f popcorn and 2 drinks. Skylar spends a total of $86.00 on 8 bags of popcorn and 4 drinks. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink. Using these equations, determine and state the price of a drink, to the nearest cent.

Answer:

The price of a drink is $9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the price of one bag of popcorn

y ----> the price of  one drink

we know that

Piper spends a total of $55.50 on 6 bags of popcorn and 2 drinks

so

6x+2y=55.50 ----> equation A

Skylar spends a total of $86.00 on 8 bags of popcorn and 4 drinks

so

8x+4y=86.00 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both lines

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (6.25,9)

see the attached figure

therefore

The price of a drink is $9.00

4. A typical smartphone battery (yes that includes iphones) degrades at approximately 1%
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a. f(t) = (0.99)^{t} 100%\\

b. The x - intercept represents the time at which the battery life drops to 0 %.

c. The y - intercept represents the initial battery life.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Construct an equation using f(t) and t that represents the relationship between

"f(t)" the battery capacity of a typical smartphone after "t" months and "L" the

number of months the smartphone has been in normal use.

Let the initial battery life be I.

After one month, it decreases by 1%. So, our new value, I' = initial value - decrease = I - 1%I = 99%I.

After two months, it decreases by 1% to our new value I". So, our new value, I" = initial value - decrease = I' - 1%I' = 99%I' = 99%(99%)I = (99%)²I

After three months, it decreases by 1% to our new value I'". So, our new value, I"' = initial value - decrease = I" - 1%I" = 99%I" = 99%(99%)²I = (99%)³I

We see a pattern here.

After t months, f(t)

f(t) = (0.99)^{t} 100%\\

b. What does the horizontal intercept represent in context? (The x-intercept)

The x - intercept represents the time at which the battery life drops to 0 %.

c. What does the vertical intercept represent in context? (The y-intercept)

The y - intercept represents the initial battery life.

Find each absolute value. <br><br> |6-3|
Vitek1552 [10]
When you take the absolute value of this equation, the answer should actually be 3.

You should solve the what’s inside first. If the answer is negative, then the absolute value will make it positive.

For example

Glenn rolls a 6-sided die. What is the probability that he gets a number greater than 2 or an odd number?
Marysya12 [62]
Hello!

You can write down what the possible numbers their are

The numbers greater than 2 are 3, 4, 5, and 6

The numbers that are odd are 1, 3, and 5

List all the numbers out in a row

3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 3, 5, 

Eliminate one of the numbers that repeat

3, 4, 5, 6, 1

You put the amount of answers of the total amount of outcomes

The answer is 5/6

Hope this helps!

One serving of granola provides 4% of the protein you need daily. You must get the remaining 48 grams from other sources. How ma
ankoles [38]
If you already have 4% then that means that the other 48 grams is 96%. 
So if you make a proportion with 96/100 and 48/x (x being a stand-in for the answer) you can cross multiply 48 and 100 and divide the end result by 96, which equals 50.
So that means that the answer is 50 grams of protein. Hope this helped!
