Does it? Did I fail at problem 2? I got:
Bottle + cork = 10
Bottle = 9cork
bottle/9 = cork
9(bottle + bottle/9) = 9(10)
9 bottle + bottle = 90
10 bottle = 90
bottle = 9
9 = 9cork
1 = cork
- sokoloff 5y agoI read the second statement ("the bottle itself is 9 kopecks more expensive than the cork.") as: Bottle = 9 + Cork Your statement (Bottle = 9 * Cork) would be "the bottle is 9 times as expensive as the cork". I solve it to: Bottle = 9.5 Kopecks. Cork = 0.5 Kopecks.
