Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
Answer:
47.75 + x Less-than-or-equal-to 50
= 47.75 + x ≤ 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the above Question:
Not going over the 50 pound case mean, less than or equal to 50 pounds
Let the extra pound of weight be represented as x
Hence, the inequality equation that can be used to determine how much more weight can be added to the suitcase without going over the 50-pound weight limit =
47.75 + x ≤ 50
The correct answer is C all integers are whole numbers
Answer:
C. 0.077
Step-by-step explanation:
Use binomial probability.
P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ
where n is the number of trials,
r is the number of successes,
p is the probability of success,
and q is the probability of failure (1−p).
n = 10, r = 4, p = 0.64, q = 0.36.
P = ₁₀C₄ (0.64)⁴ (0.36)⁶
P = 210 (0.64)⁴ (0.36)⁶
P = 0.077
