Michelle is purchasing fabric for two new sewing projects: a hat and a tote bag. The two projects each need red and black fabric. The hat requires 2 yards of red fabric and 1 yard of black fabric. The tote bag requires 2 yards of red fabric and 4 yards of black fabric. Michelle paid $14 for the hat’s fabric and $26 for the tote bag’s fabric. How much does one yard of each fabric cost?

Respuesta :

The cost of one yard of black fabric is $4.

The cost of one yard of red fabric is $5.

What are the linear functions that represent the question?

2r + b = 14 equation 1

2r + 4b = 26 equation 2

Where:

r = cost of one yard of red fabric

b = cost of one yard of black fabric

What is the cost of each type of fabric?

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2

3b = 12

b = 12 / 3

b = 4

Substitute for b in equation 1

2r + 4 = 14

2r = 14 - 4

2r = 10

r = 10 / 2

r = $5
