Answer:

The number of boxes of candy sold are:

40 small boxes and

12 large boxes of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes sold = x

Let the number of large boxes sold = y

we are given the following information:

x + y = 52 - - - - - -(1)   (Chara sold 52 boxes of candy)

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)   (Chara sold $112 worth of candy)

From the two equations above, x and y can be solved as follows:

x + y = 52   - - - - - -(1)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

putting the value if x in equation (3) to replace x in equation (2);

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)

3.5(y) + 1.75(52 - y) = 112

3.5y + 91 - 1.75y = 112

(3.5y - 1.75y) + 91 = 112

1.75y = 112 - 91 = 21

y = 21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

y = 12

Now, let us put the value of y into equation (3)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

x = 52 - 12 = 40

Therefore,

40 small boxes and 12 large boxes of candy were sold.

In a sale, normal prices are reduced by 17%. The normal price of a washing machine is reduced by £42.50
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: The original price of washing machine is $250.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline in normal prices = 17%

Amount of normal price reduced by = $42.50

Let the original price be x

According to question,

\frac{17}{100}\times x=42.50\\\\x=\frac{100}{17}\times 42.50\\\\x=\$250

Hence, The original price of washing machine is $250.

A cone has the diameter of 15 inches and is 27 inches tall what is the volume for the cone?
suter [353]

Answer:

the volume of a cone = 1589.625feet³

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the diameter of the cone = 15inches

radius = 15inches/2 = 7.5inches

height of the cone = 27 inches

volume of the cone = ?

recall that

the  formulae for finding the volume of a cone is given to be

= 1/3πr²h

the volume of a cone = πr² h/3

the volume of a cone = 3.14  × ( 7.5)² × 27/3

the volume of a cone = (3.14 x  56.25 x27)/3

the volume of a cone = 4768.875/3

the volume of a cone = 1589.625feet³
