James bought 5 boxes of cookies and 2 cakes at the store for his party. The cakes cost $4 each and his total bill was $28.50, how much was each box of cookies?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Number of cookie boxes bought by James = 5
Number of cakes bought by James = 2
Cost of each cakes = $4
Total bill paid by James = $28.50
Let us assume the cost of the each boxes of cookies = x
Then
5x + (2 * 4) = 28.50
5x + 8 = 28.50
5x = 28.50 - 8
5x = 20.50
x = 20.50/5
   = 4.10
So we can see from the above deduction that the cost of each boxes of cookies bought by James is $4.10

B. 3%
C. 33%
D. 25%

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the total area of a dartboard is 30,000 mm² and the area of the bull's-eye is 1000 mm².

The probability of getting a bull's-eye is

\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=\frac{\text{Area of the bull's-eye}}{\text{Total area}}

\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=(1000)/(30000)

\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=(1)/(30)

\text{Probability of getting a bull's-eye}=0.0333\approx 3\%

Therefore the correct option is B.

chances of hitting bull's-eye is (1000)/(30,000) that =(1)/(30) 1-:30= 0.03= 3%

I will use the quadratic equation to solve this:
x= -b +(or minus, both) √b² + 4ac
     --------------------------------------------
                          2a
So, your numbers would be:   a = 3
                                           b = 13 
                                           c = 10
Then, solve: x = -13 +(or minus, both) √169 + 120
                        --------------------------------------------------
                                               6
                       = -13 +(or minus, both) 17
                         ------------------------------------
                                        6
So, first do the plus: -13 + 17
                              --------------
                                    6
                             = 2/3
Then do the minus:    -13-17
                                ------------
                                    6
                              = 5

Your answer is: 2/3 and 5

suppose you went to a carnival. the price in was $6, and you paid $0.50 to get on each ride. if you went to the carnival and rodeo 11 rides, how much did you spend?

Answers

entrance fee:$6
cost of each rides:$0.50
total no. of rides taken:11
cost of 11 rides:11×$0.50
=$5.50
total amount spent:$5.50+$6
=$11.50
^^hope it helps :) sorry if the answer is wrong

Answer: 11.50


Step-by-step explanation:

6$ to get in+ rides=$

11(rides)*.50(price of rides)=5.50

5.50+6=$11.50


Could someone help me understand how to solve questions like these? Thank you!

Answer:

  y=-(1)/(4)x+(5)/(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve a question like this by finding the slope and intercept of the desired line and putting those values into the answer form.

__

The relationship between slopes of perpendicular lines is that one is the negative reciprocal of the other.

The slope-intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

   y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The given line is in "slope-intercept form," so you can identify the slope as 4 and the y-intercept as 6. (For this question, the y-intercept of the given line is irrelevant.)

Using the relationship between slopes of perpendicular lines, you now know the slope of the line you want is m = -1/(slope of given line) = -1/4. This is the coefficient of x in the slope-intercept form, so fills the blanks on the left.

To make the line go through the point (1, 1), you need to choose a y-intercept that makes (x, y) = (1, 1) a solution to the equation. For a y-intercept of "b", that means ...

  y = -1/4x + b

  1 = -1/4·1 + b . . . . . . . . fill in the values of x and y at the given point

  1 + 1/4 = b = 5/4 . . . . . add 1/4 to both sides of the equation

Now you know the equation you want is ...

  y=-(1)/(4)x+(5)/(4)

Red kangaroos can reach speeds up to 50 feet per second. Use the linear graph at the left to answer the questions. What is the change in y-values from Point A to Point B? What is the change in x-values from Point A to Point B? What is the rate of change of the linear function in feet per second?

Answers

we are given points A and B

A=(3,150)

B=(4,200)

we can find points

x1=3 , y1=150

x2=4 , y2=200

(a)

the change in y-values from Point A to Point B is

=y_2-y_1

now, we can plug values

=200-150

=50feet...........Answer

(b)

the change in x-values from Point A to Point B is

=x_2-x_1

now, we can plug values

=4-3

=1second...........Answer

(c)

the rate of change of the linear function in feet per second is

=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

now, we can plug values

=(50)/(1)feet/sec

=50feet/sec.................Answer


The straight line graph indicates that rate of change of the distance traveled with time by the red kangaroo is a constant

  • The change in y-values from point A to point B is 50 feet.
  • The change in x-values from point A to point B is 1 second.
  • The rate of change of the linear function is 50 feet per second.

Reasons:

The y-values at point A = 150 feet

The y-values at point B = 200 feet

Change in y-values from point A to point B, Δy is given as follows;

Δy = y-values at point B - y-values at point A

Δy = 200 feet - 150 feet = 50 feet

Change in y-values from point A to point B, Δy = 50 feet

The x-values at point A = 3 seconds

The x-values at point B = 4 seconds

Change in x-values from point A to point B, Δx is given as follows;

Δx = x-values at point B - x-values at point A

Δx = 4 seconds - 3 seconds= 1 second

Change in x-values from point A to point B, Δx = 1 second.

The rate of change of the linear function is (\Delta y)/(\Delta x), therefore, we have;

Rate \ of \  change \  of \  the  \ linear  \ function = (\Delta y)/(\Delta x) = (50 \ feet)/(1 \ second) = 50 \ feet \ per \ second
