Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

let th no of pines sold at 1.60 = x
then th no of pines sold at 1.60 = (36-x)

Answer 6

Money earned from x pines sold at 1.60 = 1.60x
Money earned from (36-x) pines sold at 1.80 = 1.80 (36-x) = 64.8 - 1.80x

Answer 7

ATQ, 1.60x + (64.8 - 1.80x) = 61.60
or 1.60x -1.80x = 61.60 - 64.8
- 0.2x = - 3.2
x = -3.2/ -0.2
x = 16

Answer 8

so no of pines sold at 1.6 = x =16
and no of pines sold at 1.8 = 36 -16 = 20
