an in December, d. The two months had a combined income of 3.15 thousand dollars. Which system of equations could be used to determine the amount of profit for each month, in thousands of dollars?
A)n+d = 3.15
n+0.04=d

B) n-3.15=d
d+0.04=n

C) d-3.15=n
n+0.04=n

D)n+d=3.15
d=0.04=n

N and d are both numbers of thousands of dollars.
Thus, if n = 1, that means $1000.

Here n = d + 0.4.
Note that in C, n+0.04=n is completely wrong.
Similarly, in D, d = 0.04 = n is completely wrong.
The "combined profit amount" for Nov. and Dec. is n + d = 3.15.

Only A matches this info. Your answer is A.

Black Diamond Ski Resort charges $50 for ski rental and $15 an hour to ski. Bunny Hill Ski Resort charges $75 for ski rental and

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The cost of 5 hours of skiing would be the same ($125) after 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Black Diamond: ChargeBD(h) = $50 + ($15/hr)h, where h is the number of hours spent skiing.

Bunny Hill: ChargeBH(h) = $75 + ($10/hr)h

We equate these two formulas to determine when the cost of using the ski slopes is the same:

ChargeBD(h) = $50 + ($15/hr)h = ChargeBH(h) = $75 + ($10/hr)h

We must now solve for h, the number of hours spent skiing:

50 + 15h = 75 + 10h

Grouping like terms, we obtain:

5h = 25, and so h = 5 hours.

The cost of 5 hours of skiing would be the same ($125) after 5 hours.

A probability model includes P(red) = 27 2 7 and P(blue) = 314 3 14 . Which of the following probabilities could complete the mo

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

$(b)\ P(Green) = \frac{3}{8} ; P(Yellow) = \frac{1}{8}$

$(c)\ P(Green) = \frac{1}{4} ; P(Yellow) = \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(Red) = \frac{2}{7}$

$P(Blue) = \frac{3}{14}$

Required

Which completes the model

Let the remaining probability be x.

Such that:

$P(Red) + P(Blue) + x = 1$

Make x the subject

$x = 1 - P(Red) - P(Blue)$

So, we have:

$x = 1 - \frac{2}{7} - \frac{3}{14}$

Solve

$x = \frac{14 - 4 - 3}{14}$

$x = \frac{7}{14}$

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

This mean that the remaining model must add up to 1/2

$(a)\ P(Green) = \frac{2}{7} ; P(Yellow) = \frac{2}{7}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{2}{7} + \frac{2}{7}$

Take LCM

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{2+2}{7}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{4}{7}$

This is false because: $\frac{4}{7} \ne \frac{1}{2}$

$(b)\ P(Green) = \frac{3}{8} ; P(Yellow) = \frac{1}{8}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{8}$

Take LCM

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{3+1}{8}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{4}{8}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{1}{2}$

This is true

$(c)\ P(Green) = \frac{1}{4} ; P(Yellow) = \frac{1}{4}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4}$

Take LCM

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{1+1}{4}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{2}{4}$

$P(Green) + P(Yellow)= \frac{1}{2}$

This is true

Other options are also false
