15 students preordered the year book and 9 students paid full price.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Cost of pre-ordered year book = \$38 each

Cost of full price of year book = \$45 each

Number of students in Mr. Hillman's class purchased yearbooks = 24

Total price spent by 24 students to purchase year book = \$975

Need to determine number of students pre-ordered and number of students paid full price.

Let assume number of student pre-ordered year book = x

As out of 24, x students pre-ordered the yearbook , so remaining are the ones who paid full price

So number of students paid full price = 24-x

Money spent by students who pre-ordered the book = number of student pre-ordered year book multiplied by Cost of 1 pre-ordered year book = x\times38 = 38x

Money spent by students who paid full price = number of students paid full price x Cost of 1 full price year book = (24-x)\times 45 = 1080-45x

Total price spent by 24 students to purchase year book = Money spent by students who pre-ordered the book + Money spent by students who paid full price

\Rightarrow 975=38 x+1080-45 x

On solving above expression for x, we get

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow 975-1080=38 x-45 x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow-105=-7 x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \frac{-105}{-7}=x} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x=15}\end{array}

Number of student pre-ordered year book = x=15

Number of students paid full price = 24-x = 24-15 = 9

Hence 15 students pre-ordered the year book and 9 students paid full price.

Volume of the cylinder with diameter of 8mm and height of 8mm
alexdok [17]

Answer:

V = 402.12385mm

Step-by-step explanation:

When the diameter is 8mm, the radius is 4mm.

V = (π(4^2))8

V = (16π)8

V = (50.2654)8

V = 402.12385

V ≈ 402, 402.1, 402.12, 402.124

What is the answer for |x|-7=8 <br> A) x=1<br> B) x= 15<br> C)x= -1 or 1<br> D) x= -15 or 15
borishaifa [10]
The answer is D. "x=-15 or 15."

You can solve this by adding seven on both sides.
|x|-7=8
   +7 +7
------------
|x|=15

Therefore, x is either equal to 15 or -15.

What is the function of this graph?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

x=y^2-2

Step-by-step explanation:

This graph, is a parabola that opens to the right.

To answer this question, we just use the vertex form of a sideways parabola- x=a(y-k)^2+h.

In this case, the vertex is (-2, 0), and our value of a is 1, since it opens to the right.

This gives us: x=1(y-0)^2+(-2)

Which simplifies to: x=y^2-2.

Also, the answer to the previous two questions are wrong.

The D value (Domain) is actually [2, ∞)

The R value (Range) is actually "All real numbers" (-∞, ∞)

Let me know if this helps!
