Answer:

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of boxes of cookies sold

y ----> the number of boxes of candies sold

we know that

The word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

so

The inequality that represent this problem is

5.25x+8.75y\geq 200

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line   5.25x+8.75y=200

using a graphing tool

The solution is the shaded area -----> see the attached figure

Find out the minimum boxes of cookies needed to sell to reach the goal

assuming only cookies are sold

For y=0

5.25x+8.75(0)\geq 200

5.25x\geq 200

solve for x

x\geq 38.1

Round up

therefore

The minimum boxes of cookies is 39

Find the sum (the total measure) of the interior angles of a 17 sided polygon??
Lunna [17]

The formula in finding the sum or the total measure of the interior angles of polygon having n sides is:

Sum of interior angles = (n – 2) 180

Where n = number of sides of the polygon

In this problem, you are asked for the sum of the interior angles of a 17 sided polygon. You have to substitute the number of sides to the formula:

Sum of interior angles = (17 – 2) 180

Sum of interior angles = (15) 180

Sum of interior angles = 2,700 degrees

zysi [14]

Answer:

1. If x=5, 3*5=15, 15*15=225 + y (3) = 228.

2. If y=4, then 10*4 = 40, 4^2 is 16, so 40 + 16 is 56.

I might be wrong, but the first one you answered, x^2, x= 1/2, I think that is wrong. when something is squared, you don't go, "Oh, well since 1/2 equals 1, that's the answer." The way to figure out something like this is... 1/2 times 1/2, which is .25, or 1/4. Another example: 3^5 . The way to find this out is 3*3*3*3*3 = 243. But  you don't go 3*5, because that answer would be 15, which is not correct.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

315 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given ratio, we can figure out the number of children on the train by doing cross multiplication.

Let x = # of children on train.

7/2 = 245/x

7x = 490

x = 70 children

The total number of people = 70 + 245 = 315 people total
