A ski rental store rents a pair of skis for $44 a day and a snowboard for $58 a day. Yesterday, the store made $2,232 on ski and

snowboard rentals. They rented 9 more pairs of skis than snowboards. Write a system of equations that could be used to represent this situation and to find the number of ski rentals and snowboard rentals.

First, let the number of skis rented by x and the number of snowboards rented by y. We can then assemble the first equation from the amount of money made from the rentals.


44x + 58y = 2232


The second equation can come from the fact that 9 more skis were rented than snowboards.


y = x - 9


Therefore our system is:


44x + 58y = 2232

y = x - 9

You have $60 and your sister has $120. You are saving $14 per week and your sister is saving $10 per week. How long will it be b
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

15 weeks

The amount of money is  270

Step-by-step explanation:

You: 60 +14x

Sister: 120+10x

Set them equal to each other

60+14x = 120+10x

Subtract 10x from each side

60+4x= 120

Subtract 60 from each side

4x= 60

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

15 weeks

The amount of money is 120+10*15 = 120+150 = 270

Which statement is true about whether A and B are independent events? A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.1
love history [14]
The events A and B are independent if the  probability that event A occurs does not affect the probability that event B occurs.
A and B are independent if the equation P(A∩B) = P(A) P(B) holds true.
P(A∩B) is the probability that both event A and B occur.
Conditional probability is the probability of an event given that some other event first occurs.
P(B|A)=P(A∩B)/P(A)
In the case where events<span> A and B are </span>independent<span> the </span>conditional probability<span> of </span>event<span> B given </span>event<span> A is simply the </span>probability<span> of </span>event<span> B, that is P(B).</span>
Statement 1:A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.12. This is true.
Statement 2:<span>A and B are independent events because P(A∣B) = P(A) = 0.25.
This is true.
 Statement 3:</span><span>A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.12 and P(A) = 0.25. 
This is true.
Statement 4:</span><span>A and B are not independent events because P(A∣B) = 0.375 and P(A) = 0.25
This is true.</span>

What is the counter example of when it rains it pours
Ganezh [65]
A counterexample proves something wrong. To disprove "When it rains, it pours," you could give an example of a time when it rains and does not pour. What if it only rains a little? What if it rains frogs? How are you supposed to "pour" frogs? I dunno. This is sort of an open-ended question. I'd go with "It drizzles, but does not pour."

The first jumbo jet was the Boeing 747, which is 70.5 meters long. The wingspan of a 747 is 60 meters. A model 747 has a wingspa
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

94 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up and solve an equation of ratios:

wingspan         length

60 meters        70.5 m

----------------- = ----------------

80 cm                   x

Cross multiplying:

(60 m)x = (70.5 m)(80 cm)

Solve for x by dividing both sides of this equation by 60 m:

x = (70.5 m)(80 cm) / (60 m) = 94 cm

The length of the model should be 94 cm.
