Answer:

  • 147 sodas
  • 88 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is similar to many others in which the sum of two quantities and their difference are given. The solution can be found easily when the equations for the relations are written in standard form.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let s and h represent numbers of sodas and hot dogs sold, respectively. The given relations are ...

  • s +h = 235 . . . . . combined total
  • s -h = 59 . . . . . . difference in the quantities

<h3>Solution</h3>

Adding the two equations eliminates one variable.

  (s +h) +(s -h) = (235) +(59)

  2s = 294 . . . . simplify

  s = 147 . . . . . .divide by 2

  h = 147 -59 = 88 . . . . h is 59 less

147 sodas and 88 hot dogs were sold.

<em>Additional comment</em>

The solution to a "sum and difference" problem is always the same. One of the numbers is half the sum of those given, and the other is half their difference. ((235-59)/2 = 88)

Maribel deposited $1,500 in a new account at her bank. -The bank pays 4.5% annual simple interest on this account. -Maribel did
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1500+337.50 = $1,837.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to calculate the interest on $1500 at 4.5% interest per year after 5 year(s).

The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:

<em> I = P x r x t</em>

Where:

P is the principal amount, $1500.00.

r is the interest rate, 4.5% per year, or in decimal form, 4.5/100=0.045.

t is the time involved, 5....year(s) time periods.

So, t is 5....year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 1500 × 0.045 × 5 to get that:

The interest is: $337.50

Answer:

a. Find the multiples of 4 and 12 in the 30 to 40 range:

4 ⇒ 32, 36, 40

12 ⇒ 36

Answer = 36

b. Divisors of 24 ⇒ 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

Answer = 3

3 is the only odd divisor.

c. Gcd = Greatest common divisor that isn't zero.

35 divisors ⇒ 1, 5, 7, 35

42 divisors ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Answer = 7

d. 98 divisors ⇒ 1,2,7,14,49,98

99 divisors ⇒ 1,3,9,11,33,99

In ΔABC shown below, if BG = 38 what is DG?<br><br> A) 19<br><br> B) 57<br><br> C) 38<br><br> D)17
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Basically G is centeroid (intersection point all three medians) so it divides BD in the ratio of 2:1

if bd is x then 2x/3 = BG i.e 38

so GD is x/3 i.e 19
