Answer:
The number of footballs, basketballs and volleyballs were sold are 75, 36 and 15 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
A football costs $35, a basketball costs $25 and a volleyball costs $15.
Let F represents the football, B represents the basketball and V represents the volleyball.
On a given day, the store sold 5 times as many footballs as volleyballs.
......(1)
They brought in a total of $3750 that day,
......(2)
The money made from basketballs alone was 4 times the money.
......(3)
By equation 1, 2 and 3.
Substitute the value of V in equation 1 and 3.
Hence, the number of footballs, basketballs and volleyballs were sold are 75, 36 and 15 respectively.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Red marbles = 3,
Green marbles = 10,
So, the total marbles = 3 + 10 = 13,
Since, here replacement is not allowed,
Thus, the probability of getting a green marble and a red marble
= first red and second green + first green second red
Note : The probability of getting a green marble first and a red marble second
=
The vendor has to sell 88 gingerbread houses to earn a profit of $665.60 and there is no chance that the vendor will earn $1500.
Given an equation showing profits of A Christmas vendor as
P=-0.1+30g-1200.
We have to find the number of gingerbread houses that the vendor needs to sell in order to earn profit of $665.60 and $1500.
To find the number of gingerbread houses we have to put P=665.60 in the equation given which shows the profit earned by vendor.
665.60=-0.1+30g-1200
0.1-30g+1200+665.60=0
0.1-30g+1865.60=0
Divide the above equation by 0.1.
-300g+18656=0
Solving for g we get,
g=[300±]/2*1
g=[300±
g=[300±]/2
g=(300±124)/2
g=(300+124)/2 , g=(300-124)/2
g=424/2, g=176/2
g=212,88
Because 212 is much greater than 88 so vendor prefers to choose selling of 88 gingerbread houses.
Put the value of P=1500 in equation P=-0.1+30g-1200.
-0.1+30g-1200=1500
0.1-30g+1500+1200=0
0.1-30g+2700=0
Dividing equation by 0.1.
-300g+27000=0
Solving the equation for finding value of g.
g=[300±]/2*1
=[300±
=[300±]/2
Because comes out with an imaginary number so it cannot be solved for the number of gingerbread houses.
Hence the vendor has to sell 88 gingerbread houses to earn a profit of $665.60 and there is no chance that the vendor will earn $1500.
