In the air talent show in the eve of independence day 90 aircraft (only Sukhoi and Mig - 21) participated, It is known that for everyone hour flight a Sukhoi and a Mig - 21 consume 2 litres and 3 litres of fuel respectively. The price of fuel for Sukhoi is `$10` per litre and price for the fuel of Mog - 21 is `$15` per litre. Thus all the aircrafts accounted `$3050` for the fuel in one hour show. The number of Sukhoi planes is :

A

20

B

30

C

40

D

50

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to set up a system of equations based on the information given. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( x \) = number of Sukhoi planes - \( y \) = number of MiG-21 planes ### Step 2: Set Up the First Equation According to the problem, the total number of aircraft is 90. Therefore, we can write our first equation as: \[ x + y = 90 \quad \text{(1)} \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Second Equation Next, we need to calculate the total fuel cost. The fuel consumption and costs are given as follows: - A Sukhoi consumes 2 liters of fuel per hour at $10 per liter. Thus, the cost for one Sukhoi per hour is: \[ 2 \text{ liters} \times 10 \text{ dollars/liter} = 20 \text{ dollars} \] So, for \( x \) Sukhoi planes, the total cost is: \[ 20x \quad \text{(2)} \] - A MiG-21 consumes 3 liters of fuel per hour at $15 per liter. Thus, the cost for one MiG-21 per hour is: \[ 3 \text{ liters} \times 15 \text{ dollars/liter} = 45 \text{ dollars} \] So, for \( y \) MiG-21 planes, the total cost is: \[ 45y \quad \text{(3)} \] According to the problem, the total fuel cost for all aircraft is $3050. Therefore, we can write our second equation as: \[ 20x + 45y = 3050 \quad \text{(4)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the System of Equations Now we have a system of two equations: 1. \( x + y = 90 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 20x + 45y = 3050 \) (Equation 4) We can solve these equations simultaneously. First, we can express \( y \) from Equation (1): \[ y = 90 - x \quad \text{(5)} \] ### Step 5: Substitute Equation (5) into Equation (4) Substituting \( y \) from Equation (5) into Equation (4): \[ 20x + 45(90 - x) = 3050 \] Expanding this gives: \[ 20x + 4050 - 45x = 3050 \] Combining like terms: \[ -25x + 4050 = 3050 \] Now, isolate \( x \): \[ -25x = 3050 - 4050 \] \[ -25x = -1000 \] Dividing both sides by -25: \[ x = 40 \] ### Step 6: Find \( y \) Now that we have \( x \), we can find \( y \) using Equation (5): \[ y = 90 - x = 90 - 40 = 50 \] ### Conclusion The number of Sukhoi planes is \( \boxed{40} \). ---
