The weight of 3 cans of juice and 2 energy bars is 33.6 ounces. Four energy bars and two cans of juice weigh 27.2 ounces. How much does one energy bar weigh?

Sagot :

Answer:

1.8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

⇒ weight of a can of juice = x

⇒ weight of an energy bar = y

=============================================================

Equations formed :

  1. 3x + 2y = 33.6
  2. 4y + 2x = 27.2

============================================================

Multiply Equation 1 by 2 :

⇒ 2 × (3x + 2y) = 2 × 33.6

⇒ 6x + 4y = 67.2 [Equation 3]

===========================================================

Subtract : Equation 3 - Equation 2

⇒ 6x + 4y - 4y - 2x = 67.2 - 27.2

⇒ 4x = 40

⇒ x = 10

===========================================================

Finding the weight of an energy bar :

⇒ 3(10) + 2y = 33.6

⇒ 2y = 3.6

⇒ y = 1.8 ounces
