Write the equation
popcorn, x
drinks, y
51.25 = 5x + 5y
122.25 = 15x + 8y

Multiply the 1st row by 3
15x+15y=153.75
15x+8y=122.251
Subtract the 2nd row from the 1st row
7y=31.5
Divide both sides by 7
y=31.5/7
simplify
y = 4.5

Substitute y=4.5 into any of the two equations above
Let's pick the first equation
15x+15y=153.75
15x+15(4.5)=153.75
Simplify
15x+67.5=153.75
Subtract 67.5 from both sides
15x=153.75−67.5
Simplify
15x=86.25
Divide both sides by 15
x=86.25/15
Simplify
x=5.75

Therefore,
x=5.75
y=4.5

Follow along on a piece of paper, it'll help you get it.

The members of the Student Activity Council on your campus are meeting to select three speakers for a month-long event celebrat

Komok [63]

The number of different ways that three speakers can be selected is 10 ways

Given the names of choice to be Ben, Will, Stewart, Hilary, and Kate. This means that we have a total of 5 name choices.

If the members of students activities are to select three speakers among these people, the number of ways this can be done is by using the combination rule as shown;

$nCr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

From the question, n = 5 and r = 3. On substituting

$5C3=\frac{5!}{(5-3)!3!}\\5C3=\frac{5!}{2!3!}\\5C3=\frac{5 \times 4 \times 3!}{2 \times 3!} \\5C3=\frac{20}{2}\\5C3 = 10 ways$

Hence the number of different ways that three speakers can be selected is 10 ways.

Please, share the goal of the problem. If Carrie works 40 hours per week and spends 15% of her time at the register, how much time does she NOT spend at the register?

Subtract 15% from 100%; the result is 85%. Now find 85% of 40 hours:

0.85(40 hours) = 34 hours.
