Taylor purchased three types of items (bags of candy, picture frames, and some packs of stickers) from a store. The bags of cand

y are $1, the picture frames are $2, and the packs of stickers are $3. Taylor spent a total of $16 on 9 items, and purchased three times as many bags of candy as she did packs of stickers. How many of each item did she purchase?
If x = the number of bags of candy, y = the number of picture frames, and z = the number of packs of stickers, which equation is not needed to model this situation?
A) x = 3z
B) z = 3x
C) z = x3
D) x + y + z = 9

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an expression and equation, define the variables.

Taylor purchased three types of items:

x = number of bags of candy

y = number of picture frames

z = number of stickers.

We know she bought 9 items.

So x+y+z = 9.

Answer:

1) 3 bags of candy, 5 picture frames and 1 pack of stickers

2) Both option B and C should be eliminated

Step-by-step explanation:

Now according to the data given, total number of items bought is

x + y + z = 9 . . . (A)

Since, total cost is $16, and we know the unit cost of each item

so for x, total cost is number of items multiply by unit price

Total cost for x = (1) x (x)

for y, total cost is number of items multiply by unit price

Total cost for y = (2) x (y)

for z, total cost is number of items multiply by unit price

Total cost for z = (3) x (x)

So equation for total cost is

x + 2y + 3z = 16  . . .(B)

As we know by the data given that bags of candy are three times as compared to stickers

So, x = 3z

putting value of x in equation (A)

3z + y + z = 9

4z + y = 9 or y = 9 - 4z

Putting value of x and y in terms of z in equation B, we get

3z + 2(9 - 4z) + 3z = 16

6z + 18 - 8z = 16

-2z = -2

z = 1

Now x = 3z, so x = 3

and also y = 9 - 4z, so y = 5

so Taylor purchased

3 bags of candy, 5 picture frames and 1 pack of stickers

Now for the equations given below

A is valid because question tells that Taylor bough 3 bags of candy as compared to one pack of stickers and since total number of items purchased is equal to 9, so D is also right.

It might be possible that in options B and C it is typo error, but both donot fulfill the situation given in the question.

Anita uses 1 sheet of paper to make a calendar showing each month of the year. Draw Anita calendar. Show how she can divide her
hram777 [196]
There are multiple ways in which Anita can divide the sheet of paper for her calendar. First she can have it halved first then, divided by 6 or she can have it divided by 4 and divided each quarter by 3. Either way, each month would take up 1/12 of the total area of the paper.

a contractor is building a new subdivision on the outside of a city. he has started work on the first street and is planning for
monitta

The equation of the location of the second street in standard form is

x + y = -6

Equation of the line:

The equation of the line represents the algebraic form of representing the set of points, which together form a line in a coordinate system.

The equation of the line can be formed with the help of the slope of the line and a point on the line.

The general form of the equation of a line with a slope m and passing through the point (x₁,y₁) is given as:

y = mx + b.

Where

m represents the slope of the line.

Given,

Point = ( -5 , -1)

Here we need to find the equation of the location.

For that, first we have to find the slope of the line,

Having two points in the format (x,y), the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

The equation of the street is parallel to the equation of the line in the graph, thus they have the same slope.

So, in street 1 the equation is

=> y =-x +1

And street 2 the equation is  

=> y =-x +b,  

solve for b by plugging in (-5,-1)

=> -1 =-(-5) +b

=> b= -1-5 = -6

=> b = -6

Now apply the value of b on the equation,

Then

=> y = -x -6

=> y + x = -6

So, the equation of the location is x + y = -6.

1. At the gym on Monday, Larry is told to up his weight on the bench-press by 15% from last week. Last week he was bench-pressin
QveST [7]

Answer:

300 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Larry bench pressed 200 lbs last week, and that he is supposed to increase by 15%. We know that any number times one is that same numbers. That means a number that is increaseing has to be greater than 1. So, we have to convert 15% into a decimal. That is 0.15. That plus one is 1.15. Now we just have to multiply 1.15 with 200. We get 300.
