lovely shop runs a sale on goldfish and platys . if one customer buys 13 goldfish and 12 platys for $ 5.60 , and another buys 14 goldfish and 21 platys for $ 8.05 , what is the ratio of the price of goldfish to platys ?
the approach of plugging in the numbers is a fine approach . but , in this case , the answer was the first option and thus , by plugging in a number in the ration given , we arrived at the answer quickly ! however , what if the correct ratio was option d or c ? in any case , the algebraic solution is n ' t that complex if you realize a key concept : the number 7 can be factored out of the second equation ! here ' s the working : lovely shop runs a sale on goldfish and platys . 13 x + 12 y = 5.60 < < < < < equation 1 14 x + 21 y = 8.05 < < < < < equation 2 2 x + 3 y = 1.15 [ factor out 7 from equation 2 ] < < < < < equation 3 8 x + 12 y = 4.6 [ multiply equation 3 with 4 ] 5 x = 1.0 [ equation 1 - equation 2 ] x = 0.2 3 y = 1.15 - 0.4 = 0.75 [ substitute for x in equation 1 ] y = 0.25 x / y = 0.2 / 0.25 = 20 / 25 = 4 / 5 = 0.8 [ answer a ] the whole thing must have taken me about 45 s : d
