Charlene owns a bookstore. She purchases used books from customers. • She pays $3.50 for each hardback book. • She pays $0.75 for each paperback book. • Charlene pays a customer a total of $199.75 for 149 used books. Which system of equations could be used to determine the number of hardback books (x) and the number of paperback books (y) Charlene purchases from the customer?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Number of hardback = 32

Number of paperback = 117

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hardback books be represented by x.

Let the number of paperback books be represented by y.

Based on the information given, we can form an equation which will be:

x + y = 149 ......... i

3.50x + 0.75y = 199.75 ...... ii

Multiply equation i by 3.50

Multiply equation ii by 1

3.50x + 3.50y = 521.50 ...... iii

3.50x + 0.75y = 199.75 .....iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

2.75y = 321.75

y = 321.75 / 2.75

y = 117

Number of paperback = 117

Since x + y = 149

x = 149 - y

x = 149 - 117

x = 32

Number of hardback = 32

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of
500 and a standard deviation of 60. Find the z-score
of an SAT score of 380.

Answers

Answer:

the z-score for the sat score of 380 is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the way i got this is you got to take the standard deviation value and subtract it from the mean since the value 380 is less than 500.

500-60=440-60=380

so the answer would be a z-score of 2

What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 6.6 cm, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter?

Answers

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The volume of a sphere with a radius of 6.6 cm, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter is 1204.3.

What is volume?

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula (4/3)πR³, where R is the radius of the circle. Since the radius of the sphere is 6.6 cm, the volume of the sphere will be,

Volume of Sphere = (4/3) × π × (6.6cm)³ = 1204.26 cm³ ≈ 1204.3³

Hence, the volume of a sphere with a radius of 6.6 cm, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter is 1204.3.

Michelle invested $10,000 in an account that earns 8.5% interest that is compounded monthly. Determine the amount of money in the account in 15 years

Answers

Given:

The principal value = $10,000

Rate of interest = 8.5% compounded monthly.

To find:

The amount of money in the account in 15 years.

Solution:

The formula for amount is:

[tex]A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

Where, P is principal, r is the rate of interest in decimal, n is the number of times interest compounded in an year, t is the number of years.

Number of months in an year is 12. So, n=12.

Substitute [tex]P=10000, r=0.085, n=12, t=15[/tex] in the above formula.

[tex]A=10000\left(1+\dfrac{0.085}{12}\right)^{12(15)}[/tex]

[tex]A=10000\left(\dfrac{12.085}{12}\right)^{180}[/tex]

[tex]A=35626.53335[/tex]

[tex]A\approx 35626.53[/tex]

Therefore, the amount of money in the account in 15 years is $35626.53.

Suppose that among all U.S. Students, 80% have gone to an amusement park and 45% have gone to a beach. Only 15% have done neither. If you select a student at random, what is the probability that the student has gone to the beach but not to an amusement park

Answers

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the percentage of people that have gone to both the park and the beach.

The percentage of people that have gone only to the amusement park = 80% - x% = 80 - x

The percentage of people that have gone only to the beach = 45% - x% = 45 - x

Therefore:

100% = (80 - x) + (45 - x) + (x) + (15)

100 = 80 + 45 + 15 -x - x + x

100 = 140 - x

x = 140 - 100

x = 40%

Therefore 40% of the students have gone to both the park and the beach.

The probability that the student has gone to the beach but not to an amusement park = 45% - 40% = 5%

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. The measure of <1 = (2x+8) and the measure of <2 = (8x + 22). What is the measure of <1?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Since the given problem states that the two angles, angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair, this means that they form a 180° line, so that:

measure angle 1 + measure angle 2 = 180°

Since measure of angle 2 is six more than twice the measure of angle 1, therefore:

measure angle 2 = 2 (measure angle 1) + 6

hence, substituting this into the first equation:

measure angle 1 + 2 (measure angle 1) + 6 = 180

3 (measure angle 1) = 174

measure angle 1 = 58°

Therefore,

measure angle 2 = 2 (measure angle 1) + 6

measure angle 2 = 2 (58°) + 6

measure angle 2 = 122*

A 2.20 x 10-6 F capacitor is hooked
up to a 14.0 V power supply. How
much energy is stored in the

Answers

Answer:

[tex]E=2.15\times 10^{-4}\ J[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The capacitance of the capacitor, [tex]C=2.2\times 10^{-6}\ F[/tex]

Voltage of the power supply, V = 14 V

We need to find the energy stored in the capacitor.

The formula for the stored energy in the capacitor is given by :

[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.2\times 10^{-6}\times 14^2\\\\E=2.15\times 10^{-4}\ J[/tex]

So, [tex]2.15\times 10^{-4}\ J[/tex] of energy is stored in the capacitor.

Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

the can is shaped like a cylinder

first step is to find the radius and then multiply the figure by 2

volume of a cylinder = nr^2h

n = 22/7

r = radius

903 = 11.5 x r^2 x 3.14

r^2 = 903 / (3.14 x 11.5)

r = 5 cm
