Anyone can simplify for me please...
Anyone can simplify for me please...
Not sure if this answer would be accepted...Let me know?
3 wallets = 4 belts
1 wallet = 4/3 belts
7 belts - 150 = 4 wallets
7 belts - 150 = 4/3 belts * 4 wallets --- convert all to belts
7 belts - 150 = 16/3 belts
21 belts - 450 = 16 belts
5 belts = 450
1 belt = 90
1 wallet = 90* 4/3 = 120
1 belt + 1 wallet = 90+120 = 210
1050/210 = 5
So 5 belts and wallets were bought.
3 wallets = 4 belts
1 wallet = 4/3 belts
7 belts - 150 = 4 wallets
7 belts - 150 = 4/3 belts * 4 wallets --- convert all to belts
7 belts - 150 = 16/3 belts
21 belts - 450 = 16 belts
5 belts = 450
1 belt = 90
1 wallet = 90* 4/3 = 120
1 belt + 1 wallet = 90+120 = 210
1050/210 = 5
So 5 belts and wallets were bought.
①
7 belts cost $150 more than 4 wallets.
Multiply by 3,
21 belts cost $450 more than 12 wallets.
②
Since 3 wallets cost as much as 4 belts,
Multiply by 4 ,
12 wallets cost as much as 16 belts.
③
So we can now say that :
21 belts cost $450 more than 16 belts.
That's 5 belts more.
This tells you that 5 belts = $450
1 belt cost = $450 ÷ 5 = $90
④
So 16 belts cost = $90 x 16 = $1440
And this equals cost of 12 wallets.
1 wallet cost = $1440 ÷ 12 = $120
⑤Equal numbers of wallets and belts are bought.
Group every wallet and belt together as 1 set
Total cost of 1 set = $120 + $90 = $210
⑥
Number of sets that can be bought with $1050
= $1050 ÷ $210
= 5
Number of belts and wallets altogether
= 5 sets x 2 items per set
= 10
7 belts cost $150 more than 4 wallets.
Multiply by 3,
21 belts cost $450 more than 12 wallets.
②

Thanks for the efforts
So is there anything you still not understand?
