Answer:

220 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candy bars sold=c

Let the number of fruit snacks sold=f

A total of 650 items were sold.

  • Therefore: c+f=650

Candy bars are sold for $2.50

Fruit snacks are sold for $1.50

Total Income =$1,195

  • Therefore: 2.5c+1.5f=1195

We solve the resulting system of equation for c, the number of candy bars sold.

  • c+f=650
  • 2.5c+1.5f=1195

From the first equation, f=650-c

Substitute f=650-c into 2.5c+1.5f=1195

2.5c+1.5(650-c)=1195

2.5c+975-1.5c=1195

Collect like terms

2.5c-1.5c=1195-975

c=220

Therefore, 220 candy bars were sold.

Solve please:<br><br> 1/5 (25-5a) = 4-a
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: There is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 1 / 5 (25) + 1 / 5 (-5a) = 4 - a

2.) 5 - a = 4 - a

3.) 5 - a + a = 4 - a + a

4.) 5 = 4

The variable a is completely removed, leaving the final answer as 5 = 4, which isn't true.

A store sells sandals for 25% off the regular price. The regular price of the sandals is $32.50. what is the sale?
ozzi

Answer:

$24.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular price of sandals = $32.50

Store sells sandals for 25% of the regular price.

Hence selling price =(100-25)% of the regular price.

In other words, selling price = 75% of regular price

= 75% of $32.50

= \[\frac{75}{100}*32.50\]

= \[24.375\]

Hence the sale price of the sandals is $24.375

This is $8.125 less than the regular price of the sandal.

An isosceles trapezoid ABCD with height 2 units has all its vertices on the parabola y=a(x+1)(x−5). What is the value of a, if p
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a = -0.3575

Step-by-step explanation:

The points A and D lie on the x-axis, this means that they are the x-intercepts of the parabola, and therefore we can find their location.

The points A and B are located where

y=a(x+1)(x-5)=0

This gives

x=-1

y=5

Now given the coordinates of A, we are in position to find the coordinates of the point B. Point B must have y coordinate of y=2 (because the base of the trapezoid is at y=0), and the x coordinate of B, looking at the figure, must be x coordinate of A plus horizontal distance between A and B, i.e

B_x=A_x+\frac{2}{tan(60)} =-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3}

Thus the coordinates of B are:

B=(-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3},2)

Now this point B lies on the parabola, and therefore it must satisfy the equation  y=a(x+1)(x-5).

Thus

2=a((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})+1)((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})-5)

Therefore

a=\frac{2}{((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})+1)((-1+\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{3})-5)}

\boxed{a=-0.3575}
