2.52 pounds + 1.26 pounds = 3.78 pounds of salad ÷ 18 people = .21 pounds of salad per person

you add the pounds because that is everything she used to make the salad. then you divide by 18 because there are 18 people eating the salad and everyone gets exactly the same amount. Hope this helps :) this should help if you have more questions like this :)
(x pounds + y pounds = total pounds, total pounds ÷ # of people = pounds per person)

Let x = pounds of $12 per pound coffee

then

20-x = pounds of $9 per pound coffee

.

12x + 9(20-x) = 10(20)

12x + 180 - 9x = 200

3x + 180 = 200

3x = 20

x = 20/3

x = 6 and 2/3 pounds of $12 per pound coffee

.

Amount of $9 per pound coffee:

20-x = 20-20/3 = 60/3 - 20/3 = 40/3

or

13 and 1/3 pounds of $9 per pound coffee

What is the peremeter of this polygon? (With picture)
lyudmila [28]
Check the picture below.

so.. simply, use the distance formula, to get their length an add them up, and that's the perimeter of the polygon.


\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\\
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 4}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\\
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\\
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ -1}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+(4-2)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(2)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{3^2+2^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{13}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-2-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{1^2+(-6)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{37}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+[-3-(-2)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-3+2)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-1)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{26}}

\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-1-(-2)]^2+[2-(-3)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-1+2)^2+(2+3)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(1)^2+(5)^2}\implies \boxed{d=\sqrt{26}}

so, those are their lengths, sum them all up, that's the polygon's perimeter.

Curtis plays a trivia game he earns 2 points for each correct answer and loses 0.25 points for each incorrect answer he get 21 c
Maslowich

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Curtis is playing a trivia game.

Number of points earned for each correct answer = 2

Number of points lost for each correct answer = 0.25

Given that:

Number of correct answers given by Curtis = 21

Number of wrong answers given by Curtis = 4

To find:

Total score of the game by Curtis?

Solution:

First of all, let us find the points earned by correct answers.

Points earned by correct answers = Number of correct answers multiplied by Points earned on one correct answer.

Points earned by correct answers = 21 \times 2 = 42

Now, let us find the points to be lost by wrong answers.

Points lost by wrong answers = Number of wrong answers multiplied by Points lost on one correct answer.

Points lost by wrong answers = 4 \times 0.25 = 1

The score of the game can be calculated by subtracting the points lost from the points earned.

Score = 42 - 1 = <em>41</em>
