Question 948134: I am having trouble setting up my systematic equation in this word problem.
"a company produces three combinations of mixed veggies that sell in 1 kg packages. Italian style has .4 kg of peas, .3 kg of broc, and .3 kg of carrots. French style contains .5 kg of broc and .5 kg of carrots. oriental style contains .2 kg of peas, .2 kg of broc, and .6 kg of carrots. the company has in stock 19,000 kgs of peas, 24,200 kgs of broc, and 47,800 kgs of carrots. how many of each style should they prepare to use all the ingredients."
Once i have my system of equations I can get the answer. I just have no idea how to set it up. Only problem I haven't gotten on my hw that is due at midnight central time. Thank you for the help and time.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! a company produces three combinations of mixed veggies that sell in 1 kg packages.
Italian style has .4 kg of peas, .3 kg of broc, and .3 kg of carrots.
French style contains .5 kg of broc and .5 kg of carrots.
oriental style contains .2 kg of peas, .2 kg of broc, and .6 kg of carrots.
the company has in stock 19,000 kgs of peas, 24,200 kgs of broc, and 47,800 kgs of carrots.
how many of each style should they prepare to use all the ingredients.
Let I = amt of Italian
Let f = amt of French
Let r = amt of Oriental
:
Write an equation for each ingrediant
.4I + 0f + .2r = 19000, (peas), none in the French
.3I + .5f + .2r = 24200, (broc)
.3I + .5f + .6r = 47800, (carrots)
