Explanation for Question 1 From the Math (No Calc) Section on the 2017 April Sat
Question one says a farmer sold 108 pounds of produce that consistent 2 of Z pounds of zucchini and sea pounds of cucumbers. 3 The farmer sold the zucchini for $1 and 69 cents per pound, 4 and the cucumbers for $0 and 99 cents per pound, 5 and collected a total of $150 and 32 cents, 6 which of the following systems of equations can be used to find the number 7 of pounds of zucchini that were sold. So the first system of equations that 8 we can set up is Z plus C is equal to 9 108, the pound, 10 the total number of pounds, which is 108 is equal to the pounds. 11 As you can eat, plus the pounds of cucumbers and right 12 off the bat, we can use that to eliminate answers D and a, 13 which set Z plus C equal to 150 and 3.32, 14 the second system, or the second equation in the system that we can set 15 up is $1 69 Z. 16 So the prices you Kenie times the number of zucchini, 17 plus 0.99. 18 See the price of cucumbers times the amount of cucumbers is 19 equal to 150.32. 20 And from that we know that the answer is B because that has the 21 same set of equations that we set up.
