Ifteen bales of hale were loaded into a truck. Some of the bales weight 150 pounds, and some weighed 100 punds. Hpw many bales of 100 pounds and 150 pounds were loaded into the truck, total weight is 1900 pounds

There are 7 bales of 100 pounds and 8 bales of 150 pounds hale

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of bale of 100 pounds be x and the bale of hale of 150pounds be y

If fifteen bales of hale were loaded into a truck, then x+y = 15 ... 1

Also if some of the bales weight 150 pounds, and some weighed 100 pounds with total weight of pounds to be 1900 pounds, then mathematically;

150y + 100x = 1900

Dividing through by 100;

1.5y+x = 19 2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously;

x+y = 15 ... 1

1.5y+x = 19 2

Subtracting 1 from 2

y-1.5y = 15-19

-0.5y = -4

Divide both sides by 0.5

-0.5y/-0.5 = -4/-0.5

y = 8

Substituting y = 8 into equation 1, we will have;

x+y = 15

x+8 = 15

x = 15-8

x = 7

Hence there are 7 bales of 100 pounds and 8 bales of 150 pounds hale
