Answer:
This is not possible because the selling of number of AA batteries cannot be negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the number of AAA batteries sells be x .
Let us assume that the number of AA batteries sells be y.
As given
Target sells AAA batteries for $1.10 and AA batteries for $0.50. They sold 350 total batteries earning a total of $560.
Equations becomes
x + y = 350
1.10x + 0.50y = 560
Simplify the above equation

110x + 50y = 56000
Two equations becomes
x + y = 350
110x + 50y = 56000
Multiply x + y = 350 by 50 and subtracted from 110x + 50y = 56000 .
110x - 50x + 50y - 50y = 56000 - 17500
60x = 38500

x = 641 .6 (Approx)
Put this value in the equation x + y = 350 .
641.6 + y = 350
y = 350 - 641.6
y = -291.6
This is not possible because the selling of number of AA batteries cannot be negative.
I'd start by writing an equation for each of the right triangles. (Pythagorean theorem)
y² + 9² = z²
x² + z² = (4+9)²
4² + y² = x²
we want to find z so combine the equations by substituting the other variables x,y out.
substitute y² for (x² - 4²) in 1st equation.
(x² - 4²) + 9² = z²
now by rearranging the 2nd equation we can substitute x² for (13² - z²)
(13² - z²) - 4² + 9² = z²
169 - z² - 16 + 81 = z²
234 - z² = z²
234 = 2z²
234/2 = z²
117 = z²
√(117) = z
√(9*13) = z
3√(13) = z
13 goes in the box
The answer would be A. Tammy's initial pay was $10
Hope this helps you out!
Have a wonderful day!
