For this problem you have yo set up two equations.

White shirts = w Yellow shirts = y

1st: w + y = 21
2nd: 9.95w + 11.50y = 235.30

Now we're going to do system of equations using substitution.

If w + y = 21, then y = 21 - w
If y = 21 - w, then you can substitute this in the second equation for y.

9.95w + 11.50(21 - w) = 235.30
9.95w + 241.5 - 11.50w = 235.30
-1.55w + 241.5 = 235.30
-1.55w = -6.2
w = 4, so 4 whites shirt were sold.

Now I'm finding out how many yellow shirts were sold using one of the two equations at the top.

w + y = 21
4 + y = 21
y = 17

So 17 yellow shirts were sold and 4 white shirts were sold.

A biologist studying the relationship between tilapia and catfish in a pond finds that the ratio of tilapia to catfish is 6:20.
Neko [114]

Answer: 9 tilapia

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of 6:20 for tilapia to catfish means that for every six tilapia, there are 20 catfish in the pond.

If there are 30 catfish, use direct proportion to find out the number of tilapia:

6     :      20

x     :       30

Cross multiply:

20x = 180

x = 180 / 20

x = 9 tilapia

The simplified expression of \sqrt{\frac{162x^9}{2x^{27}}} is \frac{9}{x^9}

<h3>How to simplify the expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

\sqrt{\frac{162x^9}{2x^{27}}}

Divide 162 and 2 by 2

\sqrt{\frac{81x^9}{x^{27}}}

Take the square root of 81

9\sqrt{\frac{x^9}{x^{27}}}

Apply the quotient rule of indices

9\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^{27-9}}}

Evaluate the difference

9\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^{18}}}

Take the square root of x^18

\frac{9}{x^9}

Hence, the simplified expression of \sqrt{\frac{162x^9}{2x^{27}}} is \frac{9}{x^9}

Francesca is painting a picture of the purple flowers in her garden. She mixes paint to make the perfect color for each type of
aniked [119]

Find total ounces mixed for each flower:

Daisies = 2+5 = 7 ounces

Tulips = 3 +6 = 9 ounces

Now find the ratio of purple to white for each one:

Daisies = 5/7 = 0.714

Tulips = 6/9 = 0.666

Daisies have more purple so would be the darker ones.
