Question 67683This question is from textbook Advanced mathematics
: Lorijayne smiled, for she had purchased C cats for only D dollars. Then she frowned, for she still had to purchase P parrots and each parrot cost (7/4) of the cost of 1 cat. How much did she pay for her parrots? This question is from textbook Advanced mathematics
You can put this solution on YOUR website! C cats equals D dollars; divide both sides by C
1 Cat equals (D/C) dollars
We are told that 1 parrot costs (7/4)(D/C)=(7D)/(4C) dollars
1 parrot equals (7D)/(4C); multiply both sides by P
P parrots equals (7PD)/(4C) dollars
