Not sure about matrix equation but this is how I answer it.

Given:
muffins = 3.50
beverage = 1.75
total number of items = 32
total cost = 87.50

m + b = 32
3.50m + 1.75b = 87.50

m = 32 - b

3.50(32-b) + 1.75b = 87.50
112 - 3.50b + 1.75b = 87.50
-3.50b + 1.75b = 87.50 - 112
-1.75b = -24.50
b = -24.50 / -1.75
b = 14

m = 32 - b
m = 18

The class bought 18 muffins and 14 beverages.

3.50m + 1.75b = 87.50
3.50(18) + 1.75(14) = 87.50
63 + 24.50 = 87.50
87.50 = 87.50

Answer:

(a) \begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 50\end{bmatrix}

(b) determinant of the matrix is: -1

(c) number of muffins purchased=18

     number of beverages purchased=14.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) let us assume that the number of muffins purchased=x

number of beverage purchased=y

as a class purchased a total of 32 items that means x+y=32

amount spent=$87.50 that means 3.50x+1.75y=87.50

which could also be written as: 2x+y=50

now in matrix form it could be represented as:

\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 50\end{bmatrix}

(b) the determinant of the matrix\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix} is given by 1\times1-2\times1=1-2=-1

hence the determinant of the matrix is: -1

(c) now on solving the matrix we need to apply row operations in it to make it a upper triangular matrix so that it would be easy for us to calculate the value of x and y.

\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 2 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 50\end{bmatrix}

we multiply row 1 by 2 and subtract  row 2 from it to get

\begin{bmatrix} 1 &1 \\ 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\cdot\begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}32\\ 14\end{bmatrix}

on using the backward substitution in the matrix we get y=14

and x=18

Hence, number of muffins purchased=18

             number of beverages purchased=14.

Given the formula b=rs/t solve for s
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

s = \frac{bt}{r}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for s, you need to follow these steps.

First multiply by t both sides of the equation.

b = \frac{rs}{t}

bt = \frac{rst}{t}

We get bt = rs

Now we divide by r, both sides of the equation.

\frac{bt}{r} = \frac{rs}{r}

Finallly we obtain:

\frac{bt}{r} = s or

s = \frac{bt}{r}

Ram noticed three students used 1 2/10 dm of tape.what was the total used for three students???
OLga [1]

Answer:

18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>From my understanding, this is 1 whole 2 upon 10</em>

<u>Step 1: Convert mixed fraction into fraction</u>

<em>Multiply whole number by denominator: 1 x 10 = 10</em>

<em>Add numerator: 10 + 2 = 12</em>

<em>Write the result as the numerator and use the same denominator.</em>

12/10

<u>Step 2: Find the total tape used</u>

<em>From my understanding, each student used 12/10 of the tap</em>

<em>So 3 students used: 12/10 x 3 =</em> 18/5

Therefore, the total tape used for three students was 18/5.

the gross earnings • group health insurance (assuming 15% of gross earnings) pension deduction (assuming 6.5% of gross earnings)
sveta [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Calculate the gross earnings:</u>

  • 40*7.75 = 310.00

<u>Health insurance deduction:</u>

  • 310.00*15/100 = 46.50

<u>Pension deduction:</u>

  • 310.00*6.5/100 = 20.15

<u>Total deductions:</u>

  • 55.00 + 15.50 + 21.25 + 46.50 + 20.15 = 158.40

<u>Net pay:</u>

  • 310.00 - 158.40 = 151.60
