Raghav earned Rs3550 by selling some bags for 500 and some baskets each for Rs150.
Aarav earned Rs3400 by selling the same number of bags each for Rs400 and the same
number of baskets each for Rs200 as Raghav sold. Form linear equations to represent this
situation.
Dear Student,
To represent it in a linear equation we assume that the number of bags be 'x' and the number of baskets be 'y'.
Therefore,
For Raghav,
Total earning = cost of bag × no. of bags + cost of basket × no. of baskets
=> 3550 = 500x + 150y ----------(1)
Similarly for Aarav the equation becomes
=> 3400 = 400x + 200y ------------(2)
Hence, (1) and (2) are the required equations
