The expression to represent the total price of the supplies is 1.29n + 0.79w + 2.39b
Solution:
Let "n" be the number of nails
Let "w" be the number of washers
Let "b" be the number of bolts
Given that ,
Price of nail = $ 1.29 per lb
Price of washers = $ 0.79 per lb
Price of bolts = $ 2.39 per lb
To find: Expression to represent the total price of the supplies.
Total price = number of nails x Price of nail per lb + number of washers x Price of washers per lb + number of bolts x Price of bolts per lb
[tex]Total\ price = n \times 1.29 + w \times 0.79 + b \times 2.39\\\\Total\ price = 1.29n + 0.79w + 2.39b[/tex]
Thus the expression to represent the total price of the supplies is found
Jean has a ride metro card. It costs $2.50 to get on the tram plus $0.75 for each stop. If Jeans metro card allows her 8 rides and costs $44 how many stops can she make?
Answer: she can make 32 stops
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of stops that she can make.
Jean has a ride metro card. It costs $2.50 to get on the tram plus $0.75 for each stop.
If Jeans metro card allows her 8 rides and costs $44, it means that if she makes x stops, then
2.5 × 8 + 0.75 × x = 44
20 + 0.75x = 44
0.75x = 44 - 20 = 24
x = 24/075 = 32
In a school one-third of all 240 students play soccer. Forty four students play both soccer and basketball and sixty students do not play any of these games. How many students play only basketball?
Answer:
100 students play only basketball.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Total number of students in school = 240
Number of students that play soccer =
[tex]\dfrac{1}{3}\times \text{Total number of students}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 240 = 80[/tex]
n(S) =80
[tex]n(S\cap B) = 44[/tex]
[tex]n(S'\cap B') = 60[/tex]
Formula:
[tex]n(S\cup B) = \text{Total} - n(S' \cap B')\\n(S\cup B) = n(S) + n(B) - n(S\cap B)[/tex]
Putting the values, we get,
[tex]n(S\cup B) =240-60=180\\n(S\cup B) = 180 = 80 - 44 + n(B)\\n(B) = 180 - 80 + 44= 144[/tex]
Thus, 144 students play basketball.
Out of these 144, 44 plays soccer as well.
[tex]\text{Student only playing basketball} = 144 -44 = 100[/tex]
Thus, 100 students play only basketball and not soccer.
Grace started her own landscaping business. She charges $6 an hour for mowing lawns and $11 per house pulling weeds. In September she mowed lawns for 63 hours and pulled weeds for 9 hours. How much money did she make in September?
Answer:
The total money made by Grace is $477.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Charge per hour for mowing lawn = $6
Charge per hour for pulling weeds = $11
Number of hours for which lawns are mowed = 63 hours
Number of hours for which weeds are pulled = 9 hours
Now, total money made by Grace in September can be calculated by adding the total money gained in mowing lawns and pulling weeds.
Total money gained in mowing lawns is given as:
[tex]C_m=\textrm{Number of hours of mowing}\times\textrm{Charge per hour}\\\\C_m=63\times 6=\$378[/tex]
Total money gained in pulling weeds is given as:
[tex]C_w=\textrm{Number of hours of pulling weeds}\times\textrm{Charge per hour}\\\\C_w=9\times 11=\$99[/tex]
Now, total money made = [tex]C_m+C_w=378+99=\$477[/tex]
Therefore, the total money made by Grace is $477.
Mike and Kim invest $18,000 in equipment to print yearbooks for school. Each yearbook costs $5 to print and sells for $15. How many yearbooks must they sell before their business breaks even?a. 1,100 yearbooksb. 1,200 yearsbooksc. 3,600 yearbooksd. 1,800 yearsbooks
Answer:
1800yearbook(D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of printing a year book = $5
A year book is sold at $15
The profit on each year book = $15 - $5 = $10
Let y represent the number of year books sold for a break even to occur.
A break even occurs when the amount sold is equals the amount invested
10y = 18000
y = 18000/10
y = 1800 yearbooks
A 40 question test has 132 possible points there are M 5 point questions. And N 1 point questions how many of each type of questions is on the test?
Answer:
There are 23 5-point questions and 17 1-point questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
there are M 5 point questions
And N 1 point questions
M + N = 40
A 40 question test has 132 possible points
5M + N = 132
We have a system of equations.
M + N = 40
5M + N = 132
Multiply both sides of the first equation by -1. Write the second equation below it. Add the equations.
-M - N = -40
+ 5M + N = 132
----------------------------
4M = 92
M = 23
Now substitute 23 for M in the first equation and solve for N.
M + N = 40
23 + N = 40
N = 17
There are 23 5-point questions and 17 1-point questions.
Answer:the number of 5 point questions is 23
the number of 1 point questions is 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let M represent the number of 5 point questions.
Let N represent the number of 1 point questions.
The total number of questions in the test is 40. It means that
M + N = 40 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
The possible total points in the test is 132 and it contains M 5 point questions and N 1 point questions. This means that
5M + N = 132 - - - - - - - - - - -2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
- 4M = - 92
M = - 92/-4 = 23
Substituting M = 23 into equation 1, it becomes
23 + N = 40
N = 40 - 23 = 17

Suppose that you bet $5 on each of a sequence of 50 independent fair games. Use the central limit theorem to approximate the probability that you will lose more than $75.
Answer:
chances chances of happening = 0.0119
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
bet = $5
independent fair games = 50
solution
we will think game as the normal distribution
so here mean is will be
mean = [tex]\frac{50}{2}[/tex]
mean = 25
and standard deviation will be
standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{50*0.5*0.5}[/tex]
standard deviation = 3.536
so
we have to lose 33 out of 50 time for lose more than $75
so as chance of doing things z score is
z score = [tex]\frac{33-25}{3.536}[/tex]
z score = 2.26
so from z table
chances chances of this happening = 0.0119

The marching band in selling poinsettias and wreaths to raise money for new uniforms. Trey sold 7 poinsettias and 3 wreaths and raised $201. Molly sold 4 poinsettias and 6 wreaths and raised $252. How much is a poinsettia
The cost of 1 poinsettia is $ 15
Solution:
Let "x" be the cost of 1 poinsettias
Let "y" be the cost of 1 wreath
Trey sold 7 poinsettias and 3 wreaths and raised $201
Therefore, we frame a equation as:
7 poinsettias x cost of 1 poinsettias + 3 wreaths x cost of 1 wreath = 201
[tex]7 \times x + 3 \times y = 201[/tex]
7x + 3y = 201 ------- eqn 1
Molly sold 4 poinsettias and 6 wreaths and raised $252
4 poinsettias x cost of 1 poinsettias + 6 wreaths x cost of 1 wreath = 252
[tex]4 \times x + 6 \times y = 252[/tex]
4x + 6y = 252 ------- eqn 2
Multiply eqn 1 by 2
14x + 6y = 402 -------- eqn 3
Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3
14x + 6y = 402
4x + 6y = 252
( - ) -----------------------
10x = 150
x = 15
Thus cost of 1 poinsettia is $ 15
The price of a poinsettia is $15.
To determine the price of a poinsettia, we need to set up and solve a system of linear equations based on the given information.
Trey sold 7 poinsettias and 3 wreaths and raised $201. Let's denote the price of a poinsettia as 'P' and the price of a wreath as 'W'. Thus, the equation is:7P + 3W = 201
Molly sold 4 poinsettias and 6 wreaths and raised $252. Therefore, the equation is:4P + 6W = 252
To eliminate one variable, we can multiply the first equation by 2 to get:14P + 6W = 402Now, subtract the second equation from the new equation:(14P + 6W) - (4P + 6W) = 402 - 25210P = 150P = 15Therefore, the price of a poinsettia is $15.
There are 13 steps in the stairwell, each measuring one foot by three foot. In order to cover all the steps, how many square feet of carpet does Mr. Meglio need to purchase?
Answer:
Mr. Meglio need to purchase 39 square feet of carpet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of steps = 13
Length of each step = 1 foot
Width of each step = 3 foot
We need to find the square feet of carpet does Mr. Meglio need to purchase.
Solution:
First we will find the area of each step.
area of each step is equal to length times width.
framing in equation form we get;
area of each step = [tex]1\times 3 = 3\ ft^2[/tex]
Now amount of carpet required in square feet we multiply number of step with area of each step.
framing in equation form we get;
Amount of carpet required = [tex]13\times3 =39\ ft^2[/tex]
Hence Mr. Meglio need to purchase 39 square feet of carpet.
Final answer:
Mr. Meglio needs to purchase 39 square feet of carpet to cover the 13 steps in the stairwell, as each step has an area of 3 square feet.
Explanation:
The student is asking how many square feet of carpet are needed to cover a stairwell with 13 steps, where each step is one foot by three feet.
To calculate the area of a single step, multiply the length by the width. For one step, the calculation is 1 foot × 3 feet = 3 square feet. Since there are 13 steps, multiply the area of one step by the number of steps: 3 square feet/step × 13 steps = 39 square feet. Therefore, Mr. Meglio will need to purchase 39 square feet of carpet to cover all the steps.
This type of problem is a practical application of the area calculation in real-world context, and the measurement conversion from square inches to square feet is also pertinent to understanding the measurement of areas in different units.
Create an explicit equation for each recursively defined sequence below:
Part A
This is an arithmetic sequence with starting term a(1) = 17 and common difference d = -7.
a(n) = a(1) + d(n-1)
a(n) = 17 + (-7)(n-1)
a(n) = 17-7(n-1)
a(n) = 17-7n+7
a(n) = -7n+24 is the final answer========================================================
Part B
We have a geometric sequence here because we multiply by the same quantity (5) each time. This makes the common ratio be r = 5.
The starting term is t1 = 3
The nth term of this geometric sequence can be expressed as...
t(n) = t1*(r)^(n-1)
t(n) = 3*(5)^(n-1) is the final answerWhat is the difference?

Abby has a collection of 61 dimes and nickels worth $4.40. How many nickels does she have? Show steps
Answer:
34 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
First, consider the value if they were all dimes. That would be 61×$0.10 = $6.10. Next, realize this is more than the actual amount by 1.70. Of course, replacing one of the 61 dimes by a nickel reduces the total amount by $.05, so we must have ...
$1.70/$0.05 = 34
nickels in the mix.
Abby has 34 nickels.
_____
Alternate solution methods
I like to solve these using number sense, as above. Equivalently, an equation can be written using n to represent the number of nickels. The total value is then ...
.05n + .10(61 -n) = 4.40
-.05n +6.10 = 4.40 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
-.05n = -1.70 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.10
n = -1.70/-.05 = 34
Hopefully, you notice some similarities between this solution and the one in words, above.
__
Often, you will see this sort of problem formulated using two equations.
n + d = 61 . . . . . . . . . . number of coins (d=#of dimes)
.05n +.10d = 4.40 . . . .value of coins
If we solve this by substitution, we can use d=61-n, and get ...
.05n +.10(61-n) = 4.40 . . . . . . looks like our equation in the previous section
By creating two equations for the total value of coins and the total number of coins Abby has, we can solve for both the number of dimes and nickels she holds. After doing the required calculations, we find that Abby has 34 nickels.
Explanation:The subject of this question is algebra and it involves solving a system of equations. This is a classic problem that can be solved using two equations because we have two unknowns: the number of dimes and the number of nickels.
Since each dime is worth 10 cents and each nickel is worth 5 cents, and total value of Abby's coins is $4.40 or 440 cents, we can write the value equation as:So, Abby has 34 nickels.

A can of soda is placed inside a cooler. As the soda cools, its temperature T(x)
in degrees Celsius is given by the following function, where x
is the number of minutes since the can was placed in the cooler.
T(x)=−12+28e-0.38x
Find the initial temperature of the soda and its temperature after 18
minutes.
Round your answers to the nearest degree as necessary.
Answer:
The initial temperature of the soda is 16°C
The temperature of the soda after 18 minutes is -12°C
Step-by-step explanation:
T(x) = -12+28e^-0.38x
When x = 0
T(0) = -12+28e^-0.38(0) = -12+28e^0 = -12+28(1) = -12+28 = 16°C
Initial temperature of the soda is 16°C
When x = 18
T(18) = -12+28e^-0.38(18) = -12+28e^-6.84 = -12+28(0.0011) = -12+0.0308 = -11.9692°C = -12°C (to the nearest degree)

Gene has as many quarters as Ernest has half dollars, and each has 45 dimes. How many of each coin has each saved for the big day when $200 has been saved? Which of the following equations could represent the word problem if x is the number of half dollars that Gene has?a. 3x + 106 = 200
b. 125x + 916 = 20,000
c. 125x + 1,500 = 20,000
Answer:
1. Ernest has $82.5 and Gene has $117.5
2. c) 125x + 1500 = $20000
Step-by-step explanation:
If we mark Gene's half dollars with x, then it is given that Ernest has 8 more, which is x+8.
It is also given that Ernest has no quarters, but Gene has them as many as Ernest has half dollars, which is x+8.
And it is given that they both have 45 dimes each, which is $4.5 each.
Now, let's add up all these numbers:
Ernest: (x+8)•0.5 + 0•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.5x + 8.5
Gene: x•0.5 + (x+8)•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.75x + 6.5
They collected $200 together which means:
0.5x + 8.5 + 0.75x + 6.5 = $200
1.25x + 15 = $200
If we want to avoid decimal number, we can multiply whole equation with 100:
125x + 1500 = $20000
so, the correct answer is C.
Finally, to find x:
125x = 18500
x = 148
Ernest had 0.5x + 8.5 which is $82.5
Gene had 0.75x + 6.5 which is $117.5
7x+3(-x+6)=42 Show all steps
Answer:
X=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributing the 3
7x-3x+18=42
Adding like terms
4x+18=42
Subtracting 18 from both sides
4x=24
Dividing both sides by 4
X=6
