Three friends went to Staples for school supplies. Anna bought two notebooks, one pencil, and three
binders for $14.50. Josh bought one notebook, four pencils, and one binder for $7.50. Alex bought 3 notebooks,
two pencils and two binders for $14.50. Find the price of each item by solving a system of three equations
algebraically

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A pencil costs $0.50

A binder costs $3.00

A notebook costs $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Notebook with N, Pencil with P and Binder with B

For Anna:.

2N + P + 3B = 14.50

For Josh:.

N + 4P + B = 7.50

For Alex:

3N + 2P + 2B = 14.50

Required

Solve for N, P and B

Make N the subject in the second equation

N + 4P + B = 7.50

N = 7.50 - 4P - B

Substitute 7.50 - 4P - B for N in the first equation

2N + P + 3B = 14.50

2(7.50 - 4P - B) + P + 3B = 14.50

Open Bracket

15.0 - 8P - 2B + P + 3B = 14.50

Collect like terms

3B - 2B + P - 8P = 14.50 - 15.0

B - 7P = -0.50

B = 7P - 0.50

Substitute 7.50 - 4P - B for N in the third equation

3N + 2P + 2B = 14.50

3(7.50 - 4P - B) + 2P + 2B = 14.50

22.50 - 12P - 3B + 2P + 2B = 14.50

Collect Like Terms

2P -12P + 2B - 3B = 14.50 - 22.50

-10P - B = -8

Multiply through by -1

10P + B = 8

Recall that B = 7P - 0.50

10P + B = 8 becomes

10P + 7P - 0.50 = 8

17P - 0.50 = 8

17P = 8 + 0.50

17P = 8.50

Divide through by 17

P = 8.50/17

P = 0.50

This implies that a pencil costs $0.50

Substitute 0.50 for P in B = 7P - 0.50

B = 7 * 0.50 - 0.50

B = 3.50 - 0.50

B = 3.00

This implies that a binder costs $3.00

Substitute 3.00 for B and 0.50 for P in N = 7.50 - 4P - B

N = 7.50 - 4 * 0.50 - 3.00

N = 7.50 - 2.00 - 3.00

B = 2.50

This implies that a notebook costs $2.50

14) At a school 5/8 of the teachers are male
There are 72 teachers
work out how many teachers are female

Answers

If 5/8 of the teachers are males, there are 45 male teachers.

Subtract this value from 72 (i.e., find 3/8 of 72), and you will find that there are 27 female teachers.

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

72 ÷ 8 = 9. Every 9 teachers is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]. Since there are [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]teachers that are male, 9 x 5 = 45 female teachers, which leaves 25 male as well

1. Delia purchased a new car for $23,350. This make and model straight line depreciates to zero after 13 years.
a. Identify the coordinates of the x- and y- intercepts for the depreciation equation.
b. Determine the slope of the depreciation.
c. Write the straight-line depreciation equation that models this situation.

Answers

Answer:

a. y-intercept = 23350 and x-intercept = 13

b. [tex]m = -\frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

c. [tex]y = -\frac{23350}{13}x + 23350[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Years = 13[/tex]

[tex]Total\ depreciation = \$23350[/tex]

Solving (a): The x and y intercepts

The y intercept is the initial depreciation value

i.e. when x = 0

This value is the value of the car when it was initially purchased.

Hence, the y-intercept = 23350

The x intercept is the year it takes to finish depreciating

i.e. when y = 0

From the question, we understand that it takes 13 years for the car to totally get depreciated.

Hence, the x-intercept = 13

Solving (b): The slope

The slope (m) is the rate of depreciation per year

This is calculated by dividing the total depreciation by the duration.

So:

[tex]m = \frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

Because it is depreciation, it means the slope represents a deduction.

So,

[tex]m = -\frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

Solving (c): The straight line equation

The general format of an equation is:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = slope[/tex]

[tex]b = y\ intercept[/tex]

In (a), we have that:

[tex]y\ intercept = 23350[/tex]

In (b), we have that:

[tex]Slope\ (m) = -\frac{23350}{13}[/tex]

Substitute these values in [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{23350}{13}x + 23350[/tex]

Hence, the depreciation equation is: [tex]y = -\frac{23350}{13}x + 23350[/tex]

A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 4 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the angle between the observer's line-of-sight and the horizontal is pi/6, and it is changing at a rate of 0.1 rad/min. How fast is the balloon rising at this moment?

Answers

Answer:

0.533 miles/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate how fast  the balloon is rising at the moment : dy /dt

location from the lift-off point = 4 miles

angle between the observer's line-of-sight and the horizontal ( ∅ )  = [tex]\frac{\pi }{6}[/tex]

d∅ / dt = 0.1 rad/min

tan ∅ = y / 4

derivate

sec^2 ∅ . d∅ / dt  = 1/4 . dy/dt

= sec^2 [tex]\frac{\pi }{6}[/tex] . 0.1 = 1/4 . dy/dt

= ( sec^2 0.5238 * 0.1 ) * 4 = dy/dt

dy/dt = 8 / 15  miles/min

The area of circle with radius of 2 yd (the length of the rope) is:

A = π*r² = 3.14*2² = 12.56 yd²

Since 1/4 of the circle is occupied by the shed, the area of the grass is:

12.56*3/4 = 9.42 yd²

Part B

Let the area be 30 yd², finding the r as per above formula:

There is -70% change when value change from 10 to 3.

What is percentage?

Percentage is a part of the whole number. It is denoted by % sign.

1 %= 1/100.

The original value is 10,

The value is change to 3

The difference of changed value and original value =  3 - 10 = -7

The percentage of change = (-7/10)x100

                                             = -70%

The change in percent is -70%, negative sign shows that value decreases.
