One package contains 20 dozen roses and 34 dozen carnations for $504.00. The other package contains 15 dozen roses and 17 dozen carnations for $327.00.
Let x = cost of one dozen roses
Let y = cost of one dozen carnations
a. Write a system of equations for this problem.
b. Which equation can be multiplied by a coefficient to create an opposite coefficient? What is that value?
c. Solve this system for the cost of one dozen roses and the cost of one dozen carnations.
A wholesaler is offering two different package deals of roses and carnations to florists.?
20x + 34y = 504
15x + 17y = 327
second, multiply by -2: -30x - 34y = -654
-10x = -150, so x = 15
and 300 + 34y = 504, or 34y = 204, so y = 6
