Let j = cost of one jumbo popcorn, and c = cost of one chocolate chip cookie.

Then, based upon the given info, 1j + 2c = $5.

Also, 3j + 5c = $14.50

Let's solve this system of equations using addition/subtraction:

Mult. the first equation by -3, to obtain   -3j - 6c = -$15

Now add this result to the 2nd equation:   

-3j - 6c = -$15
3j + 5c = $14.50
----------------------
     -c = -$0.50, or c = $0.50.       Since   3j + 5c = $14.50, subst. $0.50 for c 
lets us find j:

3j + 5($0.50) = $14.50, so 3j = $12.00.  Thus, j = $4.00.


Jumbo popcorn is $4/bag, and choc. chip cookies $0.50 each.

Cerebral $500 for four years at 3% interest compounded annually use the formula to calculate the total amount she will have to p
Black_prince [1.1K]
Since we're doing compound interest for four years it will be simpler than daily.
In case you didn't know the formula, here it is: A = P (1 +r/n)^(nt)
now lets substitute.
A = 500 (1 + 0.03)^4
A = 500 (1.03)^4
A = 500 (1.12550881)
A = 562.754405
Since that decimal is too big for cash, let's round it. Notice that the number after 5 is lower than 5. Thus the first two numbers stay the same and the final answer will be..
A = 562.75

Graph the function f(x)=3/2x−4. Use the line tool and select two points to graph.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Two points on the graph would be (2,-1) and (4,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

You can choose two random x variables such as how i selected 2 and 4. if you change the variable x to those values you can solve for y or in this case f(x).

EX:

3/2*2-4

6/2-4

3-4

f(x)= -1

Weiming, Joyce and Siti divide cookies to sell in a ratio of 5: 12: 9. After Weiming sold 28 cookies, the ratio becomes 1: 8: 6.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

216 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Let the total cookies in the first place be x cookies.

Their ratio = 5:12:9

Total  = 5+12+9 = 26.

Weiming share = (5/26)x = 5x/26

If weiming sold 28 cookies

⇒ (5x/26)-28

⇒ (5x-728)/28

Hence Weiming new share = (5x-728)/28 cookies

The new ratio is 1:8:6

The total cookies becomes = x-28

Therefore,

(1/15)(x-28) = (5x-728)/28

(x-28)/15 = (5x-728)/28

Crossmultiply

28(x-28) = 15(5x-728)

28x-784 = 75x-10920

Collect like terms

28x-75x = -10920+784

-47x = -10136

x = -10136/-47

x = 215.7

x ≈ 216 cookies
