Question 4

A seller at a farmer's market sells trays of large eggs and extra large eggs.
They sold a total of 75 trays of eggs in the past month.
•
They sold twice as many trays of large eggs as extra large eggs.
4.1. If they sold x trays of large eggs and y trays of extra large eggs, write
down two linear equations for the results above.

Answer 1

To write two linear equations for the results of the egg trays sold at the farmer's market, we use the information that the seller sold twice as many trays of large eggs as extra large eggs. The equations x + y = 75 and x = 2y represent the results.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write down two linear equations for the results above, we can use the given information that the seller sold twice as many trays of large eggs as extra large eggs. Let's say the number of trays of large eggs is x and the number of trays of extra large eggs is y.

From the given information, we know that:

1. The seller sold a total of 75 trays of eggs, so we have the equation: x + y = 75.
2. The seller sold twice as many trays of large eggs as extra large eggs, so we have the equation: x = 2y.

These two equations can be used to represent the results above.

Answer 2

They would have sold 8.2 eggs
