A youth group is selling snacks to raise money to attend their convention. Amy sold 2 pounds of candy, 3 boxes of cookies and 1 can of popcorn for a total sale of $65. Brian sold 4 pounds of candy, 6 boxes of cookies and 3 cans of popcorn for a total sale of $140. Paulina sold 8 pounds of candy, 8 boxes of cookies and 5 cans of popcorn for a total sales of $250. What is the cost of each item

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of a can of popcorn is $10.

The cost of a box of cookies is $5.

The cost of a can of popcorn is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must propose a system of equations, a set of two or more equations with several unknowns in which you want to find the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are fulfilled.

Defining the variables:

x: cost of one pound of candyy: cost of a box of cookiesz: cost of a can of popcorn

Amy sold 2 pounds of candy, 3 boxes of cookies and 1 can of popcorn for a total sale of $65. Then:

2*x + 3*y + 1*z=65 Equation 1

Brian sold 4 pounds of candy, 6 boxes of cookies and 3 cans of popcorn for a total sale of $140. So:

4*x + 6*y + 3*z=140 Equation 2

Paulina sold 8 pounds of candy, 8 boxes of cookies and 5 cans of popcorn for a total sales of $250. Then:

8*x + 8*y + 5*z=250 Equation 3

Then the system of equations is formed by these three equations.

A method to solve a system of equations is by means of the substitution method, which consists of isolating one of the two unknowns in an equation to substitute it in the other equation.

Isolating z from Equation 1:

[tex]z=65-2*x-3*y[/tex] Equation 4

Replacing in Equation 2:

4*x + 6*y + 3*(65 -2*x-3*y)=140

4*x + 6*y + 195 - 6*x  - 9*y= 140

-2*x - 3*y=140-195

-2*x - 3*y=-55

2*x + 3*y= 55

and isolating x:

[tex]x=\frac{55-3*y}{2}[/tex] Equation 5

Replacing in Equation 4:

[tex]z=65-2*\frac{55-3*y}{2} -3*y[/tex]

z=65 - (55-3*y) - 3*y

z= 65 -55 + 3*y - 3*y

z= 10

So the cost of a can of popcorn is $10.

Replacing equation 5 and the value of z in equation 3:

8*[tex]\frac{55-3*y}{2}[/tex] + 8*y + 5*10=250

[tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex]*(55 -3*y)+ 8*y + 5*10=250

4*(55 -3*y)+ 8*y + 5*10=250

4*55 - 4*3*y + 8*y + 50=250

220 - 12*y + 8*y + 50=250

-12*y + 8*y= 250 -220 - 50

-4*y= -20

[tex]y=\frac{-20}{-4}[/tex]

y= 5

So the cost of a box of cookies is $5.

Finally replacing the value of y in Equation 5 you get the value of x:

[tex]x=\frac{55-3*5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{55-15}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{40}{2}[/tex]

x=20

Finally, the cost of a can of popcorn is $20

A restaurant chef ordered 4 pounds of beef at $3.25 per pound, 6 pounds of potatoes at $1.96 a pound, and 5 pounds of carrots at $1.81 per pound. He estimates that this will make 28 meals. If he charges $20 per meal, how much profit will he make for each meal?

Answers

Answer:

Profit = $18.8 per meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Chef ordered beef = 4 pounds

Cost of beef = $3.25 per pound

Total cost of beef = 4 × 3.25 = $13

Amount of potatoes ordered = 6 pounds

Cost of potatoes = $1.96 per pound

Total cost of potatoes = 6 × 1.96

                                     = $11.76  

Amount of carrots ordered = 5 pounds

Cost of carrots = $1.81 per pound

Total cost of carrots = 5 × 1.81 = $9.05

Total amount of beef, potatoes and carrots = $13 + $11.76 + $9.05

                                                                        = $33.81

Number of meals prepared with material purchased = 28

Per meal cost = [tex]\frac{33.81}{28}[/tex] = $1.2075

Selling price of one meal = $20

Profit per meal = Selling price - Cost price

                         = 20 - 1.2075

                         = 18.7925

                         ≈ $18.8

Therefore, he will make $18.8 for each meal.

Answers

Answer:

5(8x + 6y), 10(4x + 3y), 2(20x + 15y)

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x *8) + (5x *6) = 40x + 30x no

(5 * 8x) + (5 *6y) = 40x + 30y yes

10*40x + 10*30y = 400x + 300y no

10*4x + 10*3y = 40x + 30y yes

2y *20x + 2y*15 = 40xy + 30y no

2*20x + 2*15y = 40x + 30y yes

The expressions that are equivalent to (40x + 30y) is (10(4x + 3y)) and (2(20x + 15y)) and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

Expression  --  (40x + 30y)

The following steps can be used in order to determine the expressions that are equivalent to (40x + 30y):

Step 1 - The arithmetic operations can be used in order to determine the expressions that are equivalent to (40x + 30y).

Step 2 - Take the 10 common in the given expression.

= 40x + 30y

= 10(4x + 3y)

Step 3 - Also can take 2 common in the given expression.

= 40x + 30y

A survey asks students to name their favorite outdoor activity. 12 students say bike riding, 8 students say climbing trees, and 5 students say swimming. Mia says that 40% olf the students say their favorite activity is climbing trees. Is she correct? Explain

Answers

Answer:

Mia is incorrect. 32% of the students say climbing trees is their favorite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of the students that chose climbing trees = number of students that chose climbing trees ÷ total number of students surveyed × 100

Number of students that chose climbing trees = 8

Total number of students = those that chose riding bike + those that chose climbing trees + those that say swimming = 12 + 8 + 5 = 25

Therefore,

% of the students that say climbing trees = [tex] {8}{25}*100 = \frac{800}{25} = 32 [/tex].

Mia is wrong.

32% say climbing trees is their favorite. NOT 40%.

72 + (7x+24) = 180
need to find value of x with steps

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {x = 12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]72 + (7x + 24) = 180[/tex]

Add both [tex]72[/tex] and [tex]24[/tex] together:

[tex]72 + (7x + 24) = 180[/tex]

[tex]96 + 7x = 180[/tex]

-Subtract [tex]96[/tex] to both sides:

[tex]96 - 96 + 7x = 180 - 96[/tex]

[tex]7x = 84[/tex]

-Divide both sides by [tex]7[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{84}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed {x = 12}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]12[/tex].

The value of x in the equation is 12

The given equation is: 72 + (7x+24) = 180

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

1. Expand the terms in the bracket

72 + 7x+ 24 = 180

2. Combine similar terms

7x = 180 - 72 - 24

3. Add similar terms together

7x = 84

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 7

7x / 7 = 84/ 7

x = 12

In order to check if the value of x gotten is correct, substitute for x in the equation

72 + (7(12)+24) = 180

72 + 84 + 24 = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given by :

63.25=800r+3.50

Here,

63.25 is the electric company charges

3.5 is an administrative fee

800 is charge per kilowatt hours

r is rate per kilowatt hour

In this proble, we need to tell that what does r represents. Hence, r shows kilowatt per hour.

We can solve it as follows :

63.25-3.5=800r+3.50-3.50 (Subtracting 3.50 to the both sides)

59.75=800r

Answer: The points C(1,2) and E(2,2) make both inequalities true

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

-----> inequality A

The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area below the dashed line

------> inequality B

The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area above the solid line

The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area between the dashed line and the solid line

see the attached figure

Remember that

If a ordered pair is a solution of the system of inequalities, then the ordered pair must satisfy both inequalities and the point lie on the shaded area of the solution

Plot the points and verify if lie on the shaded area

Let

see the attached figure

The points C(1,2) and E(2,2) lie on the shaded area

The points A(-1,3) and B(0,2) satisfy inequality B but don't satisfy inequality A

The point D(2,-1) satisfy inequality A but don't satisfy inequality B

therefore

The points C(1,2) and E(2,2) make both inequalities true
