Andrea bought 1 2/5 pounds of avocados at $4.20 per pound and ​ 2 1/
4 ​pounds of asparagus at $3.80 per pound.

What was her total cost?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$14.43¢

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given; [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] pounds, 1 pound = $4.20 and [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] pounds,1 pound = $3.80 that Andrea bought.

Now we need to find her total cost. To do that, we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] to a decimal. It is 1.4. Now we can set up a graph.

Avocados

[tex]\frac{4.2}{1}=\frac{x}{1.4}[/tex]

Switch sides

[tex]\frac{x}{1.4}=\frac{4.2}{1}[/tex]

Apply rule: [tex]\frac{a}{1}=a[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{1.4}=4.2[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 1.4

[tex]\frac{1.4x}{1.4}=4.2\cdot \:1.4[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x=5.88[/tex]

So, her cost for avocados is $5.88¢

Now we must first find the cost of the avocados. To do so, let us set up a graph. But before that is done, convert [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] to a decimal. It is 2.25. Now we can set up a graph.

Asparagus

[tex]\frac{3.8}{1}=\frac{x}{2.25}[/tex]

Switch sides

[tex]\frac{x}{2.25}=\frac{3.8}{1}[/tex]

Apply rule : [tex]\frac{a}{1}=a[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{2.25}=3.8[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2.25

[tex]\frac{2.25x}{2.25}=3.8\cdot \:2.25[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x=8.55[/tex]

So, her cost for asparagus is $8.55¢

Total cost

Now that we have found out how much both of the fruits Andrea bought costs, we need to sum it up (meaning add it) to find the total cost:

$5.88¢ + 8.55¢ =

5.88 + 8.55 = 14.43

Therefore, Andrea's total cost of the fruits is $14.43¢

There are 20 questions in a quiz. Each correct answer scores 7 points, each wrong answer scores -4 points and each question left blank scores 0 points. Eric took the quiz and scored 100 points. How many questions did he left blank?.

Answers

Answer:    1  question left blank

He answered 16 questions correctly, and got 3 wrong answers.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let

x = number of questions that are correct y = number of wrong answers z = number of questions left blank

x,y,z are nonnegative whole numbers.

-------------------

Since there are 20 questions total, this means the first equation to set up is:

x+y+z = 20

Solving for y leads to

x+y+z = 20

y+z = 20-x

y = 20-x-z

We'll use this later.

-------------------

Another equation to set up is 7x-4y = 100 because Eric earns 7 points per correct answer and loses 4 points for each incorrect answer, and all that leads to 100 points total which was his quiz score. We'll ignore the questions he left blank since they add 0 points.

Let's plug the equation in which we isolated y

7x-4y = 100  

7x-4(20-x-z) = 100

7x-80+4x+4z = 100

7x+4x+4z = 100+80

11x+4z = 180

-------------------

Now we can guess and check to see which pair of x and z values will make that last equation above true. I suggest starting with the smallest possible value of x and using that x value to solve for z.

If x = 0, then,

11x+4z = 180

11(0)+4z = 180

4z = 180

z = 180/4

z = 45

So if Eric got 0 correct answers, then he left 45 questions blank. But that isn't possible because there are only 20 questions total. So we'll ignore the case that x = 0.

If we increase x by 4, and decrease z by 11, then we get another ordered pair solution to this equation

So another solution is (x,z) = (4,34)

Note that

11x+4y = 180

11(4) + 4(34) = 180

But like before, z = 34 isn't possible since 20 is the max.

Increase x by 4 again, and drop z by 11 to get (x,z) = (8,23). Again we run into the same issue as before.

Increase x by 4 again, and decrease z by 11 to get (x,z) = (12, 12). Now we have both x and z smaller than 20, but note how x+z = 12+12 = 24 which exceeds the total number of questions. So we rule this case out as well.

Do another round of "increase x by 4, decrease z by 11" to get to (x,z) = (16, 1). This is the only case left because anything beyond this, z will be negative.

Luckily, this final case does work. If Eric answers x = 16 questions correctly, then he left z = 1 of them blank. That must mean y = 20-x-z = 20-16-1 = 3 questions were incorrect.

We can see that:

7x-4y = 7(16)-4(3) = 112-12= 100

meaning that (x,y) = (16,3) is a solution to 7x-4y = 100.

-------------------

To summarize, we found that the only possible solution is (x,y,z) = (16, 3, 1)

Meaning x = 16 questions were correct, y = 3 were wrong, and z = 1 question was left blank.

If the height of the parallelogram shown is increased by 1 cm and the base is increased by 2 cm, what is the area of the new parallelogram?

A parallelogram with a base of 9 centimeters and a height of 4 centimeters.
28 cm2
39 cm2
55 cm2
60 cm2

My main problem: The base isn't at the top, so therefore I am confused. It should be on top of the shape but it is not. If it was I could figure it out.

Answers

So sorry I messed it up I let you down :(

Answer:

55 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the top base is equal to the bottom base (and the sides are equal to each other too!)

So the top and bottom base are both 9, and the left and right sides are both 5.

So, to solve, we need to use the equation:

(4 + 1) * (9 + 2) = 5 * 11 = 55 cm²

Amari claims that a rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a
rectangle. Is she correct? Explain if you agree or disagree with her and why.

Answers

Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a figure of four sides, such that opposite sides are parallel

A rectangle is a four-sided figure such that all internal angles are 90°

Here, the statement is:

"A rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a

rectangle."

Here if we found a parallelogram that is not a rectangle, then that is enough to prove that the statement is false.

The counterexample is a rhombus, which is a parallelogram that has two internal angles smaller than 90° and two internal angles larger than 90°, then this parallelogram is not a rectangle, then the statement is false.

The correct statement would be:

"A parallelogram is sometimes a rectangle, but a rectangle is always a parallelogram"

Answer:

61%

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We are changing the percent from 56 down to 22

2) This means that there will be a negative change in percent

3) This is because the new value (22) is smaller than the old value (56)

4) We must find the change from 56 to 22 in a percent

1) Find the difference between 56 and 22 as a number.

The difference between 56 and 22 is 34

2) Divide the result from Step 1 by the starting number 56.

34 ÷ 56 = 0.60714285714

3) Multiply the result from Step 2 by 100 to get it in terms of percent.

0.60714285714 x 100 = 60.71

4) Round the result from step 3 to the nearest percent.

60.71 ≈ 61%

Make sure you round to the nearest whole percent. In this case it would be 61%

Find the missing value so that the line passing through the 2 points has the given slope.
(-7,-3) and (-1. y); slope: 1

Answers

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of a line passing through the points ( x ₁ , y₁) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) is ,

→ Slope ( m ) = ( y₂ - y₁) / ( x₂ - x ₁ )

The points here are (-7,-3) and (-1,y) . Using formula of the slope , we have ,

→ m = -3 - y / -7 - (-1)

→ 1 = -(3+y)/ -7+1

→ 1 = -(3+y) / -6

→ 6 = 3 + y

→ y = 6 - 3

y = 3

Hence the value of y is 3 .

who attended the parade.

PLEASEEE HELP

Answers

Answer:

The estimated number of children who attended the parade is 6,336.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the route for Millburn's Fourth of July parade stretches 2 miles (10,560 feet), and spectators are usually evenly distributed along both sides of the route, and along one side of 50 feet of the route, you count 15 children, to estimate the number of children who attended the parade, the following calculation must be performed:

(10,560 / 50) = 211.2

211.2 x 15 x 2 = X

211.2 x 30 = X

6.336 = X

Therefore, the estimated number of children who attended the parade is 6,336.
