I have attached a screenshot with the images of the two popcorn bags used by the theater.

Part (a):
Bag A:
Volume of bag = area of base * height
Volume of bag = length * width * height
We have:
volume = 96 in³
length = 3 in
width = 4 in
Therefore:
96 = 3 * 4 * height
96 = 12 * height
height of bag A = 8 in
Bag B:
Volume of bag = area of base * height
Volume of bag = length * width * height
We have:
volume = 96 in³
length = 4 in
width = 4 in
Therefore:
96 = 4 * 4 * height
96 = 16 * height
height of bag B = 6 in

Part (b):
To determine the amount of paper needed, we will need to calculate the surface of each bag. Excluding the top base, each bag will have 5 faces. Four side faces (each two opposite are equal) and the base.
Bag A:
Surface area = area of base + 2*area of front face + 2*area of side face
Surface area = (3*4) + 2(8*4) + 2(8*3) 
Surface area = 12 + 64 + 48 
Surface area of bag A = 124 in²
Bag B:
Surface area = area of base + 2*area of front face + 2*area of side face
Surface area = (4*4) + 2(6*4) + 2(6*4) 
Surface area = 16 + 48 + 48 
Surface area of bag B = 112 in²
From the above calculations, we can deduce that the theater should choose bag B in order to reduce the amount of paper needed.

Hope this helps :)

Afan pays $875 for 3 premium seat tickets. Another fan pays $2125 for 8 premium seat tickets. Write a linear model for the cost
grandymaker [24]

The equation is : C=250t +125 where C is the cost and t represent the number of tickets purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of premium seat ticket be C

Let the number of tickets a fan buys to be t

Then, presenting the information as ordered pairs of coordinates (x,y) will be;

Fan 1, (3,875)

Fan 2, (8,2125)

Plot the ordered pairs as coordinates on a graph tool, find the slope of the linear graph and equation in slope intercept form as;

m=Δy/Δx

m=2125-875/8-3

m=1250/5

m=250

Equation of the graph,

Δy/Δx=250

y-875/x-3 =250

y-875=250(x-3)

y-875=250x-750

y=250x-750+875

y=250x+125

C=250t +125 where C is the cost and t represent the number of tickets purchased

Samuel has an auto insurance policy that covers theft up to $15,000, with a $250 deductible. His car is worth $8,000. What will
Yanka [14]

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

If the auto insurance covers theft up to $15,000 and his car value is less than it ($8,000), he is going to pay only $250 deductible. It means that it covers values until $15,000.

Helen spent $145 for shoes. This was $55 more than twice what she spent for a bag. How much was the bag?
marin [14]

Answer:

45 DOLLARS

Step-by-step explanation:

For these kind of problems, write an equation to figure out the answer.

55 + 2x = 145

x represents the bag cost

145 is the shoe cost

Take out the constant, which is 55, from both sides. A constant is a useful term you should learn.

The result is: 2x = 90

Divide 2x by 2, to get x, which is the bag cost, by itself.

Result: x= 45

Since x is the bag cost, the bag costs 45 dollars
