Price List:
Doves: 5 coinsCranes: 20 coins Peacocks: 30 coinsTotal coins to be spent: 500
Total number of birds to be purchased: 50
Let number of doves bought be x, number of cranes bought be y and number of peacocks bought be z
⇒ x + y + z = 50 (i)
and 5x + 20y + 30z = 500 (ii)
Multiplying (i) by 5 and subtracting from (ii)
5x + 20y + 30z - 5x - 5y - 5z = 500 - 250
⇒ 15y + 25z = 250
⇒ 3y + 5z = 50
Now, the above equation is true for y = 0 & z = 10, for y = 5 & z = 7, y = 10 & z = 4, for y = 15 & z = 1.
For all the above values of y and z, let's determine value of x (using x + y + z = 50):
When y = 0, z = 10, ⇒ x = 40When y = 5, z = 7, ⇒ x = 38When y = 10, z = 4, ⇒ x = 36When y = 15, z = 1, ⇒ x = 34Hence, the options available for purchase are:
40 doves, 0 cranes and 10 peacocks38 doves, 5 cranes and 7 peacocks36 doves, 10 cranes and 4 peacocks34 doves , 15 cranes and 1 peacockОтвет:
it would be the first answer I think. not very sure
