PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Jennifer's Custom Kitchen Supplies sells handmade forks and spoons. It costs the store $2 to buy the supplies to make a fork and $1.20 to buy the supplies to make a spoon. The store sells forks for $6 and spoons for $5.50. Last April Jennifer's Custom Kitchen Supplies spent $27.60 on materials for forks and spoons. They sold the finished products for a total of $98. How many forks and how many spoons did they make last April?

Answer:

8 spoons and 9 forks

Step-by-step explanation:

2 F + 1.2S = 27.60

6 F + 5.5S = 98

solve system of equations


f for forks and s for spoons


2f+1.2s=27.60
-1.2s -1.2s
____________

2f = 27.60-1.2s
____________ = f=13.8-.06s
2

substitute 13.8-0.6s for f

6(13.8-0.6s)+5.5s=98

82.8-3.6s+5.5s=98

82.8+1.9s=98
-82.8 -82.8
_____________

1.9s = 15.2
___________ = s=8
1.9
