Answer:

1 hot dog costs $0.75

1 bratwurst costs $1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the price per dozen of hot dogs and bratwursts respectively.

The first day they sold 8 dozen hot dogs and 13 dozen bratwursts for ​$282.60

8x + 13y = 282.60

The second day they sold 10 dozen hot dogs and 15 dozen bratwursts for a total of ​$333.00

10x + 15y = 333

and we have the linear system

<em>8x + 13y = 282.60 </em>

<em>10x + 15y = 333 </em>

which can be written in matrix form as

\bf \left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)

The solution would be given by

\bf \left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)^{-1}\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)

We have  

\bf \left(\begin{array}{cc}8&13\\10&15\end{array}\right)^{-1}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-3/2&13/10\\1&-4/5\end{array}\right)

hence

\bf \left(\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-3/2&13/10\\1&-4/5\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}282.60\\333\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}9\\ 16.2\end{array}\right)

Now,

if a dozen hot dogs cost $9, 1 hot dog costs 9/12 = $0.75

if a dozen bratwursts cost $16.2, 1 bratwurst costs 16.2/12 = $1.35

Lcm of (x-2)(x+3) and 10(x+3)^2
Arte-miy333 [17]
Least common multiple: factor them, then see what they have in common and what is leftover and multiply those expressions:

(x - 2)(x + 3)          10(x + 3)(x + 3)
Common: (x + 3)
Leftover: (x - 2), (10), (x + 3)
Common · Leftover is: (x + 3) · (x - 2) · (10) · (x + 3) = 10(x - 2)(x + 3)²

Answer: LCM is 10(x - 2)(x + 3)²

Laryngeal cancer rates in smokers is 160.0 (per 100,000) and 25.0 (per 100,000) among nonsmokers. Among smokers, what percentage
Romashka [77]

Answer:

0.16%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement of the question;

Number of Laryngeal cancer due to smoking = 160

Population of smokers = 100,000

Hence the percentage of smokers liable to have Laryngeal cancer = 160/100000 ×100/1

=0.16%

Hence 0.16% of smokers are liable to Laryngeal cancer
