Question

sold catch of 184 lemon and pepper fish for 1506.20. Lemonfish sold for 13.95 per pound and pepper fish for 6.25 per pound. How much of each were sold

Answer 1

L + P = 184

L = 184-P

L(13.95) + P(6.25) = 1506.20 got it so far?

Answer 2

(184 -P)(13.95) + P(6.25) = 1506.20

2566.8 - 13.95P + 6.25P = 1506.20 you still with me?

Answer 3

2566.80 -1506.20 = 13.95P - 6.25P
1060.60 = P(13.95 - 6.25)

you keeping up with me :)

Answer 4

1060.60 = P(7.70)
1060.60/(7.70) = P

P = 137.74

Answer 5

L = 184 - P

L = 184 - 137.74 = 46.26
