emma henderson is planning a north american odyssey and has $1500 budgeted for spending money. it costs $.60 to buy a peso and $.75 to buy a canadian dollar. she expects her adventures in mexico to take more time, so she wants to have five times as many pesos as canadian dollars. set up and solve a system of equations to model this problem, and explain what your answer means in practical terms.

Respuesta :

The system of equations are:

0.60p + 0.75c = 1500 equation 1

p = 5c equation 2

The Mexican pesos that Emma should have is 2000.

The amount of of Canadian dollars that Emma should have is 500.

What are the solutions ?

The system of equations to model the problem are:

0.60p + 0.75c = 1500 equation 1

p = 5c equation 2

Where:

  • p = number of pesos bought
  • c = number of Canadian dollars bought

The substitution method would be used to determine the required values.

Substitute for p in equation 1 using equation 2:

0.60(5c) + 0.75c = 1500

3c + 0.75c = 1500

3.75c = 1500

c = 1500 / 3.75

c = 400

Substitute for c in equation 2 :

p = 5(400)

p = 2000
