A store is having a sale on jellybeans and trail mix. For 8 pounds of jellybeans and 3 pounds of trail mix the total cost $34. For 2 pounds of jellybeans and 5 pounds of trail mix the total cost is $17. Find the cost of each pound of jellybeans and each pound of trail mix.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of jellybeans = x = $3.5

Cost of trail mix = y = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cost of jellybeans = x

Cost of trail mix = y

8x + 3y = 34 (1)

2x + 5y = 17 (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3

40x + 15y = 170 (3)

6x + 15y = 51 (4)

Subtract (4) from (3)

40x - 6x = 170 - 51

34x = 119

x = 119/34

x = 3.5

Substitute x = 3.5 into (1)

8x + 3y = 34

8(3.5) + 3y = 34

28 + 3y = 34

3y = 34 - 28

3y = 6

y = 6/3

y = 2

Cost of jellybeans = x = $3.5

Cost of trail mix = y = $2

Hi!

Let's first expand the cotangent of theta.

You'll probably know that tangent will be "y/x", or [tex]\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}[/tex], and cotangent is the reciprocal of this, meaning that it is "x/y" or [tex]\frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}[/tex].

That means that we are now given this equation.

[tex]cos(x)\frac{cos(x)}{sin(x)}+sin(x)[/tex]

That'll multiply to:

[tex]\frac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)}+sin(x)[/tex]

We'll want a common denominator to add by multiplying [tex]sin(x)[/tex] to both top and bottom of the second term:

[tex]\frac{cos^2(x)}{sin(x)}+\frac{sin^2(x)}{sin(x)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)}{sin(x)}[/tex]

Pythagorean Identity states that [tex]sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1[/tex], so substitute that in:

[tex]\frac{1}{sin(x)}[/tex]

Which simplifies to:

[tex]csc(x)[/tex]

Answer:

456 ft.sq

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's your solution

=> Divide the whole figure in two parts

First part is trapezium

Second part is square

=> Area of trapezium = 1/2*sum of parrel sides*distance between them

=> Area of trap. = 1/2*( 24 + 11) *24

=> Area = 1/2*35*24

= > Area = 35*12. =. 420 ft.sa

=> Area of square = side*side

=> Area = 6*6

=> Area = 36 ft.sq

=> Total area of figure = 420 + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

So the sum of the angles is 18 × 90 = 1620

the formula to find number of sides is n which is sides - 2 into 180 equals sum of interior angles

(n-2)*180 = 1620

n-2 = 1620/180

n- 2 = 9

The pet shop is selling cat food at $7.50 per pound. The store marks down all the merchandise by 30% for a promotion. Members Receive an additional 20% discount after that. Nusrat is a member and wishes to purchase 2 pounds of cat food. How many dollars should she expect to pay? (please answer quickly someone I really need help :/)

Answers

Answer: $8.40

Explanation:
We convert percentages to decimals by dividing by 100.
So 100% = 1.0, 70% = 0.7 (that’s what’s left after a 30% discount), 80% = 0.8 (what’s left after the 20% discount)

7.50 x 0.7 = 5.25 (price after first discount)

5.25 x 0.8 = 4.20 (price per pound after second discount)

She is buying two pounds, so double that.

4.20 x 2 = $8.40

You can always multiply by the amount of discount and subtract from the whole, but this is faster

7.50 x 0.3 = 2.25
7.50 - 2.25 = 5.25

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Answer:

$13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must find out how much Jason's family is spending on admission and keychains. To find this out, just multiply the $10 and the $2 separately by 4. Once you find out how much the family is spending on each item, add them up. It should look like this:

$10 x 4 = $40

$2 x 4 = $8

$40 + $8 = $48

Next, just subtract the $48 from the initial $100 to find out how much the family as a whole can spend on food.

$100 - $48 = $52

Finally, just divide the $52 by 4 to represent how much each family member can spend.

$52 / 4 = $13

Each person in Jason's family can spend $13 on food. Hope this helps!

Find the edge of a cube whose volume is equal to the volume of a cuboid with dimensions 36 cm × 75 cm × 80 cm.

Answers

Given:

Dimensions of a cuboid = 36 cm × 75 cm × 80 cm.

To find:

The edge of a cube whose volume is equal to the volume of the given cuboid.

Solution:

We know that the volume of a cuboid is

[tex]Volume=length\times breadth \times height[/tex]

[tex]V_1=36\times 75 \times 80[/tex]

[tex]V_1=216000[/tex]

The volume of a cube is

[tex]Volume=a^3[/tex]

Where, a is the side length of the cube.

The volume of cube and cuboid are equal. So,

[tex]a^3=216000[/tex]

[tex]a=\sqrt[3]{216000}[/tex]

[tex]a=60[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of edge of the cube is 60 cm.

HURRRRRYYYYYRick read the following argument:Although the gas helium is the second most abundant element in the known universe, its supplies on Earth are limited. Most helium comes either from mining minerals or as a byproduct of natural gas. Although helium is in low supply, the demand for it is quite high. It can be used for a variety of medical purposes, including the treatment of breathing problems such as asthma. Helium also has heart and nerve protective properties, and doctors are beginning to use it in surgery. Yet current laws make recycling helium unprofitable. For the sake of our health, those laws must change.Which statement would be the most appropriate in a conclusion to this argument? Why? A. These laws are unlikely to change, so we must take steps to manufacture helium on our own. This statement makes the logical leap that if we can't recycle helium, we should create it. B. Until human disease is a thing of the past, we cannot support laws that put helium supplies at risk. This restates the claim of this argument, which is that we should do everything in our power to treat human diseases. C. If there is any practical use for helium other than medicine, laws should change to protect current supplies of the gas. This sentence summarizes one of the major points of the argument, which is that helium reserves are in low supply. D. Human health depends on helium, and therefore it is necessary to change the laws that make it hard to acquire.
