Adam and Ian go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends. Adam spends a total of $62.75 on 2 drinks and

7 bags of popcorn. Ian spends a total of $43.00 on 4 drinks and 4 bags of popcorn. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one drink and the price of one bag of popcorn. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

The cost of one drink is $2.5 and the cost of one bag of popcorn is $8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let price of one drink is x and the price of one bag of popcorn is y.

Adam spends a total of $62.75 on 2 drinks and 7 bags of popcorn.

$2x+7y=62.75$

$2x=62.75-7y$ ......(1)

Ian spends a total of $43.00 on 4 drinks and 4 bags of popcorn.

$4x+4y=43.00$

Now use substitute the value of 2x in above equation.

$2(62.75-7y)+4y=43.00$

$125.5-14y+4y=43.00$

$-10y=43.00-125.5$

$10y=82.5$

$y=8.25$

Hence the value of y is $8.25

Now find the value of x as shown:

$2x=62.75-7(8.25)$

$2x=5$

$x=2.5$

Hence, the cost of one drink is $2.5 and the cost of one bag of popcorn is $8.25

For a 95% confidence interval what would the sample size need to be as it's most conservative to have a 2% margin of error

aleksley [76]

Answer:

<em>The size of the sample 'n' = 2401</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step:1</em></u>

Given that the margin of error = 2 % = 0.02

The margin of error is determined by

$M.E = \frac{Z_{0.05} \sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} }$

we know that the proportion

$\sqrt{p(1-p)} < \frac{1}{2}$

<u><em>Step:2</em></u>

<em>The margin of error is determined by </em>

<em> </em> $0.02 = \frac{1.96( \frac{1}{2} ) }{\sqrt{n} }$ <em></em>

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96}{2 X 0.02}$

√n = 49

Squaring on both sides, we get

n = 49 × 49

n = 2401

<u>Final answer:-</u>

<em>The size of the sample 'n' = 2401 </em>

Am I correct ??? I don’t really know

Setler [38]

What you have here is a situation with two <em>similar triangles. </em>The triangle in the lower left is similar to the triangle in the upper right - I've included an image with "cutouts" of those triangles so you can see the similarities. Similar triangles have a very important property: <em>the ratios of their corresponding sides are equivalent</em>. Here, we can set up a ratio between the sides of length 64 and x on the larger triangle, and the corresponding sides of length x and 36 on the smaller triangle. Setting the two equal to each other, we have

$\frac{64}{x}= \frac{x}{36}$

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 36 and x, we get

$64\cdot36=x^2$

finally, we take the square root of both sides of the equation to find x:

$\sqrt{64\cdot36}=x\\
\sqrt{64}\sqrt{36}=x\\
8\cdot6=x\\
48=x$

Corresponding angles form when a transversal intersects with two parallel lines.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: True

When two lines are crossed by another line (which is called the Transversal), the angles in matching corners are called corresponding angles. When the two lines are parallel Corresponding Angles are equal.
