A store is having a sale on almonds and jelly beans. For 8 pounds of almonds and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $18 . For 2 pounds of almonds and 5 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $13 . Find the cost for each pound of almonds and each pound of jelly beans.

Answers

Answer 1
8a + 3j = 18
2a + 5j = 13....multiply by -4
--------------
8a + 3j = 18
-8a - 20j = - 52 (result of multiplying by -4)
-------------add
-17j = - 34
j = -34/-17
j = 2 <=== jelly beans cost $ 2.00 per lb

8a + 3j = 18
8a + 3(2) = 18
8a + 6 = 18
8a = 18 - 6
8a = 12
a = 12/8
a = 1.50 <=== almonds cost $ 1.50 per lb
Answer 2

By setting up a system of equations and solving them, we find that the cost per pound of almonds is $1.50, and the cost per pound of jelly beans is $2.00.

To find the cost for each pound of almonds and each pound of jelly beans, we can set up two equations to solve the problem algebraically. Let's denote the cost per pound of almonds as a and the cost per pound of jelly beans as b. We have two scenarios provided:

8 pounds of almonds and 3 pounds of jelly beans cost a total of $18.

2 pounds of almonds and 5 pounds of jelly beans cost a total of $13.

We can translate these scenarios into two algebraic equations:

8a + 3b = 18

2a + 5b = 13

Now, we will solve this system of equations to find the values of a and b.

Step 1: Multiply Equation (2) by 4

8a + 20b = 52 (We multiplied all terms by 4 to match the coefficient of a in Equation (1))

Step 2: Subtract Equation (1) from the new equation

8a + 20b - (8a + 3b) = 52 - 18

17b = 34

Step 3: Solve for b

b = 34 / 17

b = 2

Now we know each pound of jelly beans costs $2.

Step 4: Substitute b back into Equation (1) to solve for a

8a + 3(2) = 18

8a + 6 = 18

8a = 12

a = 12 / 8

a = 1.5

So, each pound of almonds costs $1.50.

Therefore, the cost per pound of almonds is $1.50, and the cost per pound of jelly beans is $2.00.

The floor of a conference hall can be covered completly with tiles.Its length is 36ft. longer than its width.The area of the floor is less than 2040square ft.How would you represent the with of the floor?How about its lenght?What mathematical sentence would represent the given situation?What are the possible dimensions of the floor?How about the possible areas of the floor?Would it be realistic for the floor to have an area of 144sq.ft?Explain your answer.

Answers

Let's start by defining a few variables:
x=width of the floor
x+36= length of the floor 
Since area = length x width, we can write the equation:
x(x+36)<2040 ft² (this is your mathematical sentence
Make a chart of the possible values:
x  | x+36|  Area
30   66  = 1980  fits
31   67  = 2077 *too big
So, all dimensions with length smaller than 30 and widths smaller than 66 fit the system. 
x(x+36)=144? Let's try smallest numbers - width of 1 ft, length of 37 ft
1(37)=37 too small
3(39)=117 nope
4(40)=160 nope
So, no, 144 ft² is not a realistic answer.



L < 66; The length of the floor will be less than 66feet

W<30; The width of the floor will be less than 30feet

The possible area of the floor is 1885 sq. ft

Since 144 sq.ft ≠ 1885feet², hence it would not be realistic for the floor to have an area of 144sq.ft

The formula for calculating the area of the conference floor is expressed as:

A = LW

L is the length

W is the width

If the length is 36ft. longer than its width, hence;

L = W+36

Since the area of the floor is less than 2040 square feet, hence;

A < 2040

LW < 2040

(W+36)W < 2040

W² + 38W < 2040

W² + 38W - 2040 < 0

W² + 68W - 30W - 2040 < 0

W(W+68)- 30(W+68)< 0

(W-30)(W+68) < 0

W - 30 < 0 and W < -68

W < 30

Since the width cannot be negative, hence the width of the floor will be less than 30feet

Since L = 36 + W

L < 36 + 30

L < 66feet

The length of the floor will be less than 66feet

The possible dimensions area 29feet by 65feet since the width is less than 30 and the length is less than 66feet.

Get the possible area:

Possible area = 29 × 65

Possible area = 1885feet²

Since 144 sq.ft ≠ 1885feet², hence it would not be realistic for the floor to have an area of 144sq.ft

A coin is tossed 6 times. what is the probability of getting at least one head? express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

Answers

The possible combinations of at least getting one head is the same as subtracting the probability of getting ALL tails from the total probability of one
P(TTTTTT) = 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.015625
1 - P(TTTTTT) = 1 - 0.0156251 - P(TTTTTT) = 0.984375
So, probability of getting at least one head is 0.984375

Final answer:

The probability of getting at least one head in six coin tosses is 1 minus the probability of getting tails on all tosses, resulting in a probability of 98.44% when rounded to four decimal places.

Explanation:

The question is about calculating the probability of getting at least one head when a coin is tossed six times. Rather than calculating the probability of at least one head directly, it's simpler to calculate the probability of the opposite event—getting no heads—which is the same as getting tails on all six tosses. Since the probability of flipping a tail on each toss is 0.5, the probability of flipping six tails in a row is (0.5)⁶, which equals 0.015625. Therefore, the probability of getting at least one head is 1 minus the probability of getting no heads, which is 1 - 0.015625, resulting in 0.984375 or 98.44% when rounded to four decimal places.

s = sale price (in dollars)
p = sticker price (in dollars)
Note: the sticker price is what the customer pays after the discount
Another note: This is ignoring any taxes or other fees

We're told that the sale price is the result of taking 10% off the sticker price. This means...

sale price = (sticker price) - (10% of sticker price)
s = p - 0.10*p
s = 1*p - 0.10*p
s = (1 - 0.10)*p
s = (0.90)*p
s = 0.90*p

So the expression for the sale price is 0.90*p where p is the sticker price in dollars.

Note: this means that the sale price is 90% of the sticker price.

----------------------------------------

Now plug in the sticker price p = 80 to find the sale price s
s = 0.90*p
s = 0.90*80
s = 72

The sale price is $72 which is what the customer will pay (if we ignore any taxes or other fees).

Submit



Answers

Final answer:

The conclusion in the given conditional statement is that the sides of the square have a length of 2 units each. This is deduced from the formula for the perimeter of a square (P = 4 × side length), and the given perimeter of 8 units.

Explanation:

The conclusion in the conditional statement "If a square has a perimeter of 8 units, then its sides have a length of 2 units each" is the sides of the square have a length of 2 units each.

In a conditional statement, the "if" part is known as the hypothesis and the "then" part is the conclusion. Given that a square's perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides, we can show this through an equation: P = 4 × s, where P represents the perimeter and s the length of one side. Since the perimeter is given as 8 units, we can solve for s by dividing the perimeter by 4: 8 units = 4 × s, which simplifies to s = 2 units. Therefore, each side of the square must be 2 units long.

Final answer:

The conclusion in this conditional statement is that the sides of the square have a length of 2 units each.

Explanation:

The conclusion in this conditional statement is:

The sides of the square have a length of 2 units each.

In a conditional statement of the form 'if A, then B', the conclusion (B) is the statement that follows 'then'. In this case, the conclusion states that the sides of the square have a length of 2 units each.
