Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

US$ 1,084.80 were raised from the raffle tickets and US$ 1,035 are the profits after paying the prizes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of raffle tickets sold = 1,356

Cost of each raffle ticket = US$ 4/5

Number of prizes = 6

Cost of each prize = US$ 8 3/10

2. How much money was raised from the raffle tickets?

For easier calculation, let's convert the fraction numbers to decimal numbers:

Cost of each raffle ticket = US$ 4/5 = US$ 0.80

Cost of each prize = US$ 8 3/10 = US$ 8 + 0.30 = US$ 8.30

Now, we use this formula to calculate how much money was raised and the profits:

Profits = (Number of tickets sold * Cost of each ticket) - (Number of prizes * Cost of each prize)

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Profits = 1,356 * 0.80 - 6 * 8.30

Profits = 1,084.80 - 49.80

Profits = 1,035

US$ 1,084.80 were raised from the raffle tickets and US$ 1,035 are the profits after paying the prizes.

Answers

Answer:. If the Area is 177, it should have been given in square centimeters.

If one side is 13 cm, the other side is about 13.6cm.

If one side is 11 cm, the other side should be about 16.1 cm. Even the choice is incorrect!

A/x = w

Step-by-step explanation: to find a side when the Area is given, divide the Area by the length or width given.

Elena bought 320 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 7 times as many triggerfish as parrotfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy?

Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of parrotfish Elena bought and y represents the number of triggerfish she bought?


A.
x + y = 320
y = 7x

B.
x + 7y = 320
y = 7x

C.
x – y = 320
y = 7x

D.
x + y = 7
y = 320x

A.
x + y = 70
y = 2x – 425

B.
x – y = 425
y = 2x – 70

C.

5.A collection of quarters and dimes is worth $12.40. There are 67 coins in all.

How many of each coin are there?

quarters.___?_____
dimes.___?____

Answers

1. A.
x parrot fish + y triggerfish = 320 total fish. 
y = 7x shows that there are 7 times as many triggerfish.
2. C
x + y shows a total score of 425.
y = 2x - 70 shows that Michael's score, y, is 70 less (minus) than twice Kathryn's 
3. write two equations
x + y = 27 total feet
2x + 3 = y
Substitute 2x + 3 for y in the first equation
x + (2x + 3) = 27
3x + 3 = 27
3x = 24
x = 8
Substitute 8 in to either equation to find the other length.
8 + y = 27
y = 19
The shorter piece is 8 and the longer piece is 19
4. x + y = 3200 people -> y = 3200-x
8x + 12y = 33,040 dollars
8x + 12(3200 - x) = 33040
8x + 38400 - 12x = 33040
-4x = -5360
x = 1340 (1340 children)
1340 + y = 3200
y = 1860 adults
5. I don't think the numbers for this were put in correctly because I get a decimal and a negative number when I solve for it but hopefully if you do get the correct cost/amount of coins you will understand this well enough to do it on your own. Hope I helped!


If a rectangle has a length of x + 2, a width of 7, and a perimeter of 32.what is the vaule of X

explain how u got the answer

Answers

you need to write the Eqation like so: 2(X + 2 + 7) = 32 then divide 32 by 2 = 16 then all you have left is X + 2 + 7 = 16 then add 2 and 7 together which wili give you this X + 9 = 16 then you subtract 9 from 16 which leaves X alone. And the answer would be 7

#1

you would want to get these to have common denominators so you would multiply them, the lowest number they both can go into is 6 so you would have both of them go into that number. And they would equal

3 3/6 + 5 4/6 = 8 7/6

You can reduce this down to

9 1/6

__________________________________________________________

#2

2/5 (3/4)

you want to remove the parentheses so it would be

2/5 x 3/4

Then you will cross cancel the numbers (2 and 4)

1/5 x 3/2

then you want to multiply the fractions, and it would be.

3/5x2

and you multiply once again for your final answer
