Answer:

Cost of the hand towels is $2 and cost of the bath towels is $7 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the cost of hand towels be x .

Let us assume that the cost of bath towels be y .

As given

The owner of two hotels is ordering towels.

He bought 38 hand towels and 31 bath towels for his hotel in Arcadia, spending a total of $293.

Than the equation becomes

38x + 31y = 293

As given

He also ordered 45 hand towels and 71 bath towels for his hotel in Middletown, spending $587.

Than the equation becomes

45x + 71y =587

Multiply the equation 45x + 71y =587 by 31 .

45x × 31 + 71y × 31 = 587 × 31

1395x + 2201y = 18197

Multiply 38x + 31y = 293 by 71.

71 × 38x + 71 × 31y = 293 × 71

2698x + 2201y = 20803

Thus two equations are

1395x + 2201y = 18197

2698x + 2201y = 20803

Subtracting 1395x + 2201y = 18197 form 2698x + 2201y = 20803 .

2698x - 1395x + 2201y - 2201y = 20803 - 18197

1303x = 2606

x = \frac{2606}{1303}

x =$ 2

Putting this x = 2 in the equations

1395 × 2  + 2201y = 18197

2790 + 2201y = 18197

2201y = 15407

y = \frac{15407}{2201}

y = $7

Therefore the cost of the hand towels is $2 and cost of the bath towels is $7 .

22. Use your model to determine when the volume of oil will get down to 500 gallons.
Helen [10]

Answer:

  21.  y = 75000·0.935^t

  22.  after 74.6 days

  23.  y = 27.8112·1.18832^t

  24.  18.8% per month

  25.  1748

Step-by-step explanation:

22. It is convenient to use the graphing calculator to solve this problem. The number of days is where the exponential curve has the value 500. It is about 74.55 days. (see the first attachment)

__

23. y = 27.8112·1.18832^t (see the second attachment)

__

24. The rate of change is the difference between the base of the exponential and 1, often expressed as a percentage. The time period is the units of t.

  (1.18832 -1) × 100% ≈ 18.8% . . . . per month

__

25. Evaluating the function for t=24 gives y ≈ 1748.30425259 ≈ 1748.

_____

<em>Comment on graphing calculator</em>

A graphing calculator can make very short work of problems like these. It is worthwhile to get to know how to use one well.
