___________
.10d+.25q+.50h=$17.75
d+q+h=70
q=3d
h=70-4d
_______
d+3d+h=70
4d+h=70
h=70-4d
_______
.10d+.25(3d)+.50(70-4d)=$17.75
100(.10d+.25(3d)+.50(70-4d))=100($17.75)
10d+75d+3500-20d=1775
65d+3500=1775
65d/65= -1725/65
d doesn't = 26 7/13
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 3500 in your work should be 35 because you are multiplying
0.50 (70)
Make that change in your work.
