Barney and Betty break into a parking meter with $5.05 in dimes and quarters in it, and agree that Barney get all the dimes, and Betty will get all the quarters. Barney ends up with five more coins than Betty. How much money did each get?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: so remember that a quarter=25 cents and a dime=10 cents so
represent q=# of quarters
d=# of dimes

so barney gets dimes so replace barney with d and betty with q
barney get 5 more coins than betty
d=5+q
total=5.05=0.25q+0.10d since each is worth 0.25 and 0.10 so we have
d=5+q and 5.05=0.25q+0.10d
subsitue (5+q) for d
5.05=0.25q+0.10(5+q)
distribute
5.05=0.25q+0.50+0.10q
add like terms
5.05=0.35q+0.50
subtract 0.50 from both sides
4.55=0.35q
divide both sides by 0.35
13=q
subsitute
d=5+q
d=5+13
d=18

barney got 18 coins and betty got 13 coins

Candy is on sale for $0.75 each. you have a coupon for $0.25 off your total purchase. Write a function rule for the cost of n pieces of candy. A. C(n)0.25n-0.75
B. C(n)=0.75n-0.25
C. C(n)=1.0n
D. C(n)=0.75n

Answers

Answer:

B. C(n)=0.75n-0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cost of one candy = $0.75

            There is a coupon of $0.25 off on total purchase .

To Find :  Write a function rule for the cost of n pieces of candy.

Solution :

Since we are given that total candies bought = n

Cost of one candy =  $0.75

Cost of n candy =  $0.75n

So, cost of total purchase  = $0.75n

Since on total purchase there is a off of $0.25

So, cost of total purchase after off will be $0.75n -$0.25

⇒C(n)= 0.75n-0.25

Where C(n) denotes the total cost after getting off

Hence Option B is correct.

A function rule for the cost of n pieces of candy is C(n)= 0.75n-0.25

Required function rule is C(n) = 0.75n - 0.25

a) The average height of sunflowers in a field is 64 inches with a standard deviation of 3.5 inches. Describe a normal curve for the distribution, including the values on the horizontal axis at one, two, and three standard deviations from the mean. b) If there are 3,000 plants in the field, approximately how many will be taller than 71 inches?

Answers

The values on the horizontal axis are:
at 0 = 64
at one standard deviation (lower, upper) = (60.5 , 67.5)
at two standard deviation (lower, upper) = (57 , 71)
at three standard deviation (lower, upper) = (53.5 , 74,5)

B. P(x > 71) = 1 - P(x < 71) = 1 - P[z < (71 - 64)/3.5] = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275
Therefore the no of plants taller than 71 inches will be approximately 0.02275 * 3000 = 68

Can someone help me and explain the equation

Answers

Answer:

Jason would have to work 60 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation you would use would be 450 + 12.50t = 1200.

1200 is the money needed, 450 is a constant factor, but the 12.50 changes depending on how many hours Jason works.

You will have to use inverse operations so you would go 450 + 12.50t - 450 = 1200 - 450. That equals 12.50t = 750. Then you divide 12.50 by 750 because 12.50t is multiplying. 750 ÷ 12.5 = 60. So Jason has to work 60 hours!

What is the point that lies on a graph for 10y=3x-11. Is it A (2,-.5) B (4,1) C (6,16.3). Or D (8,23)?

Answers

case A : x=2, y=-5
so putting the values of x and y in the equation, we get 10y -3x should be -11
so, 10* (-5) - 3 *2 = -50-6 = -56
case B , value of equation = 10*4 - 3*1 = 37
case C, value of equation = 10*6 -3*16.3 = -11.1
Case D, value of equation = 10*8-3*23 = 11
Ans will be C
