Three bottles of wine and four bottles of water cost N450. If each bottle of water costs 35 naira, how much is spent on the wine?

Answer :

Final answer:

The amount spent on the wine is N310.

Explanation:

To find out how much was spent on the wine, we need to subtract the amount spent on the bottled water from the total cost. From the given information, we know that 4 bottles of water cost N450 and each bottle of water costs N35. So, the amount spent on the bottled water is 4 x N35 = N140. To find the amount spent on the wine, we subtract N140 from N450: N450 - N140 = N310. Therefore, N310 was spent on the wine.

Answer:

N103. 33

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of bottle of water be represented by B

Let the cost of wine be represented by W

3×W + 4×B =N450

3W+4B=450....(1)

one bottle of water(B)Costs N35

3W+ 4(N35)= N450

3W + 140=450

collect the.like terms

3W= 450-140

3W = 310

divide through by 3

W= N103.33
