Lucy is tiling her bathroom. She buys white and blue tiles in the ratio 13:2.Blue tiles cost £2.80 while white tiles cost £2.35.If she buys 16 blue tiles how much does Lucy spend on tiles in total?

* Lucy spent £289.2 on tiles *

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the tiles are present in a 13 to 2 ratio ( 13 : 2 ) so if there are 16 blue tiles that she buys, the number of red tiles bought should be represented the following -

= ... now this is only assuming that the 13 : 2 ratio is meant by white : blue tiles. Let's solve through cross - multiplication,

13 16 = 2,

208 = 2,

= 104 white tiles

So if there are 104 white tiles, and 16 blue tiles, we can determine the total amount Lucy spent on tiles by associating the cost to the type of tile,

£2.80 16 = £44.8,

£2.35 104 = £244.4,

Total Amount Lucy Spent on Tiles = £44.8 + £244.4 = £289.2

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3
