can you figure out the missing number

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:

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

Answer:

c. 5 time the square root of 3

Answer: X = 5/4

X/2 + 3/8 = 1

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

X/2 = 1 - 3/8

Simplify 1 - 3/8

X/2 = 5/8

Multiply both sides by 2.

X = 10/8

Simplify 10/8

X = 5/4

Answer:

x=5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

Then simplify.

Multiply both sides by 2.

And then simplify again.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:  [tex]\dfrac{61}{97}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let V = Event of selecting vegetarian employee

N =  Event of selecting employee who owns a Nissan Leaf.

Given: Total employees = 97

n(V) = 31

n(N) = 36

n(N and V) = 6

By formula,

n(N or V) = n(V) + n(V) - n(N and V)

= 31+36-6

=61

By probability formula,

[tex]P(N \ or \ V)=\dfrac{n(N\ or\ V)}{Total }\\\\=\dfrac{61}{97}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the employee is vegetarian or that she/he owns a Nissan Leaf =  [tex]\dfrac{61}{97}[/tex]

Answer:

About $20.30

Step-by-step explanation:

$466.90 divided by 23.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first-day ride be x

Then the second-day ride will be =1.5 x

The third-day ride will be=1.5(1.5x)      

The Fourth-day ride will be=1.5*1.5(1.5x)  

hence for the four days the distance covered is

65=x+1.5x+1.5*1.5x+1.5*1.5*1.5x

65=x+1.5x+2.25x+3.375x

65=8.125x

divide both sides by 8.125 we have

x=65/8.125

x=8mile

the first-day ride be x=8miles

the second-day ride will be =1.5 x =1.5*8= 12miles

The third-day ride will be=1.5(1.5x) = 18miles

The Fourth-day ride will be=1.5*1.5(1.5x) = 27miles

Answer:

They will finish packing boxes at the same time after 91 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Kaitlin takes 13 minutes to pack a box while Ambrose takes 7 minutes to pack a box. That is,

Kaitlin will finish packing a box after every 13 minutes and Ambrose will finish packing a box after every 7 minutes.

To determine when they will finish packing boxes at the same time, we will list the times they will finish packing boxes

For Kaitlin, she will finish packing box(es) at the following times:

13th minute, 26th minute, 39th minute, 52nd minute, 65th minute, 78th minute, 91st minute, 104th minute etc.

For Ambrose, he will finish packing box(es) at the following times:

7th minute, 14th minute, 21st minute, 28th minute, 35th minute, 42nd minute, 49th minute, 56th minute, 63rd minute, 70th minute, 77th minute, 84th minute, 91st minute, 98th minute, 105th minute etc.

From above, we can observe that, Ambrose and Kaitlin will finish packing boxes at the 91st minute.

Hence, They will finish packing boxes at the same time after 91 minutes.

Answer:

y = (1/3)x - 27 <-- perpendicular line

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 3y = (-27)

3x + y = (-27)

y = (-3x) - 27 <-- original line

y = (-3x) - 27 <-- original line

slope = (-3)

slope = (-3/1)

inverse = (1/-3)

negative inverse = (1/3)

y = (1/3)x - 27 <-- perpendicular line

Given:

The system of equations that represent the constraints for the given situation is

[tex]x+y=4.25[/tex]

[tex]16.90x+4y=36.35[/tex]

To find:

The solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]x+y=4.25[/tex]           ...(i)

[tex]16.90x+4y=36.35[/tex]           ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 4.

[tex]4x+4y=17[/tex]           ...(iii)

Subtracting (iii) from (ii), we get

[tex]16.90x+4y-(4x+4y)=36.35-17[/tex]

[tex]16.90x+4y-4x-4y=19.35[/tex]

[tex]12.90x=19.35[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12.90.

[tex]x=\dfrac{19.35}{12.90}[/tex]

[tex]x=1.5[/tex]

Put this value in (i).

[tex]1.5+y=4.25[/tex]

[tex]y=4.25-1.5[/tex]

[tex]y=2.75[/tex]

The solution of system of equations is x=1.5 and y=2.75. It means, the yards of silk are 1.5 and yards of cotton are 2.75.
