Kevin and his sister, katy,are trying to solve the system of equations . Keven thinks the new equation should be 3(6x-1)+2y=43 , while katy thinks it should be 3x+2(6x-1)=43.Who is correct and why

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Kathy is correct

Step-by-step explanation: We need to solve both equations separately in order to determine with certainty which one is correct and which one is not.

Kevin thinks the new equation should be

3(6x-1) + 2y = 43

This can now be solved as follows;

18x - 3 + 2y = 43

Add 3 to both sides of the equation

18x - 3 + 3 + 2y = 43 + 3

18x + 2y = 46

2(9x + y) = 46 (factorize the left hand side of the equation by 2)

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

9x + y = 46

The variables remain unsolved

On the other hand, Kathy thinks the new equation should be

3x + 2(6x - 1) = 43

This can now be solved as follows;

3x + 12x - 2 = 43

Collect like terms (in this equation, x)

15x - 2 = 43

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

15x - 2 + 2 = 43 + 2

15x = 45

Divide both sides of the equation by 15

x = 3

In essence, Kathy's equation has a solution (x=3) while that of Kevin remains unsolved

Answer 2

Final answer:

Neither Kevin nor Katy's equations are correct in the context of solving a system of linear equations, as they do not logically combine the given equations correctly.

Explanation:

The question revolves around which sibling is correct in forming a new equation to solve a system of linear equations. To determine this, we need to see which sibling correctly used the properties of equality to combine or manipulate equations. Kevin's equation, 3(6x-1)+2y=43, is an attempt to modify an existing equation by distributing a 3. Katy's equation, 3x+2(6x-1)=43, seems to combine different parts of the given equations.

Upon closer inspection, neither Kevin nor Katy is entirely correct because their proposed equations do not logically follow from the given set. To solve for a system of equations, we would typically add, subtract, multiply, or divide entire equations by constants or variables to eliminate one variable, so we can solve for the other.

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x + 5

To solve letter a, just multiply each term of f(x) by 3 and subtract 2.

a) 3f(x) - 2 = 3(2x + 5) - 2

                 = 6x + 15 - 2

               = 6x + 13

To f(x) subtract twice g(x)

b) f(x) - 2g(x) = 2x + 5 - 2(x² - 3x + 2)

                    = 2x + 5 - 2x² + 6x - 4

The high school marching band has 196 members,and 28 of them are a part of the percussion.How many members are on the marching band but not part of the percussion?

Answers

Answer:

168 members are on the marching band but not part of the percussion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The high school marching band has 196 members,and 28 of them are a part of the percussion.

Now, to find the members on the marching band but not part of the percussion.

Total members of marching band = 196.

Members of them who part of percussion = 28.

So, to get the members of the marching band who are not the part of the percussion we subtract members of them who part of percussion from total members of marching band:

[tex]196-28[/tex]

[tex]=168.[/tex]

Therefore, 168 members are on the marching band but not part of the percussion.

Darla told her teacher that she had read XLV pages in her library book. Juan said that he had read XXXIX pages. What is the difference between the number of pages that Darla and Juan read

Answers

Answer:

The difference between the number of pages that Darla and Juan read are VI pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Darla told her teacher that she had read XLV pages in her library book.

Juan said that he had read XXXIX pages.

Now, to get the difference between the number of pages that Darla read and Juan read.

As, we see the number of pages are in roman numeral symbols.

So, we convert them in numbers first to calculate:

Darla read = XLV pages.

Darla read = 45 pages.

Now,

Juan read = XXXIX pages.

Juan read = 39 pages.

So, to get the difference between the number of pages by subtracting:

[tex]45-39=6[/tex]

Thus, the difference between the number of pages = 6 pages.

Now, converting it into roman numerals:

6 pages = VI pages.

Therefore, the difference between the number of pages that Darla and Juan read are VI pages.

Out of 200 randomly selected people who participated in a poll, 120 said that they support the new policy introduced by the current mayor of New York City. Conclusion was made that 60% of all New Yorkers support new policy. Does this statement represent descriptive or inferential statistics?

Answers

Answer:

It's descriptive.

Step-by-step explanation:

inferential statistic, means we are inferring based on a sample of our population. Many times we need to infer because the data we need to collect is too large, i.e. the population is too large e.g. the average age of high school students in the US. so we take a sample, a portion of this population and we calculate their mean age. If our sample is random enough, we can "infer" to a certain degree of accuracy the mean

But descriptive statistics, describes the data. They are numbers used to summarise and describe a data. 60% describes the data.

If L leases property to T, and L subsequently assigns L’s interest to L2, whom may T hold liable when X, a paramount title holder, ejects T?

Step-by-step explanation: Going by Landlord and Tenant's law, when L leases a property to T and afterwards assigns his or her own interest to L2. T can either hold L or L2 when a paramount title holder X ejects T from the property.

According to the Law, L (in this case can be referred to as the Landlord) can actually assign all of his or her own rent rights and reversion to L2 (can be referred to as Landlord 2 or assignee). Whatever agreements or contracts made between L and T according to the lease of the property automatically ropes in L2. In this case, T is ejected by X who is a paramount title holder. This goes against the contract agreement between L and T, and therefore gives T the right to hold either L or L2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Volume of 3 prism be A,B,C.

Now Given:

3 rectangular prisms have a combined volume of 518 cubic feet.

so we can say that;

[tex]A+B+C=518 \ ft^3 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1[/tex]

Also Given:

Prisms B and C have equal volume.

A piece of string fits exactly once around the perimeter of a square whose area is 144. Rounded to the nearest whole number, what is the area of the largest circle that can be formed from the piece of string?

Answers

Answer:A=183cm^

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of square is :

Let s be side

A= s^2

144= s^2

Square both side

Therefore

s=sqrt(144)

s=12 cm

The perimeter of the square is : 4× s= 4×12= 48cm

So the perimeter of the square is equal to the circumference of the circle.

The equation will be:

4×s=2×pi×r

4×12=2× (22/7)×r

r=48/6.29

r=7.63

Area of a circle is:

A=pi× r^2

A= (22/7) × (7.63)^2

A=182.9674cm^2

A=183cm^

Final answer:

To find the area of the largest circle from a string around a square, calculate the square's perimeter to get the string's length, which is also the circle's circumference. Then determine the circle's radius and use it to calculate the circle's area, which rounds to 183 square units.

Explanation:

To find the area of the largest circle that can be formed from a piece of string that fits around a square with an area of 144, first we must determine the perimeter of the square. Since the area of the square (A) is 144, the side length (s) can be found by taking the square root of the area: s = √A = √144 = 12. Therefore, the perimeter (P) of the square is P = 4s = 4 × 12 = 48.

The string that fits around the square is the same length as the perimeter, so it will also be 48 units long. This string will become the circumference (C) of the circle. The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where π is approximately 3.14 and r is the radius of the circle. We can solve for r by setting the circumference equal to the length of the string: C = 2πr = 48 → r = 48 / (2π) → r ≈ 7.64. So the radius of the circle is approximately 7.64 units.

Finally, to find the area (A) of the circle, we use the formula A = πr². Substituting the value of the radius, we get A = π × (7.64)² ≈ 183.47. However, since we need to round to the nearest whole number, the largest circle area is approximately 183 square units.

Answers

Answer:

P(A' U B) = 84/100

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, P(A) = 86/100

P(B) = 79/100

P(A') = 7/50

P(A U B) = 95/100

-: P(A intersection B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A U B)

P(A intersection B) = 86/100 + 79/100 - 95/100

P(A intersection B) = (86+79-95)/100 = (165-95)/100

P(A intersection B) = 70/100

Now, P(A' U B) = P(A') + P(A intersection B)

P(A' U B) = 7/50+70/100

P(A' U B) = (7*2+70)/100 = (14 + 70)/100

P(A' U B) = 84/100

Answer:

[tex]Down\ payment = 7,344[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of 15% of gross income.

Given:

Jessica gross income = 48,960.00

She decided to use 15% amount as down payment.

We need to find the amount of 15% of gross income.

Solution:

Using percentage formula.

[tex]percentage = (\frac{Value}{Total\ value})\times 100[/tex]

Now we substitute 15 in the place of percentage and 48,960 in the place of Total value.

[tex]15=(\frac{x}{48960})\times 100[/tex]

Now, we apply cross multiplication rule.

[tex]x= \frac{48960\times 15}{100}[/tex]

[tex]x=48960\times 0.15[/tex]

[tex]x =7,344[/tex]

Therefore: Down payment is 7,344.

Final answer:

Jessica allocated $7,344 for the down payment on a house based on her 15% gross income allocation.

Explanation:

The budget that Jessica allocated for her down payment on a house is calculated as follows:

Calculate 15% of Jessica's gross income: 15% of $48,960 is $48,960 * 0.15 = $7,344.

Therefore, the budget that Jessica allowed for the down payment on a house is $7,344.

For his long distance phone service, Tony pays an $8 monthly fee plus 6 cents per minute. Last month, Tony's long distance bill was $17.24. For how many minutes was Tony billed?

Answers

Answer:tony was billed for 154 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes for which Tony was billed.

For his long distance phone service, Tony pays an $8 monthly fee plus 6 cents per minute. Converting 6 cents to dollars, it becomes 6/100 = $0.06

This means that if he made x minutes of long distance call in a month, the total cost would be

8 + 0.06x

Last month, Tony's long distance bill was $17.24. It means that

8 + 0.06x = 17.24

0.06x = 17.24 - 8 = 9.24

x = 9.24/0.06

x = 154

For any integers x and y, min(x, y) and max(x, y) denote the minimum and the maximum of x and y, respectively. For example, min (5, 2) = 2 and max(5, 2) = 5. For the integer w, what is the value of min(10, w) ?

(1) w = max(20, z) for some integer z.
(2) w = max(10, w)

Answers

∴ The value of min(10,w) = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

w = max (20,z) for some integer z

    2. and w = max (10,w)

From the first equation we get that w= 20

and it also satisfies the second equation.

∴ The value of min(10,w) = min(10,20) ∵w=20

                                        = 10

Final answer:

Considering both conditions, our w value could be 10 or greater. As we are looking for the minimum value between 10 and w, the result of min(10, w) will be 10.

Explanation:

Let's look at the two provided conditions:

Condition 1: w = max(20, z). This means that w is either 20 or some integer greater than 20.Condition 2: w = max(10, w). Here, w could be 10 or greater.

Since both conditions suggest that w could be a value 10 or greater, the exponent w in min(10, w) will be at least 10. However, because we're finding the minimum between 10 and w, the value of min(10, w) will be 10.

A force with magnitude 20 N acts directly upward from the xy-plane on an object with mass 4 kg. The object starts at the origin with initial velocity vs0d − i 2 j. Find its position function and its speed at time t.

Answers

Final answer:

The object's position function is y = 2.5t² - 2t derived using kinematic equations. The speed at time t is |-2 + 5t| m/s where t is the time.

Explanation:

This is a problem of mechanics related to the motion of the object under the influence of a force. First, we need to calculate the acceleration using the formula F=ma. This gives us the acceleration as a = F/m = 20N/4kg = 5m/s². The object is moving upwards so this force is in the positive y direction.

The initial velocity vector is given as vs0d − i2j. The i-component represents the x-direction, and the j-component represents the y-direction. Thus, the initial speed is sqrt((0d)² + (−2)²) = 2 m/s. However, given that this velocity is in the negative y-direction, we determine its initial speed to be -2 m/s.

Now, we can determine the position function for the y-direction using the equation y = y0 + v0y*t + 0.5*a*t², where y0 represents the initial position (origin), v0y is the initial velocity in the y-direction (-2m/s for this case), a is the acceleration (5 m/s²), and t is time. Substituting these values, the equation becomes y = 0 – 2t + 0.5*5t² = 2.5t² - 2t.

For the speed at time t, you can utilize the velocity's magnitude in the y-direction using v = v0y + a*t = -2 m/s + 5t The magnitude ||v|| = sqrt((0)² + (-2 + 5t)²) = |-2 + 5t| m/s as speed is always positive.

We determined the object's position function to be [tex]\[ \matbf{r}(t) = -t \mathf{i} + 2t \mathf{j} + \frac{5t^2}{2} \mathf{k} \][/tex] and its speed at time t to be |v(t)| = [tex]\sqrt{5 + 25t^2}[/tex]. The calculations involved using Newton's second law and integrating the acceleration and velocity.

To find the position function and speed of the object under the given conditions, we need to use the principles of Newtonian mechanics. Let's break it down step-by-step.

Step 1: Find the acceleration

Given:

- Force ( F = 20 N ) upward

- Mass  (m = 4 kg)

Using Newton's second law (F = ma) , we can find the acceleration:

[tex]\[ \mthbf{a} = \frac{\mahbf{F}}{m} \][/tex]

Since the force is acting directly upward (which we'll take as the ( z )-direction):

F = 20k

Thus,

[tex]\[ \mahbf{a} = \frac{20 \matbf{k}}{4} = 5 \mahbf{k} \][/tex]

So, the acceleration is:

a = 5k

Step 2: Find the velocity function

The initial velocity is given as:

[tex]\[ \matbf{v}(0) = -\matbf{i} + 2\matbf{j} \][/tex]

Acceleration is constant, so we can integrate to find the velocity function:

[tex]\[ \matbf{v}(t) = \mathf{v}(0) + \mathf{a} t \][/tex]

Substituting the known values:

[tex]\[ \mathf{v}(t) = (-\matbf{i} + 2\matbf{j}) + 5 t \mahbf{k} \][/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\[ \matbf{v}(t) = -\matbf{i} + 2\matbf{j} + 5t \mthbf{k} \][/tex]

Step 3: Find the position function

To find the position function, integrate the velocity function:

[tex]\[ \mahbf{r}(t) = \mathf{r}(0) + \int \mathf{v}(t) \, dt \][/tex]

Given that the object starts at the origin:

r(0) = 0

Integrating the velocity function:

[tex]\[ \mathf{r}(t) = \int (-\mathf{i} + 2\matbf{j} + 5t \mathf{k}) \, dt \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \mahbf{r}(t) = (-\matbf{i}t) + (2\matbf{j}t) + \left( \frac{5t^2}{2} \matbf{k} \right) \][/tex]

Thus, the position function is:

[tex]\[ \matbf{r}(t) = -t \mathf{i} + 2t \mathf{j} + \frac{5t^2}{2} \mathf{k} \][/tex]

Step 4: Find the speed at time ( t )

Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector:

[tex]\[ \mathb{v}(t) = -\mathf{i} + 2\matbf{j} + 5t \mathb{k} \][/tex]

Calculate the magnitude:

[tex]\[ \text{Speed} = |\mathbf{v}(t)| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (2)^2 + (5t)^2} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Speed} = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 25t^2} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Speed} = \sqrt{5 + 25t^2} \][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A population parameter is a number that is evaluated to describe the whole population . For example : Population mean , Population standard deviation etc.A sample statistic gives the estimate value of the population parameter. For example : Sample mean , sample proportion.

Since, the sample is a subset of population , so there are chances for unavoidable variation in sample mean from the population mean that varies from sample to sample .

This variation is known as sampling error.

∴ The difference between the value of the sample statistic and the value of the corresponding population parameter is called the sampling error .

Hence,the correct answer is c. sampling error .

Final answer:

The difference between the sample statistic and the population parameter is known as the sampling error. This error occurs due to the sample selected being unrepresentative of the entire population.

Explanation:

The difference between the value of the sample statistic and the value of the corresponding population parameter is referred to as the sampling error. This definition directly fits the option c. Listed among the given options. A sampling error is a discrepancy that occurs due to an unrepresentative selection of observations from the whole population. The nature of statistical sampling means there will always be some level of uncertainty or error because we are making estimates based on a sample from a larger population, rather than the entire population itself.

For some piecewise function f(x), the limit as x approaches "a" from the left is 5. The limit as x approaches "a" from the right is -3. What is the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a"?

Answers

Answer: The limit does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation: The limit of a piecewise function f(x) as it approaches "a" will exist if and only if the value of the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a" from the left is the same with the value of the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a" from the right.

From the given question the value are not the same. We have 5 (limit from the left) and -3 (limit from the right). So, we can conclude that the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a" does not exist.

The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.4, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.55, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.65. What is the probability that he must stop.a.) At both signals?b.) At the first signal but not at the second one?c.) At exactly on signal?

Answers

Answer:

a) The probability is 0.3

b) The probability is 0.1

c) The probability is 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call S1 and S2 the events ' he must stop at signal 1 ' and 'he must stop at signal 2' respectively.

a) We know that

0.65 = P(S1 ∪ S2) = P(S1) + P(S2) - P(S1 ∩ S2) = 0.4+0.55-P(S1 ∩ S2) = 0.95 - P(S1 ∩ S2)

Hence P(S1 ∩ S2) = 0.95-0.65 = 0.3

It stops at both signals with probability 0.3

b) Note that, due to the theorem of total probability we have

0.4 = P(S1) = P(S1 ∩ S2) + P(S1 ∩ S2^c) = 0.3 + P(S1∩S2^c)

Where S2^c is the complementary event of S2. Therefore

P(S1∩S2^c) = 0.4-0.3 = 0.1

The probability to stop at the first signal but not at the second one is 0.1

c) The probability of stopping at exactly one signal is equal at the sum of the probabilities of stopping only at the first signal and the probability of stopping only at the second one.

That is P(S1 ∩ S2^c) + P(S1^c ∩ S2) = 0.1 + P(S1^c ∩ S2)

The same way as before:

0.55 = P(S2) = P(S1 ∩ S2) + P(S1^c ∩ S2) = 0.3 + P(S1^c ∩ S2)

Therefore

P(S1^c ∩ S2) = 0.55-0.3 = 0.25

And as a result, the probability of stopping at exactly one signal is 0.25 + 0.1 = 0.35.

The probability that he must stop at both signals 0.30.

The probability to stop at the first signal but not at the second one is 0.1.

The probability that he must stop at exactly 0.35.

Given that,

The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.4,

The analogous probability for the second signal is 0.55,

The probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.65.

We have to determine,

What is the probability that he must stop.

According to the question,

F = Event that a certain motorist must stop at the first signal.

S = Event that a certain motorist must stop at the second signal.

He must stop at signal 1 ' and 'he must stop at signal 2' respectively.

P(S1 ∪ S2) = P(S1) + P(S2) - P(S1 ∩ S2) =0.65

0.4 +0.55 - P(S1 ∩ S2) = 0.65

0.95 - P(S1 ∩ S2) = 0.65

Hence, P(S1 ∩ S2) = 0.95 - 0.65 = 0.30

It stops at both signals with probability 0.30.

The probability that he must stop at both signals 0.30.

By using the theorem of total probability,

P(S1) = P(S1 ∩ S2) + P(S1 ∩ S2^c)

0.4 = 0.3 + P(S1∩S2^c)

Where S2^c is the complementary event of S2. Therefore

P(S1∩S2^c) = 0.4 - 0.3 = 0.1

The probability to stop at the first signal but not at the second one is 0.1.

The probability of stopping at exactly one signal is equal at the sum of the probabilities of stopping only at the first signal and the probability of stopping only at the second one.

= P(S1 ∩ S2^c) + P(S1^c ∩ S2)

= 0.1 + P(S1^c ∩ S2)

Then,

= P(S2) = P(S1 ∩ S2) + P(S1^c ∩ S2) = 0.5

= 0.3 + P(S1^c ∩ S2) = 0.5

Therefore,

P(S1^c ∩ S2) = 0.55 - 0.3 = 0.25

And the probability of stopping at exactly one signal is 0.25 + 0.1 = 0.35.

The probability that he must stop at exactly 0.35.

I draw five cards from a randomly shuffled deck. What is the probability that those five cards are in either ascending or descending order

Answers

Answer: The probability of drawing 5 cards in either ascending or descending order out of the deck of 52 standard playing cards is 0.84%.

Step-by-step explanation: We have the following cards in a deck: 1(ace), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12(Jack), 13(Queen), 14(King) (thirteen different in total). There are 4 copies of each of them yielding 52 cards in total. First to draw all of the cards in the ascending order all of the drawn cards need to be different. Imagine you have 13 piles of 4 identical cards. Let us calculate the number of ways you can select 5 different ones (the order matters). First you select 5 different piles (this secures that each card is different) and this is possible to do in [tex]\frac{13!}{(13-5)!}[/tex] (we use the formula for variations since the order matters). Now, each card in the pile can be selected in [tex]4[/tex] different ways so the total number of sequences with [tex]5[/tex] different cards is [tex]4^5\frac{13!}{(13-5)!}[/tex]. Now we select out of these sequences the clases of those that contain exactly the same cards but in different order. Only 4 of the sequences within the same class will be in ascending order out of 4*5! which is the total number of the sequences within the class! This means that we have to multiply our total number of sequences of 5 different cards by [tex]\frac{4}{4\cdot 5!}=\frac{1}{5!}[/tex] and this yields the final answer of total number of ascending sequences to be

[tex]4^5\frac{13!}{(13-5)!5!}.[/tex]  

The total number of possible ways to draw 5 out of 52 cards is just

[tex]\frac{52!}{(52-5)!}.[/tex]

This yields for the probability

[tex]\frac{4^5\frac{13!}{(13-5)!5!}}{\frac{52!}{(52-5)!}}=0.42\%[/tex]

Exactly the same calculation applies for the descending order. So the probabilty of the cards being in either ascending or descending order is just the sum of these two (the events are mutually exclusive, you cannot have both the ascending and descending order at the same time) yielding the final probability of [tex]0.84\%[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

D itll go from 87.5 to 70, so it'll drop by 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The answer is actually D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true because when you add the scores together you get 350 and then you divide that number by however many data numbers there are in the set.

86+84+90+90=350

because there are 4 numbers in the data set you so divide 350 by 4 which equals 87.5

Then he scores a 0 on the quiz, it will indeed affect the mean.

You add the numbers 86+84+90+90+0 still equals 350, however, instead of 4 numbers in the data set it's 4 because of the zero.

Instead of dividing by 4, you divide by 5

350 divided by 5 equals 70.

the original MEAN was 87.5 and now it is 70, so that means that it decreased by 17.5. there's is your answer. The answer is D 17.5

Determine the average velocity of the cart and disk as they move together during a 24-frame interval after the collision. Use the blue dot on the left end of the cart as the point of reference for your measurement?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 38.7 kg·m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the definition of average velocity,

The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed.

Therefore, If in the frame of 320, the blue dot appears to be at 0 cm  and 24 frames later (at 344), the blue dot appears to be at 11 cm.  24 frames is 1/10 of a second, so

V = 11cm / 0.10s = 110 cm/s = 1.10 m/s

give or take.

Bonus:  initial system (cart only) momentum

p = mv = 23.8kg * 1.80m/s = 42.8 kg·m/s  

final system (cart+disk) momentum

p = (23.8+11.4)kg * 1.10m/s = 38.7 kg·m/s

Final answer:

To rewrite the expression, divide the digit term in the numerator by the digit term in the denominator and subtract the exponents. The final expression is y^-1/4.

Explanation:

To rewrite the expression in the form yn, we can use the rules of division of exponentials. In this case, we have 1/y5/4.

To divide, we need to subtract the exponents and divide the digit term in the numerator by the digit term in the denominator.

The digit term in the numerator is 1, and the digit term in the denominator is 1.

So, the expression can be rewritten as y1 - 5/4.

Now, let's simplify the exponent. We have 1 - 5/4 = 4/4 - 5/4 = -1/4.

So, the final expression is y-1/4.

Cameron bought twelve pounds of candy corn for 79 cents a pound and eighteen pounds of M&Ms for $1.09 a pound, planning to make packages of candy for a fund-raiser. The two types of candy will be mixed and sold in one-pound bags. What is the least price that Cameron can charge for each of the thirty bags, in order to make at least a 25% profit.

Answers

Final answer:

To make at least a 25% profit, Cameron should charge a minimum of $1.22 per bag for the mixed candy. The cost per bag is found by adding the total cost of candy corn and M&Ms, then multiplying by 125% and dividing by the number of bags to distribute the cost and profit evenly.

Explanation:

The student's question involves calculating the minimum selling price for candy bags to achieve a certain profit margin, which is a common type of problem in Mathematics, specifically in the field of algebra and business mathematics.

To find the least price Cameron can charge for each of the thirty bags to make at least a 25% profit, we first calculate the total cost of the candy. Cameron bought twelve pounds of candy corn at 79 cents a pound and eighteen pounds of M&Ms at $1.09 a pound.

Candy corn cost: 12 pounds × $0.79/pound = $9.48M&Ms cost: 18 pounds × $1.09/pound = $19.62Total cost: $9.48 + $19.62 = $29.10

Now, we calculate the total cost including the desired 25% profit.

Total cost with profit: $29.10 × (1 + 0.25) = $36.375

Since Cameron is making thirty bags, we divide the total cost with profit by the number of bags.

Minimum selling price per bag: $36.375 / 30 bags = $1.2125

However, as prices are generally rounded to the nearest cent, the minimum charge per bag would be $1.22 to ensure a 25% profit.

George earned a total of $342 in simple interest from two separate accounts. In an account earning 5% interest, George invested $1800 more than twice the amount he invested in an account earning 2%. How much did he invest in each account?

Answers

Answer: he invested $6000 in the account earning 5% interest and $2100 in the other account earning 2% interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested in the account earning 5% interest.

Let y represent the amount invested in the account earning 2% interest.

In an account earning 5% interest, George invested $1800 more than twice the amount he invested in an account earning 2%. It means that

x = 2y + 1800

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

Assuming the duration for both investments is 1 year,

The interest on the first account would be

I = (x × 5 × 1)/100 = 0.05x

The interest on the second account would be

I = (y × 2 × 1)/100 = 0.02y

George earned a total of $342 in simple interest from two separate accounts. This means that

0.05x + 0.02y = 342 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y + 1800 into equation 1, it becomes

0.05(2y + 1800) + 0.02y = 342

0.1y + 90 + 0.02y = 342

0.1y + 0.02y = 342 - 90

0.12y = 252

y = 252/0.12 = 2100

x = 2y + 1800 = 2 × 2100 + 1800 = $6000

2. Kim and Lauren were driving to Pennsylvania which is 680 miles from them. They are going to complete their trip in 3 days. The distances and average speeds for the first and second days driven are shown below. First day: 3 hours at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. Second day: 5 hours at an average speed of 65 miles per hour. If the average speed on the third day is 35 miles per hour, how many more hours will it take for them to reach their destination?

Answers

Answer:

Kim and Lauren have 5 more hours to reach Pennsylvania.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total distance = 680 miles

We have to find the number of hours taken by them to reach Pennsylvania.

Solution,

For Day 1:

Speed = [tex]60\ mi/h[/tex]

Time = 3 hrs

We know that the distance is equal to speed multiplied with time.

So the equation is;

[tex]Distance = 60\times3=180\ miles[/tex]

For Day 2:

Speed = [tex]65\ mi/h[/tex]

Time = 5 hrs

We know that the distance is equal to speed multiplied with time.

So the equation is;

[tex]Distance = 65\times5=325\ miles[/tex]

Now the total distance traveled in two  days is the sum of distance traveled in day 1 and distance traveled in day 2.

Distance traveled in 2 days = [tex]180+325=505\ miles[/tex]

So the remaining distance they have to travel is equal to total distance minus distance traveled in 2 days.

Remaining distance =[tex]680-505=175\ miles[/tex]

Now also given that the speed on day 3 is [tex]35\ mi/h[/tex].

So the time taken to cover the distance is equal to distance divided by speed.

[tex]\therefore time=\frac{175}{35}=5\ hours[/tex]

Hence Kim and Lauren have 5 more hours to reach Pennsylvania.
