Solution
8. There are only two kinds of fruit for sale, apple and orange. The prices of an apple
and an orange are $4 and $5 respectively. On a certain day, the number of apples
sold is 6 times the number of oranges sold and the sum of money for the fruit sold is
$1 479. Find the total number of fruit sold that day. HKDSE reference 17 Paper 1
Solution

Answers

Answer 1

7. The son's age is 6 and his father's is 36.

Let the age of the son be [tex]x[/tex] and the age of his father be [tex]y[/tex],

[tex]x+y=42\\6x=y[/tex]

substitute [tex]6x[/tex] for [tex]y[/tex] in [tex]x+y=42[/tex] to find the age of the son:

[tex]x+y=42\\x+6x=42\\7x=42\\x=6[/tex]

since [tex]6x=y[/tex], substitute the value of [tex]x =6[/tex] to find the age of the father:

[tex]6x=y\\x=6\\y=6*6\\y=36[/tex]

8. The total number of fruit sold is 304.

Let oranges be [tex]x[/tex] and apples be [tex]y[/tex],

[tex]4x+5y=1479\\y=6x[/tex]

substitute [tex]6x[/tex] to find the number of oranges:

[tex]4x+5y=1479\\4x+5(6x)=1479\\4x+30x=1479\\34x=1479\\x=43.5[/tex]

now solve for [tex]y[/tex] to find the number of apples:

[tex]y=6x\\y=6*43.5\\y=261[/tex]

add the two together to find the total number of fruit:

[tex]x+y = 43.5+261=304.5[/tex] ≈ [tex]304[/tex] (rounded up because fruit count is a whole number)

You use the equation $y=0.18x$ to calculate the tip $y$ (in dollars) that you add to a bill for $x$ dollars. a. Solve the equation for $x$ . The rewritten equation is $x=$ . b. Find the amount of the bill (not including tip) when your tip is $4.95. The bill is $\$$ .

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y = 0.18x, to solve for x, we will make the variable x as the subject of the formula from the equation given.

From the equation y = 0.18x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x i.e 0.18

y/0.18 = 0.18x/0.18

y/0.18 = x

Hence the function of the variable x = y/0.18

b) Given the amount of the bill as y and x is the tip in dollars.

Given  y = $4.95, we are to substitute the value of y = $4.95 into the resulting function in (a) to get x as shown;

Since x = y/0.18

x = $4.95/0.18

x = $27.5

Hence the bill is  $27.5

The scale of a map is 1 : 100,000. The distance between two houses on the map is 3.2 cm. Find the actual distance, in kilometers, between the two houses?

Answers

Answer:

The actual distance between the two houses is:

3.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions:

1cm       ⇔  100000 cm

3.2 cm  ⇔  W cm

W = 3.2*100000/1

W = 320000 cm

1 km = 100000 cm

320000cm = 320000/100000 = 3.2km

You are at a family reunion and the cooler contains ten bottles of soda; four Sprite, three Dr. Pepper, and three Cherry Coke. Three times, you randomly pick up a drink for your grandmother. The first time, you get a Cherry Coke. The second and third times, you get Dr. Pepper. What is the probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time and then an Cherry Coke the fifth time without replacement?

Answers

Answer:

Probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = [tex]\frac{1}7[/tex]

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Combined probability = [tex]\frac{1}{21}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]

It is given that first time a Cherry coke is chosen and it is not replaced.

So, number of cherry coke left = 2

Dr. Pepper is chosen twice and is not replaced, so

Number of Dr. Pepper left = 3 - 2 = 1

Total number of soda left = 10 - 3 = 7

So, probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = [tex]\frac{1}7[/tex]

Now, total number of soda left = 7 - 1 = 6

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = [tex]\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The combined probability = probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time multiplied with Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}7 \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{21}[/tex]

Given x=-3, y=6, and z=-4 22-3y+4x=​

Answers

Answer: -8

Explanation: It's a good idea to get into the habit of using parenthses

when substituting numbers in for variables.

Since x = -3 and y = 6, 22 - 3y + 4x is 22 - 3(6) + 4(-3).

3(6) is 18 so we have 22 - 18 + 4(-3).

4(-3) is - 12 so we have 22 - 18 + -12.

Now, 22 - 18 is 4 and 4 + -12 is -8.

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subsitute the variable "y" with 6 and the variable "x" with -3. Once the variables are replaced with the right numbers, the equation should read 22- 3(6) +4(-3). Using PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) you should do what's in the parentheses first. -3 times 6 is -18 and 4 times -3 is -12. 22-18-12= -8

-√4 = -2, which is a rational number

2π is not a rational number (we cannot express pi as a fraction exactly even though there are some close approximations)

2.2121... is also a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction (21/99, or 7/33 simplified)

Correct answer:

2). 2x + 10
3). 7 - x
4). 6x + 3
5). 10x

Explanation:

1). 5x + 4x - x
= 9x - x
= 8x

Mistake: 9x - x is 8x not 9x

2). 2(x + 5)
= 2x + 10

Mistake: When multiply 2(x + 5) you have to take 2(x) + 2(5) = 2x + 10 not 2(x) + 5 = 2x + 5

3). 5 - (x - 2)
= 5 - x + 2
= 7 - x

Mistake: when a minus sign is in front of a parenthesis the sign in between the two terms in the parentheses needs to change. 5 - (x - 2) = 5 - x + 2 not 5 - x - 2.

4). 2x + 3 + 4x
= 6x + 3

Mistake: Combine like terms. Add the number with variable to the number with variable. And the number without variable to the number without variable.

5). x + 3x + 6x
= 10x

Mistake: When add the number with the same variable. Only the coefficient increase not the exponent itself. But when multiply, both the coefficient and exponent increase.

If a dozen cookies cost $18, what is the cost for 18 cookies

Answers

What i did is. First i divided the cost of a dozen. And i took of a dozen of 18 (your cookies) and was left with 6 cookies. i also was left with 9 after dividing so if you add 6+9 so your answer is 15

Answer: For 18 cookies, the cost is 27 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given that:

a dozen cookies cost $18

And we have to find how many 18 cookies cost. We can solve this problem by finding the ratio, or fraction of dollars per cookie or cookie per dollars.

12 cookies             6                    2

----------------   =    -----------   =  -------------    So this means 2 cookies per 3 dollars.

18 dollars                9                   3

Now if you increase the numerator by 9 (the numerator is cookies) and you find that there are 18 cookies, then how much money is there to pay?

This can be found by increasing the denom. by 9 as well:

3  x   9  =  27

So then the cost is 27 dollars, and that is how much you have to pay.

A square sandbox has an area of 75 square feet. Estimate the length of one of the sides of the
sandbox. Round to the nearest tenths place.

Answers

Answer:

8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a square has equal side lengths, the formula for area is s^2, where s stands for side. Since we are given the area, s^2=75 square feet. Take the square root of both sides to get s is equivalent to the square root of 75 square feet. When this becomes a decimal, it is 8.66 feet. Since we are supposed to round to the nearest tenths, it rounds up to 8.7 feet per side length

The length of a rectangle is (t – 8) units, and its width is (t + 11) units. Which expression can represent the area of the rectangle?

Answer:

t² + 3t - 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rectangle of;

length = (t - 8) units

width = (t + 11) units

The area A of a rectangle is given by;

A  = length x width ----------------------------------(i)

Substitute the given length and width into equation (i) as follows;

A = (t - 8) x (t + 11)    [expand the brackets]

A = t² -8t + 11t - 88

A = t² + 3t - 88

Therefore, the area is

(t² + 3t - 88) square units
