For the following exercises, write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix.
57. A clothing store needs to order new inventory. It has three different types of hats for sale: straw hats, beanies, and cowboy hats. The straw hat is priced at $13.99, the beanie at $7.99, and the cowboy hat at $14.49. If 100 hats were sold this past quarter, $1,119 was taken in by sales, and the amount of beanies sold was 10 more than cowboy hats, how many of each should the clothing store order to replace those already sold?

- For the following exercises, write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix. 61. Jay has lemon, orange, and pomegranate trees in his backyard. An orange weighs 8 oz, a lemon 5 oz. and a pomegranate 11 oz. Jay picked 142 pieces of fruit weighing a total of 70 1b, 10 oz. He picked 15.5 times more oranges than pomegranates. How many of each fruit did Jay pick?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix. 55. Students were asked to bring their favorite fruit to class. 95% of the fruits consisted of banana, apple, and oranges. If oranges were twice as popular as bananas, and apples were 5% less popular than bananas, what are the percentages of each individual fruit?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix. 58. Anna, Ashley, and Andrea weigh a combined 370 lb. If Andrea weighs 20 1b more than Ashley, and Anna weighs 1.5 times as much as Ashley, how much does each girl weigh?arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix. 52. 2,400 tickets were sold for a basketball game. If the prices for floor 1 and floor 2 were different, and the total amount of money brought in is $64,000, how much was the price of each ticket?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, write a system of equations that represents the situation. Then, solve the system using the inverse of a matrix. 60. A farmer constructed a chicken coop out of chicken wire, wood, and plywood. The chicken wire cost $2 per square foot, the wood $10 per square foot, and the plywood $5 per square foot. The farmer spent a total of $51, and the total amount of materials used was 14 ft2. He used 3 ft2 more chicken wire than plywood. How much of each material in did the farmer use?arrow_forwardWrite the system of equations that that corresponds to the augmented matrix. 378.
