Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.The members of a c

ooking club are making cakes, which they will sell at a street fair for $18 apiece. It cost $17 for a booth at the fair, and the ingredients for each cake cost $1. At some point, the club members will sell enough cakes so that their sales cover their expenditures. How many cakes will they have sold? How much will the sales and expenditures be?

Let:

C = Total cost

R = Total revenue

x = Number of cakes

a = Cost of the ingredients for each cake = $1

b = Cost of a booth at the fair = $17

c = Selling price of each cake = $18

Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C=ax+b \\ C=x+17 \\ ------- \\ R=18x \end{gathered}

At some point, the club members will sell enough cakes so that their sales cover their expenditures. Therefore:

\begin{gathered} C=R \\ x+17=18x \\ _{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}x\colon \\ 18x-x=17 \\ 17x=17 \\ x=\frac{17}{17} \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

Answer:

1 cake and $18

$10,000 at an annual rate of 7%, compounded semi-annually, for 2 years
forsale [732]

Answer:

\$13,107.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Since interest is compounded semi-annually (half a year or 6 months), in a spawn of 2 years, the interest will have been compounded 4 times. As given in the problem, each time the interest is compounded, the new balance will be 107% or 1.07 times the amount of the old balance.

Therefore, we can set up the following equation to find the new balance after 2 years:

\text{New balanace}=10,000\text{ (old balance)}\cdot 1.07\cdot 1.07\cdot 1.07\cdot 1.07,\\\text{New balanace}=10,000\cdot 1.07^4=\boxed{\$13,107.96}

Please help!! I'll give brainleist
anygoal [31]

Answer:

m + g < 40

12m + 14g  > 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jordan is paid $12 per hour for mowing lawns and $14 per hour for planting gardens.

Let m represents the number of hours mowing lawns and g represents the number of hours planting gardens.

He can work a maximum of 40 hours per week, and would like to earn at least $250 this week.

Then, the system of the inequality becomes

m + g < 40

12m + 14g  > 250

The base of a circular fence with radius 10 m is given by x = 10 cost, y = 10 sin t. the height of the fence at position (x, y)
antiseptic1488 [7]

The parametric equations for x and y describe a circle of radius 10 m, so the length of the base of the fence is the length of the circumference of a circle of radius 10 m. The formula for that circumference (C) is ...

... C = 2πr

... C = 2π·(10 m) = 20π m

The height as a function of angle (t) is found by substituting for x and y.

... h(t) = h(x(t), y(t)) = 4 + 0.01·((10cos(t))²-)10sin(t))²) = 4+cos(2t)

The average value of this over the range 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π is 4, since the cosine function has two full cycles in that range, and its average value over a cycle is zero.

Thus, the area of one side of the fence is that of a rectangle 20π m long and 4 m wide. That will be

... (20π m)·(4 m) = 80π m²

The amount of paint required to cover both sides of the fence is

... 2×(80π m²)×(1 L)/(10 m²) = 16π L ≈ 50.3 L

_____

You can work out the integral for area as a function of t. When you do, you will find it gives this same result.

A plane flies at a steady rate of 40 mph while a second plane flies at a steady rate of 100 mph. The planes are 200 miles apart
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

speed of the first plane in positive direction, = 40 mph

speed of the second plane in negative direction(opposite direction) = -100 mph

distance between the two planes = 200 miles

Let the time the two planes will meet = t

the position of the first plane at this time "t" = 40t

the position of the second plane at this time "t" = -100t

(40t)>--------------------------------<(-100t), this space between them is 200 miles.

Thus, the difference in the distance they traveled before meeting should be equal to 200 miles.

40t - (-100t) = 200

40t + 100t = 200

140t = 200

t = 200 / 140

t = 1.43 hours

Therefore, the time the two planes will meet is 1.43 hours

What’s the correct volume ?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

V = 12π

Step-by-step explanation:

Given radius of cone, r = 3 and y = 5

by Pythagorean theorem (or by recognizing that this is a standard 3-4-5 right triangle), we can determine that height of cone, x = 4 in

volume of cone is given by :

V= (1/3) πr²x

= (1/3) x π x 3² x 4

V = 12π
