A store sells hardcover books for $8 and paperback books for $5. You buy 7 books, represented by the equation x + y = 7, where x is the number of hardcover books and y is the number of paperback books. The equation 8x + 5y = 41 represents the total cost. How many of each type of book did you buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of Hardcover books is TWO while the number of Paperback books is FIVE

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of hardcover book = x

No. of paperback book = y

Cost of one hardcover book = $8

Cost of one paperback book = $5 We are given that:

x+y=7 (Equation 1)

8x+5y=41 (Equation 2)

We can find out value of x and y by solving both equations simultaneously.

Hence, Total number of Hardcover books is TWO while the number of Paperback books is FIVE

a farm is sold for $457000, which gives a profit of 19%. Find the profit

Answers

Answer:

The profit is 86830

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate percentage, just multiply the original number by the percent as a decimal. 457000x0.19=86830

Answer:

Profit: $73000

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = Selling price (SP) - Cost price (CP)

First you need to find the CP

CP = (SP*100)/(100+Percentage profit)

SP= $457000

Percentage profit = 19%

CP= (457000*100)/(100+19)

CP= 45700000/119

CP= $384,033.6134

Profit = 457000-384,033.6134

Profit = $72966.3866

Profit rounded to the nearest 1,000 or  the Thousands Place = $73,000

First, your goal is to get the variables to one side, and the numbers to the other. In this case, subtract the 3 1/8 from both sides. Then you will have a negative variable. You can flip the sign on the other side to get a positive variable = a number.

Answer:  

2 hours:  3968  [I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]

At midnight:  12137

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour.  So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.  

The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15.  Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b.  b is (1 +  percent increase).

Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450

At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:

(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.

Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor,  If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:

P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour.  t is time, in hours.  

If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is

P = ab^t

Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM.  That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10

P = (3000)*(1.15)^10

P = 12137

solve similar triangles (advanced)

Answers

Answer:  18/7

This approximates to 2.5714

=====================================================

Explanation:

The two triangles are similar. We can use the AA (angle angle) theorem to prove this claim.

Because [tex]\triangle ABC \sim \triangle ADE[/tex], this means:

side AB corresponds to side AD. The letters from AB are the first two letters of ABC while AD are the first two letters from ADE.side BC corresponds to DE. We have BC as the last two letters of ABC and DE the last two letters of ADE

As those bullet points above mention, the order of ABC and ADE matters to allow us to pair up the corresponding angles and corresponding sides.

From that, we can form the proportion below to solve for x

AB/AD = BC/DE

3/(3+4) = x/6

3/7 = x/6

3*6 = 7*x

18 = 7x

7x = 18

x = 18/7

You could convert this to the approximate decimal form 18/7 = 2.5714, but I think it's better to keep it as a fraction.

Answers

Answer:

a>4 or a < 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start with the inequality on the left

-a + 2(4+3a) > 28

expand using the distributive property

-a + 8 + 6a > 28

5a + 8 > 28

subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

5a > 20

divide both sides by 5 to isolate a

a > 4

moving on to the inequality on the right

2a - (3a+4) > -12

treat the minus sign as a -1

2a + (-1)(3a+4) > - 12

expand

2a - 3a - 4 > - 12

-a - 4 > -12

add 4 to both sides to isolate a and its coefficient

-a > - 8

multiply both sides by -1 but change the sign because we are multiplying by a negative number

a < 8

In \triangle KLM,△KLM, \overline{KL}\cong \overline{MK} KL ≅ MK and \text{m}\angle M = 43^{\circ}.m∠M=43 ∘ . Find \text{m}\angle L.m∠L.

Answers

Based on the definition of an isosceles triangle, the measure of angle L is: 43°

Recall:

An isosceles triangle has two side lengths that are equal in size, and also the angles opposite the equal sides are congruent.

Given that KL ≅ MK in △KLM, it means △KLM is an isosceles triangle.

If m∠M = 43°, therefore, m∠M = m∠L (equal angles directly opposite KL and MK).

This implies that: m∠L = 43°

In summary, based on the definition of an isosceles triangle, the measure of angle L is: 43°

Sandy bought a pair of shoes on sale for 40% off the original price and an additional 25% off the discount price. If the shoes originally cost $60, what was the final cost, without tax, that Sandy paid for the shoes?

Answers

Answer:

The price is $27.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find 40% of 60 which is 24.

Next you subtract 24 from 60 (60-24) which equals 36.

Then you find 25% of the discounted price (36) which is 9.

Finally you subtract 9 from 36 (36-9) which is 27.

Conclusion:

So therefore the answer is $27.00.

then your going to subtract 45 on both sides. So 100-45 is 55.

so now your equation looks like this

30 = 55 - w

subtract 55 on both sides so you will have -25 = -w. Then your going to divide -w on both sides and you will have positive 25

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,1)(−5,1) and has a slope of -\frac{1}{5}−5​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I will interpret "-\frac{1}{5}−5​" as -(1/5).

We'll look for an equation by starting with the slope intercept format of:

y = mx + b,

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

We are given the slope of -(1/5), I think.  

The equation becomes y = -(1/5)x + b

We want to find a value of b that will force the line to go through point (-5,1).  Do this by putting this point into the equation we have thus far:

y = -(1/5)x + b

1 = -(1/5)*(-5) + b   [point (-5,1)]

1 = 1 + b

b = 0

The equation becomes y = -(1/5)x + 0, or y = -(1/5)x

Sherrod and Kamar are planning to drive at most 900 miles road trip. Sherrod drives at 60 miles per hour, and Kamar at 50 miles per hour. Let x represent the distance Sherrod drives and y represent the distance Kamar drives.

a. Write an inequality that represents the miles that Sherrod and Kamar drive.

b. GIve 2 possible combinations of miles that Sherrod and Kamar can drive that satisfy the inequality.

Answers

The inequality gives the total expected journey from the road trip, such that the time during which Sherrod and Kamar drives is known.

a. The inequality that represents the miles that Sherrod and Kamar drives is; x + y ≤ 900b. Two possible combination of x and y are; (600, 300) and (300, 600)

Reasons:

a. The distance distance Sherrod and Kamar plan to drive ≤ 900 miles

Sherrod's speed = 60 mph

Kamar's speed = 50 mph

The distance Sherrod drives = x

The distance Kamar drives = y

a. The miles driven by Sherrod and Kamar is given by the inequality;

x + y ≤ 900

b. Two possible combinations are;

First possible combination;

Sherrod drives for 10 hours, which gives;

Distance Sherrod drives = 60 mph × 10 hour = 600 miles

Kamar drives for 900 miles - 600 miles = 300 miles

Which gives;

Sherrod drives for 600 miles and Kamar drives for 300 miles

First combination; (600, 300)

Second possible combination;

The second possible combination is Sherrod drives for 300 miles and Kamar drives for 600 miles

Second combination; (300, 600)
