Answer to Problem 69HP

  x=5.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A caterer purchased several pounds of tuna salad and chicken salad.

The cost of chicken salad per pound is $9 and the cost of tuna salad per pound is $6.

Cost of 14 pounds of both the salad is $111.

Calculation:

Let x be the weight of chicken salad and y be the weight of tuna salad.

Therefore, according to question,

  x+y=149x+6y=114.

Since none of the expressions is same on both the equation, therefore multiply by 9 in 1st equation then equate:

  9(x+y)=14×99x+9y=126

Now, subtract the equation,

  9x+9y=1269x+6y=114−      −         −_        3y=12     ∴y=123=4

Now, substitutes the value of y in 1st equation, then:

  x+y=14 x+9=14                            {∵y=9}x=5

Hence, the weight of chicken salad is x=5.
