John will pay $8.68 for the combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries.

Let: b=cost of banana per pound and c=cost of cherries per pound

Equation 1: For 3 pounds of cherries and 2 pounds of bananas, John pays a total of $24.95.

3c + 2b =$24.95

Equation 2: The cost of bananas is $6.50 less than a pound of cherries.

b= c - $6.50

We can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve for the cost of cherries per pound.

3c + (2)(c-$6.50)= $24.95

3c + 2c -$13.00 = $24.95

5c = $24.95 + $13.00

c = $7.59

Substituting the value of c to the second equation to solve for b.

b= $7.59 - $6.50 = $1.09

The combined cost of 1 pound of banana and 1 pound of cherries is $1.09 + $7.59 or $8.68.

HURRY PLEASE!!!!! Triangle RST is translated 2 units left and then reflected over the y-axis.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The correct options are 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of triangle are S(-4,4), T(-1,4), R(-1,1).

If triangle translated 2 units left,

(x,y)\rightarrow (x-2,y)

and then reflected over the y-axis,

(x-2,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

The relation between image and preimage is

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)                          ..... (1)

The vertices of image are

S(-4,4)\rightarrow S'(6,4)

T(-1,4)\rightarrow T'(3,4)

R(-1,1)\rightarrow R'(3,1)

Therefore the vertices of image are S'(6,4),T'(3,4), R'(3,1).

1. A reflection over the y-axis and then a translation 2 units right is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

It is equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 1 is correct.

2. A 180 rotation about the origin, then a translation 2 units right, and then a reflection over the x-axis is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x+2,y)

It is equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 2 is correct.

3. A reflection over the y-axis and then a translation 2 units left is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x-2,y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 3 is incorrect.

4. A 180 rotation about the origin, then a translation 2 units left, and then a reflection over the x-axis is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (-x-2,y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 4 is incorrect.

5. A reflection over the x-axis and then a translation 2 units right is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+2,-y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 5 is incorrect.

6. A reflection over the x-axis and then a translation 2 units left is defined as

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+2,-y)

It is not equivalent to relation 1, therefore option 6 is incorrect.

Therefore the correct options are 1 and 2.

Quinton bought x number of shares for p dollars and paid a 0.5% commission. He sold the stock for y dollars and paid a flat fee
Ksju [112]

Answer:

y-(0.05xp+7)

Step-by-step explanation:-

As per the statement:

Quinton bought x number of shares for p dollars and paid a 0.5% commission

⇒0.05xp

It is also given that: He sold the stock for y dollars and paid a flat fee of $7.

⇒y-7

then;

Net proceeds is given as:

y-7-0.05xp = y-(0.05xp+7)

Therefore, Quinton's net proceeds algebraically is y-(0.05xp+7)
