Answer:
8 spoons and 9 forks
Step-by-step explanation:
2 F + 1.2S = 27.60
6 F + 5.5S = 98
solve system of equations
f for forks and s for spoons
2f+1.2s=27.60
-1.2s -1.2s
____________
2f = 27.60-1.2s
____________ = f=13.8-.06s
2
substitute 13.8-0.6s for f
6(13.8-0.6s)+5.5s=98
82.8-3.6s+5.5s=98
82.8+1.9s=98
-82.8 -82.8
_____________
1.9s = 15.2
___________ = s=8
1.9
