Marianne has been collecting donations for her biscuit stall at the school summer fayre. There are some luxury gift tins of bisc

uits to be sold at £5 each, normal packets at £1 each, and mini-packs of 2 biscuits at 10p each. She tells Amy that she has recieved exactly 100 donations in total, with a collective value of £100, amd that her stock of £1 packets is very low compared with the other items. Amy wants to work out how many of each item Marianne has. Show how she can do it.

The problem conditions give rise to 2 equations in 3 unknowns. Let L, M, N represent the number of Luxury, Mini, and Normal packets sold.
.. L +M +N = 100 . . . . . . the number of packets sold
.. 5L +0.1M +N = 100 . . the value of donations
These result in the relationships
.. L = (9/40)M
.. N = 100 -(49/40)M

There are three integer solutions in which the numbers are non-negative.
.. (L, M, N) = (0, 0, 100) or (9, 40, 51) or (18, 80, 2)

If Marianne sold 100 normal packets, her stock would be "very low" compared to the others.

If Marianne sold 51 normal packets, her stock may be "very low" with respect to the others, depending on how many of each she started with. This might be the solution if we require non-zero numbers of all packets were sold.

I don't know what 10p is so before I answer I'd have to know what that is

A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1. What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to
VikaD [51]

Answer:

y = 6x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- interceot form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 12y = - 1 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

12y = - 2x - 1 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - \frac{1}{6} x - \frac{1}{12} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{1}{6}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{-\frac{1}{6} } = 6

Note the line passes through (0, 9) on the y- axis ⇒ c = 9

y = 6x + 9 ← equation of perpendicular line

andrezito [222]
Given that a<span> local RadioShack store wants to buy a new line of plasma TVs. Manufacturer A offers chain discounts of 18/12, and Manufacturer B offers terms of 17/13.

Let the list price of the plasma TVs be x, then after a chain discount of 18/12 by Manufacturer A, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.18)(1 - 0.12)x = 0.82(0.88)x = 0.7216x

Also, after the discount of 17/13 by manufacturer B, the selling price of the plasma TVs will be (1 - 0.17)(1 - 0.13)x = 0.83(0.87)x = 0.7221x

Thus, the final selling price after discount by manufacturer A is 0.7216 and the final selling price after dscount by manufacturer B is 0.7221x.

Therefore, Manufacturer A offers a </span><span>single equivalent discount rate that is the best deal.</span>
