A used bookstore sells hardback books and paperback books. A hardback book costs $11, including tax. A paperback book costs $5, including tax. Jamal bought 3 more paperback books than hardback books. Jamal spent $47. How many paperback books did Jamal buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question:

A used bookstore sells hardback books and paperback books. A hardback book costs $11, including tax. A paperback book costs $5, including tax. Jamal spent $47.

Let the number of paper backs = p

Let the number rod hardbacks = h

Hence:

$11 × h + $5 × p = $47

11h + 5p = 47

Jamal bought 3 more paperback books than hardback books.

h + 3 = p

h = p - 3

How many paperback books did Jamal buy?

Hence:

11h + 5p = 47

11(p - 3) + 5p = 47

11p - 33 + 5p = 47

16p = 47 + 33

16p = 80

p = 80/16

p = 5

Hence, he bought 5 paper back books

Answers


60 is 25% of 240 and 12 is 24% of 50

25% is a fourth of 100%. So you want to find what number 60 is a fourth of. Multiply 60 by 4.
60x4=240

24% is 4.17th of 100%. Multiply 12 by 4.17

eight packs of pencils and two packs of crayons cost $30.if 7 packs of crayons cost $21, what is the ratio of the rice of the pack of crayons to the price of the packs fo pencils?

Answers

p = number of pencil packs c = number of crayon packs

8p + 2c = 30
7c = 21

c = $3
One pack of crayons costs $3.00

Plug 3 into the top equation for the value of c and evaluate for p.
8p + 6= 30
- 6= -6
8p = 24
p = $3
One pack of pencils costs $3.00

The ratio of the price of the pack of crayons to the pack of pencils is 1:1.

X^3-4x^2+3x+2=0 find all the real values of x

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor of the polynomial is (x-2)

We know that dividing a third degree polynomial by a first degree factor will yield a quadratic of the form ax²+bx+c and possibly a remainder r,except that in this case r=0 since x-2 is a factor

We therefore equate

x³-4x²+3x+2=(x-2)(ax²+bx+c)+r

x³-4x²+3x+2=ax³+bx²+cx-2ax²-2bx-2c+r

We group terms on the RHS

x³-4x²+3x+2=ax³+x²(b-2a)+x(c-2b)-2c+r

By equating the terms on both sides,

ax³=x³,a=1

Next,

b-2a=-4

b-2(1)=-4

b-2=-4

b=-4+2

b=-2

Next,

c-2b=3

c-2(-2)=3

c+4=3

c=-1

Now we piece together our quotient quadratic using a=1,b=-2,c=-1 to obtain x²-2x-1

We now find the zeros of x²-2x-1

which are 1+√2 and 1-√2

The values of x are therefore 2,1+√2, and 1-√2

Note that I used this method in lieu of the famous polynomial division approach to teach someone also ;)

Answer:

2, 1 +/- sqrt2

or 2, 2.414, -0.414 (correct to the nearest thousandth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 2: then

f(2) = 8 - 16 + 6 + 2 = 0

So x = 2 is one  of the zeros.

So one factor of the function is x-2.

If we divide  the function by  (x - 2) we get:

x-2)X^3-4x^2+3x+2(x^2-2x-1

     x^3- 2x^2

            -2x^2+3x

            -2x^2+4x

                       -x+2

                       -x+2

                        .......

So x^2-2x-1= 0

x = [-(-2 +/- sqrt(4 - 4*-1)] / 2

x = (2 +/- sqrt8) / 2

= 1 +/-sqrt8/2

= 1 +/- sqrt2

What is parallelogram?

In two-dimensional geometry, it is a plane shape having four sides, in which two pairs of sides are parallel to each other and equal in length. The sum of all angles in a parallelogram is 360°.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

We have:

Archaeologists are studying a shipwreck on the ocean floor. The wreck site is roughly shaped like a parallelogram.

From the table:

The vertex of the P is (9, 2)

The vertex of the Q is (-8, 2)

The vertex of the R is (-7, 7)

The vertex of the S is unknown

From the distance formula we can find the distance between points P and Q:

The distance formula can be defined as the formula for finding the distance between two points. It has given the shortest path distance between two points.

The distance formula can be given as:

[tex]\rm d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm PQ = \sqrt{(-8-(-9))^2+(2-2)^2}[/tex]

PQ = 17 units

[tex]\rm QR = \sqrt{(-7-(-8))^2+(7-2)^2}[/tex]

QR = 5.09 ≈ 5 units

The area of the wreck site = 17x5

The area of the wreck site = 85 square m

Thus, the area of the wreck site is 85 square m if Archaeologists are studying a shipwreck on the ocean floor.

6-pint container of window dieener for $3.84

Answers

Answer:

6-pint container of window clearer for $3.84 is a better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

141-fuid-ounce container of window clearer for  $7.05

7.05 : 141 = 0.05

check your work: 0.05 x 141 = 7.05

so for the first offer you will be paying $0.05 per ounce of window clearer.

6-pint container of window clearer for $3.84

1 pint = 16 ounces

6 pints = 96 ounces

3.84 : 96 = 0.04

check your work: 0.04 x 96 = 3.84

for the second offer you will be paying $0.04 per ounce of window clearer. 6-pint container of window clearer for $3.84 is a better buy because you will be paying less for each ounce of window clearer.

Answer:

the 6-pint container would be cheaper...hope this helps :)
