Next week, they plan to spend
99 hours in labor and
$564 in material for refinishing tables. How many tables should they plan to refinish with each method? (Round to two decimal places if necessary Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the two methods be x and y. Then:
.5x+2y=99
9x+7y=564
So:
9x+36y=1782
9x+7y=564
29y=1218
y=42
x=30
They should refinish 30 tables using the first method, and 42 tables using the second. ☺☺☺☺
