Agrocery store clerk put only packages of flour tortillas and packages of corn tortillas on the shelf. the ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16.
which number could be the number of packages of flour tortillas the clerk put on the shelf?

x is the 9 multiple = 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

=> the total packages : x + y

Given that the ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16, it means:

<=> =

<=> 16y = 7x+7y

<=> 9y = 7x

<=> x =

since both x and y are integers y is in the form of 7k where k∈N so

x = 9k

So x is the 9 multiple.

Hope it will find you well.

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
