Answer: There are 9 T.V. and 29 radio ads.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total amount spend on TV and radio = $41,500

Total number of voters using the allocated funds = 148,000

Let the number of TV be 'x'.

Let the number of radio ads be 'y'.

Cost of each TV = $3000

Cost of each radio ads = $500

Number of voters see T.V. = 10,000

Number of voters use radio = 2000

So, According to question, it becomes,

[tex]3000x+500y=\$41500\implies\ 30x+5y=415\\\\10000x+2000y=148000\implies 10x+2y=148[/tex]

Using the graphing method, we get that

These two lines are intersect at (9,29).

Hence, there are 9 T.V. and 29 radio ads.

Answer: 9 TV ads and 29 radio ads will contact 148,000 voters using the allocated funds .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the number of users of TV ads and y denotes the number of radio ads.

Then by considering the given information, we have the foolowing system of equation:-

[tex]\text{Number of voters}\ :10000x+2000y=148000----(1)\\\\\text{Total costs}\ :3000x+500y=41500------(2)[/tex]

Multiply 4 on both sides of equation (2) , we get

[tex]12000x+2000y=166000---------(3)[/tex]

Subtract (1) from (3) , we get

[tex]2000x=18000\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{18000}{2000}=9[/tex]

Put x= 9 , in (2), we get;

[tex]3000(9)+500y=41500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 27000+500y=41500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 500=14500\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{14500}{500}=29[/tex]

Hence, the number of TV ads will be 9 and the number of radio ads will will be 29.
