Each girls\' packet will contain 6 blouses and 4 pairs of pants. Define variables to represent the quantities and write an expression for each of the following: Define variables: The price of 6 blouses: The price of 4 pairs of pants: Write TWO DIFFERENT expressions representing the price of 5 packages containing 6 blouses and 4 pairs of pants: First expression: Second expression: If I buy 8 packets and 1 pair of shoes that costs $30, and spend $1086 what is the cost of one packet? You must define a variable, set up an equation, and solve the equation to find the cost of one packet. Show all of your work. If the cost of one blouse is $12, how much is one pair of pants?

Solution

7)

Price of Lumber Nace Tile = $25.09/12.61 = $1.989 per square feet

Price of Soha Mulberry Tile = $29.28/15.50 = $1.889 per square feet

Hence the price of soha mulberry tile is cheaper than Lumber Nace Tile

8)

Let the number of blouses be x

Let the number of pants be y

Let the cost price of one blouse be Cx

Let the cost price of one pant will be Cy

ii) The price of 6 blouses : 6Cx

iii) The price of 4 pants: 4Cy

iv) Price of five packages = 30Cx + 20Cy

v) 8 * price of packet + 30 = 1086

price of packet = 1056/8 = 132$

vi) 6*12 + 4 * Cy = 132

4*Cy = 60

Cy = 15$

Hence the cost of pant is equal to 15$
