The lemonade sales at a baseball game are described as follows:
The number of small lemonades purchased is the number of mediums sold plus double the number of larges sold.
The total number of all sizes sold is 70.
One-and-a-half times the number of smalls purchased plus twice the number of mediums sold is 100.
Use a system of equations and its matrix representation to determine the number of small, medium, and large
lemonades sold

Answer:

[tex]Large => L=10[/tex]

[tex]Medium => M=20[/tex]

[tex]small => S=40[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of small lemonades purchased is the number of mediums sold plus double the number of larges sold:

[tex]S=M+2L => S-M-2L = 0[/tex]

The total number of all sizes sold is 70:

[tex]S+M+L = 70[/tex]

One-and-a-half times the number of smalls purchased plus twice the number of mediums sold is 100:

[tex]1,5S+2M = 100[/tex]

The system of equations is:

[tex]S-M-2L = 0\\S+M+L = 70\\1,5S+2M = 100[/tex]

Matrix to solve by gauss-jordan elimination:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-1&-2&0\\1&1&1&70\\1.5&2&0&100\end{array}\right][/tex]

Solving from first row:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-1&-2&0\\0&2&3&70\\0&3.5&3&100\end{array}\right][/tex]

Solving from second row:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-1&-2&0\\0&2&3&70\\0&0&-4.5&-45\end{array}\right][/tex]

From this:

[tex]-4.5 L=-45 => L=10[/tex]

[tex]2 M+3*10=70 => M=20[/tex]

[tex]S -20-2*10=0 => S=40[/tex]
