Let the number of Sociology books =  y; the number of History books = x

⇒  x + y = 475   (2)
also since the number of history books sold was 83 less than sociology, 
then x = y - 83  (1)   

BY substituting (1) into (2)
⇒  (y - 83) + y = 475
                  2y = 475 + 83
                    y = (558 ÷ 2)
                    y = 279

⇒ x  =  279 - 83
     x  =  196

∴ Number of History books is 196 & number of Sociology books is 279.

SOS PLEASE HELP <br>write the equation for this line <br>​
Deffense [45]

If this is for slope-intercept, the equation is: y = 3x + 1

To find the slope, you would find the rise over run ( \frac{rise}{run} ). So, you would start where the graph intersect at the y-axis, which is 1. You would go up 3 times, and right 1 time. So, \frac{3}{1}, or 3, would be your slope. To find the y-intercept, you would need to find where the graph intersects at the y-axis, which is 1, so it would be your y-intercept. Plug them into the y = mx + b formula and the answer is <em>y = 3x + 1</em>.

A pharmacist is trying to stock the pharmacy with cheaper alternatives for customers. She will stop carrying the more expensive
raketka [301]

Answer : C.  Caplet form is the most expensive.

Tablet form comes in 50 mg tablets and cost $75.00 for a bottle of 100 tablets.

50 mg of 100 tablets so 50 * 100 = 5000mg

5000mg cost = $75.00

So 1mg of tablet form cost = \frac{75}{5000} = 0.015

Capsule form comes in 75 mg capsules and cost $63.75 for a bottle of 85  capsules

75 mg of 85  capsules,  so 75 * 85 = 6375mg

6375mg cost = $63.75

So 1mg of Capsule form cost = \frac{63.75}{6375} = $0.01

Caplet form comes in 100 mg caplets and cost $70.00 for 40 caplets

100 mg of 40 caplets ,  so 100 * 40 = 4000 mg

4000mg cost = $70.00

So 1mg of Caplet form cost = \frac{70}{4000} = $0.0175

Caplet form is the most expensive.
