what is the measure of angle X? A) 20
B) 35
C) 50
D) 65
3) The yearbook club is having a bake sale to raise money for the senior class. Large cupcakes are sold for $1.25 each and small cupcakes are sold for $0.75 each. If 105 cupcakes were sold for a total amount of $109.75, how many large cupcakes did the yearbook club sell?
A) 43
B) 55
C) 62
D) 16
4) Solve the following system of equations using substitution. What is the value of y?
In order to solve this you need to represent the measure of x in terms of y. Since x is 30 less than twice as big as y, we can express it using the following: 2y - 30.
Now we can add that to y and set equal to 90 to solve. 2y - 30 + y = 90 3y - 30 = 90 3y = 120 y = 40.
Now knowing that y = 40, we know that x = 50, since they add up to 90.
3) They sold 62 large cupcakes.
This can be found by setting up a system of equations.
The first equation should represent the number sold totally. x + y = 105, where x is equal to the number of large cupcakes and y is equal to the number of small cupcakes.
The second equation should be equal to the amount of money made. 1.25x + .75y = 109.75.
Now to solve this system, you need to multiply the first equation by -1.25. This will give us a new equation of -1.25x - 1.25y = -131.25.
Now if you add the new equation to the second equation, the x values will cancel, giving you the following: -.5y = -21.5 or y = 43.
We can then determine the number of large cupcakes (x) by subtracting our y value from the 105 total, leaving us with 62.
4) The answer for this question is none of your possible answers. The y value should be 25 (the x-value though should be 15, which is the A answer).
We can find this by solving the second equation for x. x + 2y = 65 x = -2y + 65.
Now that we have a value for x, we can sub it into the first equation in place of x and solve for y. 2x + 3y = 105 2(-2y + 65) + 3y = 105 -4y + 130 + 3y = 105 -y + 130 = 105 -y = -25 y = 25. </span>
What is the question I understand the part where you need a ratio as a fraction but, is there a way you can put a pic of the numbers or put the numbers in the question?
Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100 = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42 = 3654.97 = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.
