Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound
chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds
Terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56

p = represents the pounds jelly beans.
c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops

p + c  = 2.1
0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56

c = 2.1 - p  ; number of pounds of chocolate drops

0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56
0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41
0.31p = 0.15
p = 0.15/0.31
p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans

c = 2.1 - 0.48
c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.

Which of the following represents x =1/3y written in general form?
Serhud [2]

If you would like to write x = 1/3 * y in general form, you can do this using the following steps:

The general form of the equation is: ax + by + c = 0.

x = 1/3 * y

x - 1/3 * y = 0


The correct result would be x - 1/3 * y = 0.

Last season two running back's on the college football team rush for a combined 1550 yards one rushed four times as many yards a
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The player with the most runs had a rush of 1,240 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of yards that was rushed by one of two person given their combined run and an extra information.

Firstly, let the person that had the smaller number of rush have a rush of x rushes. The second person has a rush of 4 times the other. This makes a number of 4x rushes

By adding both together, we have a total of 1550 yards

Mathematically, this means that x + 4x = 1550

5x = 1550

x = 1550/5 = 310 rushes

The second player had a rush of 4x and that is 4 * 310 = 1,240 rushes

The figures below are similar.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

  a) 2.5

  b) 6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

For similar figures, the ratio of any corresponding linear dimensions is the same. The ratio of areas is the square of that.

<h3>Application</h3>

The ratio of linear dimensions, larger to smaller, is ...

  (30 yd)/(12 yd) = 2.5

<h3>a) Perimeter</h3>

Perimeter is a linear dimension, the sum of side lengths. The ratio of perimeters is 2.5.

<h3>b) Area</h3>

The ratio of areas, larger to smaller, is the square of the scale factor for side lengths:

  (2.5)² = 6.25

The ratio of the areas of the larger to smaller figure is 6.25.

Alex is making puppets for a show. He bought all the string needed for $125. It costs $18 for the remaining materials to make ea
Alexus [3.1K]

Alex bought all the string needed for $125.

It costs $18 for the remaining materials to make each puppet.

So if we closely observe then we see that here $125 is the fixed cost because its not going to change with number of puppets.

And the variable cost is $18.

In this case we can model a Total cost function C(x) for for x number of puppets as below

C(x)=125+18x\\ \\ \text{Here x is the number of puppets}\\ \\ \text{Since in our case the number of puppets is 50 so replace x by 50 we get }\\ \\ C(50)=125+18*50\\ \\ C(50)=125+900\\ \\ C(50)=1025  \ dollar.

The total cost to make 50 puppets=$1025

Write the quadratic function in vertex form, then identify the vertex
34kurt

Answer:

vertex = (- 10, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.

Given

h(x) = x² + 20x + 90

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

h(x) = x² + 2(10)x + 100 - 100 + 90

      = (x + 10)² - 10 ← in vertex form

with (h, k ) = (- 10, - 10 )
