Respuesta :

Using a system of equations, it is found that there are 10 baskets that hold 4 meals in the shop.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given by:

  • Variable x: Number of baskets that hold 2 meals.
  • Variable y: Number of baskets that hold 4 meals.

There are 25 baskets in the shop, hence:

x + y = 25 -> x = 25 - y

They can hold a total of 70 meals, hence:

2x + 4y = 70

2(25 - y) + 4y = 70

2y = 20

y = 10

There are 10 baskets that hold 4 meals in the shop.
