Question

each womens washroom uses an average of 1304 rolls of toilet paper and 47 rolls of paper towel per day, which costs a total of $51.34 per day. Each men's washroom uses an average of 540 rolls of toilet paper and 29 rolls of paper towels per day, which costs a total of $23.74 per day. Write a system of equations to model the information?

Answer 1

Let the cost of 1 roll of towel paper = $ x

Let the cost of 1 roll of toilet paper = $ y

Thus, For women:

1304y + 47x = 51.34

For men:

540y + 29x = 23.74

Solve the simultaneous equations to find x and y.
