I sell cookies for $3 and muffins for $7. Yesterday, I made $129. I sold a total of 27 items. How many of each did I sell?

Answers

Answer 1
You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins.

c - cookies
m - muffins

c + m = 27

3c + 7m = 129

I don’t know how to explain how to do efficiently but I just plugged in numbers until it worked:

3(15) + 7(12) = 129

45 + 84 = 129
Answer 2

Answer:

You sold 15 cookies and 12 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

So you're given that 1 cookie is sold for $3 and 1 muffin is sold for $7

You're also given that in total you made $129, and sold 27 items

Let's make equations from that, letting c stand for amount of cookies and m for amount of muffins.

3c + 7m = 129 (equation for amount of money made)c + m = 27 (equation for amount of items sold)

Now we can use the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

m = 27 - c

Not we can substitute m into the first equation to find c:

3c + 7m = 129                  

3c + 7(27-c) = 129            [substitute m for (27-c)]

3c + 189 -7c = 129           [distribute 7 into (27-c)]

-4c + 189 = 129                [combine like terms]

-4c = -60                          [subtract 189 from both sides]

c = 15                               [divide both sides by -4]

Now we can substitute c into the second equation to find m:

c + m = 27

15 + m = 27

m = 12

Are the lines y = –x – 4 and 5x -5y = 20 perpendicular? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes = - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

5x - 5y = 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 5y = - 5x + 20 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

Thus product of their slopes is - 1 × 1 = - 1

Therefore the lines are perpendicular

In the diagram shown below, parallel lines m and n are crossed by transversals r and s. Which of the following is the sum of angles 1 and 2 pictured?

Answers

Answer:

3. 151°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since m and n are parallel, therefore:

m<1 + 75° = 180° (consecutive exterior angles are supplementary)

Subtract 75 from each side

m<1 = 180 - 75

m<1 = 105°

m<2 = 46° (corresponding angles are congruent)

Sum of <1 and <2 = 105° + 46° = 151°

You are shopping for school supplies and want to decide where you should buy pencils from. SupplyCo sells a 10 pack of pencils for $0.95. SchoolShop sells a 10 pack of pencils for $1.45 but you have a $3.00 coupon. How many packs of pencils would you have to buy for the prices to be the same at each store?

Answers

Answer:

120 (60 from each store)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price for 10 pack of pencils at SupplyCo = $0.95

Price for 10 pack of pencils at SchoolShop = $1.45

Discount coupon at SchoolShop = $3.00

Let the number of packs of pencils bought = [tex]2x[/tex] (in pack of 10)

Then [tex]x[/tex] will be the number of packs of 10 bought at each store.

Therefore, price at SupplyCo for [tex]x[/tex] packs (in pack of 10) = [tex]0.95x[/tex]

And price at SchoolShop for [tex]x[/tex] packs (in pack of 10) = [tex]1.45x-3.00[/tex] (because there is a coupon of $3.00)

As per question statement, price at both the stores is same:

[tex]0.95x=1.44x-3\\\Rightarrow 0.5x=3\\\Rightarrow x=6[/tex]

Therefore, number of packs bought = [tex]2x\times 10 = 2\times 6\times 10 =\bold{120}[/tex] (60 from each store)

its an equilateral triangle so all sides are equal, if one angle is 10x+20,then the rest are each 10x+20.This is a triangle and it adds up to 180 degrees. So in total, (10x+20)×3=30x+60.So you do this, 30x +60=180 degrees, you take the sixty to the other side and subtract it from 180 ,you'll get 120 degrees, then divide 120by 30x

The midpoint of AB is M ( 1 , − 3 ). If the coordinates of A A are ( − 6 , − 7 ),what are the coordinates of B?

Answers

Answer:

a= -4

b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint=(1,-3)=(x,y)

A=(-6,-7)=(x1,y1)

Let ,the coordinates of B be 'a and b' .

So,

B=(a,b)=(x2,y2)

Using ,midpoint formula,

(x,y)=(x1+x2\2 , y1+y2 \2)

or, (1,-3)=(-6+a\2 , -7+b \2)

Now,

Taking the corresponding sides,

or, 1 =-6+a/2

or, 1*2=6+a

or, 2=6+a

or, 2-6=a

a=-4

Then,

-3= -7+b/2

or, -3*2= -7+b

or, -6 =-7+b

or, -6+7=b

b=1

Suppose that in an alternate universe, the gambler's fallacy is true: the more a gambler loses, the more likely she is to win the next game. To be precise, if the gambler loses a game, she will win the next game with probability 3/4. If the gambler wins the game, she will win the next game with probability 1/2.

Answers

Answer and explanation:

The gambler's fallacy is the fallacy of belief that if an event such as a loss occurs more frequently in the past, it is less likely to happen in the future. We assume here that this belief is true, therefore

If she loses, her probability of winning increases =3/4

If she wins, her probability to win is normal =1/2

Given that probability of winning is 1/2

Probability of losing is 1-1/2=1/2

Probability that she wins the tournament is probability that she wins the first two games and loses the last or wins the first game, loses the second and wins the last or loses the first game and wins the last two games or probability that she wins all three games

=1/2*1/2*1/2+1/2*1/2*3/4+1/2*3/4*1/2+1/2*1/2*1/2

=25/48

Probability of winning the tournament if she loses the first game

=1/2*3/4*1/2= 3/16

Note: whenever there is "or" in probability, you add

Read the information in the box below. Last year during the hurricane season, the amount of rain that fell on the Texas Gulf Coast in October was 14 inches, which was 312times more than the rainfall during September of the same year. How much rain fell during the month of September?

Answers

Answer: 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Last year during the hurricane season, the amount of rain that fell on the Texas Gulf Coast in October was 14 inches, which was 3 1/2times more than the rainfall during September of the same year.

The amount of rain that fell during the month of September can be calculated as:

= 14 inches ÷ 3 1/2

= 14 ÷ 7/2

= 14 × 2/7

= 28/7

= 4 inches

The rain that fell during the month of September was 4 inches.
