A roofing contractor buys 30 bundles of shingles and 4

rolls of roofing paper for $1040.

In a second purchase (at the same prices), the

contractor buys 12 bundles of shingles and 16 rolls of

roofing paper for $2000.

Create and solve a system of equations in order to

determine how much each bundle of shingles (x) and

roll of roofing paper (y) would cost

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of one bundle of shingles is $20 and cost of one roll of roofing paper is $110.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of each bundle of shingles = x

And cost of the roofing paper = y

Contractor buys 30 bundles of shingles and 4 rolls of roofing paper for $1040.

30x + 4y = 1040

15x + 2y = 520 -----(1)

In a second purchase contractor buys 12 bundles of shingles and 16 rolls of roofing paper for $2000

12x + 16y = 2000

3x + 4y = 500 --- (2)

Equation (1) multiplied by 2 then subtracted from equation (2)

(3x + 4y) - 2(15x + 2y) = 500 - 1040

(3x - 30x) + (4y - 4y) = -540

-27x = -540

x = 20

From equation (1)

15(20) + 2y = 520

300 + 2y = 520

2y = 220

y = 110

Therefore, cost of one bundle of shingles is $20 and cost of one roll of roofing paper is $110.

Pancake Palace puts a pint of maple syrup on each one of their 16 tables. The owner is filling the syrup bottles before the restaurant opens. If the bottles are half full, how many quarts would he need to fill the bottles?

Answers

Answer:

64 quarts of maple syrup needed

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 2 quarts in a 1 pint. Therefore, since there are a total of 16 tables and each one has 1 pint, then there are a total of 16 pints in the restaurant. If we multiply this by 2 we get the total amount of quarts of maple syrup in all of the tables

16 * 2 = 32 quarts of maple syrup

Since the bottles are only half full we need to multiply this amount by 2 in order to get the total syrup needed to have all of the bottles filled completely.

32 * 2 = 64 quarts of maple syrup needed

Answer:

4 Quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find how much maple syrup the owner needs to fill the bottles. But first, you need to find how much syrup the bottles hold in all.

There are 16 bottles. Each bottle holds 1 pint of maple syrup. So, the bottles hold a total of 16 pints of syrup.

Now, find how much maple syrup the owner needs. The bottles hold a total of 16 pints of syrup. Because they are half full, divide by 2.

16÷2=8

The owner needs 8 pints of maple syrup, but the problem asks about quarts. So, find how many quarts are equal to 8 pints. There are 2 pints in a quart, so divide by 2.

8÷2=4

The owner needs 4 quarts of maple syrup to fill the bottles.

Sandra buys stamps that cost $0.65 each she spends a total of $158.60 on the stamps. To determine how many stamps she buys, she needs to divide $158.60 by $0.65

Answers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When she divides both numbers, she can find out how many stamps she bought. When you solve the equation, we can see that she bought 244 stamps. We can check this by doing inverse operations. 244 x 0.65 (the price for each stamp) = 158.60

The demand d for a company’s product at cost x is predicted by the function d(x) = 500 – 2x. The price p in dollars that the company can charge for the product is given by p(x) = x + 5. Use the formula Revenue = price × demand to find the revenue function for the product.


R(x) = ________ + ________ x – _______ x^2

Answers

Answer:

-2x²+490x+2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Demand, D(x) = 500-2x

The price for the product, P(x) = x+5

We need to find the revenue for the product. The formula for the revenue is given by :

Revenue = price × demand

Substitute all the values,

R = (x+5)(500-2x)

= 500x -2x² + 2500 -10x

= -2x²+490x+2500

So, the expression for the revenue function is "-2x²+490x+2500".

A savings account starts with $181.25. After 7 years of continuous compounding at an interest rate, r, the account has $1450. What is the interest rate percentage? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

         Rate of interest by which amount $181.25 becomes $1450 in 7 years by continuous compounding will be 29.71%.

Rule for the continuous compounding: Expression for the final amount comounded continuously is given by,

         Final amount = [tex]Pe^{rt}[/tex]

         Here, P = Principal amount

                    r = Rate of interest

                    t = Duration of investment

Given in the question,

P = $181.25

t = 7 years

Final amount = $1450

Substitute these values in the expression,

[tex]1450=181.25e^{7r}[/tex]

[tex]e^{7r}=8[/tex]

[tex]\text{ln}(e)^{7r}=\text{ln}(8)[/tex]

[tex]7r=2.07944[/tex]

[tex]r=0.2971[/tex]

[tex]r=29.71\%[/tex]

       Therefore, rate of intereset for the investment is 29.71%.

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a function:

g(x)=19.60+1.74x

Plug x = 30

g(30) = 19.60+1.74(30)

g(30) = 19.60 + 52.2

One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 777 calories. Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contain 783 calories. Find the caloric content of each candy bar.

Answers

Answer:

A has 263 calories

B has 257 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

system of equations:

a + 2b = 777

2a + b = 783

I multiplied the first equation by -2 to eliminate the 'a' terms

  -2a - 4b = -1554

+ 2a  + b =    783

         -3b = -771

b = 257

solve for 'a'

a + 2(257) = 777

a + 514 = 777

a = 263
