Your mother has left you in charge of the annual family yard sale. Before she leaves you to your entrepreneurial abilities, she explains that she has made the job easy for you: everything costs either $1.50 or $3.50. She asks you to keep track of how many of each type of item is sold, and you make a list, but it gets lost sometime throughout the day. Just before she’s supposed to get home, you realize that all you know is that there were 150 items to start with (your mom counted) and you have 41 items left. Also, you know that you made $227.50. Write a system of equations that you could solve to figure out how many of each type of item you sold.

A) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
B) x + y = 109
(3.5)x + 227.50 = (1.5)y
C) x + y = 41
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
D) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
E) x + y = 150
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
F) x + y = $3.50
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the items sold with price $1.5 = [tex]x[/tex]

Let the items sold with price $3.5 = [tex]y[/tex]

Initially, total number of items = 150

Items left at the end of the day = 41

So, number of items sold throughout the day = Total number of items - Number of items left

Number of Items sold = 150 - 41 = 109

So, the first equation can be written as:

[tex]\bold{x+y = 109} ....... (1)[/tex]

Now, let us calculate the sales done by each item.

Sales from item with price $1.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (1.5)[tex]x[/tex]

Sales from item with price $3.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (3.5)[tex]y[/tex]

Total sales = [tex]\bold{(1.5)x+(3.5)y = 227.50} ....... (2)[/tex]

So, the correct answer is:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

12x + 4y = 152 32x + 12y = 420 what is y?

Answers

Answer:

the value of x = 9  and y =11.

Given the system of equation:

12x + 4y =152                  .......[1]

32x + 12y = 420              ......[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;

Using distributive property:  

            ......[3]

On solving equation [2] and [3] simultaneously we get;

x = 9

Substitute the value of x= 9 in [1] to solve for y;

108 + 4y = 152

Subtract 108 from both sides we have;

108 + 4y -108 = 152- 108

Simplify:

4y = 44

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

Simplify:

y= 11

therefore, the value of x = 9  and y =11.

the answer is b, 8 units right, and 5 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

The image of △JKL after a translation of 8 unit right and 5 units up to   △J"K" L directly.

What is translation?

The act of moving a figure or shape from one location to another is known as translation. A figure can move up, down, right, left, or anywhere else in the coordinate system during translation. The only thing that changes about the object in translation is its position; its size stays the same.

Given  Graph △JKL with vertices J(-3, 4) K (4, 4), and L (6, -2)

and  Graph the image of △JKL after a translation of 1 unit left and 10 units up. Label the image △J'K'L',

and  Then translate △JKL 9 units right and 5 units down. Label this image △J"K"L.

from graph coordinates of △J"K"L are J"(5, 9), K"(4, 1) and L"(14, 3)

change in J to J" is (5 - (-3), 9- 4) =(8 , 5),

same for K to K" and L to L"

ΔJKL moves 8 units right and 5 units up to  △J"K"L"

Hence  8 units right and 5 units up  translation would move △JKL to △J"K" L directly.

Al’s Produce Stand sells 6 ears of corn for $1.50. Barbara’s Produce Stand sells 13 ears of corn for $3.12. Write two equations, one for each produce stand, that model the relationship between the number of ears of corn sold and the cost.

Answers

Answer:

6n = 1.50

and

13n = 3.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in writing equations that relate the number of ears of corn sold and the cost.

For Al’s produce stand, let the price per corn sold be n

Thus;

6 * n = 1.50

6n = $1.50 •••••••(i)

For the second;

let the price per corn sold be n;

13 * n = $3.12

-> 13n = 3.12 •••••••••(ii)

Hello, there!!!

I hope you mean the question is like the above problem in picture.

so, let's simply work with it.

here, we may use cosine rule,

so, according to cosine rule,

[tex] {c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} - 2ab.cosc[/tex]

so, just put value of formulae here,

we get;

5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 - (2×3×4) . cos thita

or, 25 = 9 + 16 -24 cos thita.

or, 24 cos thita = 0

or, cos thita = 0/25

or, cos thita = 0

now, taking cos to right side we get,

[tex] {cos}^{ - 1 } (0)[/tex]

now, after typing cos ^-1 (0) we get angle as 90°.

(note: in step {cos thita = 0} you couold directly write like; cos thita = cos 90°. and cos would be cancelled in it as cos 90°=0. but it is only applied in particular angle like 0°,30°,60°,..... which are identified or if you don't know you must use the method above using calculator and remember to put inverse {cos^-1}).

so, In this way we find angle.

Answers

Answer:

The correct statements are b, c and e.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the dot plot for Noah and Jada's score in the trivia game.

From the dot plot it is quite clear that the data form a bell-shaped curved or a normal curve.

For the normal distribution:

Mean = Median = Mode

Noah's mean score = 5

Jada's mean score = 3

The standard deviation of a data set is the measure of dispersion of the observations of that data set from their mean.

On closely studying the graphs we can see that the Noah and Jada's scores are almost at a same distance from the mean, i.e. the spread of Noah's score is same as the spread of Jada's score.

So, the correct statements are:

b. The standard deviation of Noah's scores is equal to the standard deviation of Jada's scores.

c. The mean of Noah's scores is greater than the mean of Jada's scores.

e. Using only Noah's scores, the mean is equal to the median

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In similar triangles, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

width of medium triangle = 4/5 width of large triangle

width of medium triangle = 4/5(8 in.) = 6.4 in.

length of medium triangle = 4/5 length of large triangle

length of medium triangle = 4/5(12 in.) = 9.6 in.

width of small triangle = 4/5 width of medium triangle

width of small triangle = 4/5(6.4 in.) = 5.12 in.

length of small triangle = 4/5 length of medium triangle

length of small triangle = 4/5(9.6 in.) = 7.68 in.
