 1.30 * y = 37.90 your revenue equation is: 5.60 * x + 5.40 * y = 147.20 solve these two equations simultaneously to get your answer. simultaneously means the same value of x and the same value of y solve both equations at the same time. your two equations are: multiply the first equation by 5.6 and multiply the second equation by 1.7 to get: subtract the first equation from the second equation to get: divide both sides of this equation by 1.9 to get: y = 20 substitute that value for y in the first original equation. first original equation is: 1.70 * x + 1.30 * y = 37.90 substitute 20 for y to get:
