Answer:

x  =  15 rupees by kg   ( price of tea)

y  =  3 rupees by kg   ( price of sugar)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call " x " the price of kg of tea and " y " the price of kg of sugar,  in january of 1997,

then according to problem statement

2*x + 3*y  =  39    (1)

But in march prices increased  

tea by 25%  that means its price in march will be 1.25*x, and the price of sugar will be 1.20*y, finally buying the same quantities now cost 48.30 rupees, then

2* ( 1.25*x )  +  3 * ( 1.20*y) = 48.30  

2,50*x  +  3.60*y  = 48.30     (2)

Equations (1) and (2) are a two equation system, we need to solve for x and y

From equation  (1)  we have    y = ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3

Plugging that value in equation (2)

2,50*x  + 3.60* [ ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3]   =  48.30

2,50*x  + ( 140,40 - 7,20*x ) /3   = 48.30

7.50*x  + 140,40  - 7,20*x  =  144,90

0,30*x  =  4.50

x =  4.50/0.30

x =  15  rupees

and  y  =   ( 39 - 2*x ) / 3     ⇒  y  = ( 39 - 2*15 ) / 3

y  = ( 39 - 30 )/3

y  =  3 rupees

Answer: tea = 15 rupees  per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations with the information given:

<em>"Two kg of tea and 3 kg of sugar cost rupees 39 in january 1997": </em>

2 t + 3 s =39 (a)

Where:

  • t= price of 1 kg of tea
  • s = price of 1 kg of sugar

<em>"in march 1997 the price of the tea increased by 25% (1.25)and the price of the sugar increased by 20%(1.20) and the same quantity of tea and sugar cost rupees 48.30. "</em>

2(t1.25)+3(s1.2) = 48.30 (b)

  • <em>Solving for t in (b) </em>

2t =39-3s

t = (39 -3s)/2

t = 19.5-1.5s

  • <em>Replacing the value of t in (b) </em>

2 x ((19.5-1.5s)1.25)+ 3 ( 1.2s) =48.30

2x ( 24.375 -1.875s) +3.6s =48.30

48.75 -3.75s+3.6s= 48.30

48.75-48.30 = 3.75s-3.6s

0.45= 0.15s

0.45/0.15 =s

3 =s

  • <em>Replacing the value of s in (a) </em>

2 t + 3 (3) =39

2 t + 9 =39

2 t =39 -9

2 t =30

t = 30/2

t= 15

Prices in january:

tea = 15 rupees per kg

sugar= 3 rupees per kg

What is the solution to the system of linear equations graphed below?
OlgaM077 [116]

Option C: There are no solutions

Explanation:

The linear equations is graphed.

We need to determine the solution of the system of equations.

The solution of the equations can be determined by finding the point of intersection of the two equations.

From the figure, it is obvious that the two equations are parallel to each other.

Also, the parallel lines have the same slope and the parallel lines never intersect.

Hence, the system consisting of parallel lines have no solution.

Therefore, the solution to the system of linear equations graphed is no solution.

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.

Assuming that the sample mean carapace length is greater than 3.39 inches, what is the probability that the sample mean carapace
joja [24]

Answer:

The answer is "".

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

We select a sample size n from the confidence interval with the mean \muand default \sigma, then the mean take seriously given as the straight line with a z score given by the confidence interval

\mu=3.87\\\\\sigma=2.01\\\\n=110\\\\

Using formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  

The probability that perhaps the mean shells length of the sample is over 4.03 pounds is

P(X>4.03)=P(z>\frac{4.03-3.87}{\frac{2.01}{\sqrt{110}}})=P(z>0.8349)

Now, we utilize z to get the likelihood, and we use the Excel function for a more exact distribution

=\textup{NORM.S.DIST(0.8349,TRUE)}\\\\P(z

the required probability: P(z>0.8349)=1-P(z
