Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.

Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4

5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133

So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.

-15x-9y=-165.

11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88
________________
9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.

Two sections of a class took the same quiz. Section A had 15 students who had a mean score of 80, and Section B had 20 students
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

85.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two sections of a class took the same quiz. Section A had 15 students who had a mean score of 80, and Section B had 20 students who had a mean score of 90.

Section A total score = 15*80=1200

Section B total score 20*90 = 1800

Overall total score=3000

Overall total students = 15+20 =35

Hence overall mean = \frac{3000}{35} \\=85.7143

rounding off to one decimal place

overall mean = 85.7

Sin (x) = 12/13 this is because sine is opposite divided by hypotenuse.
cos (x) = 5/13 this is because cosine is adjacent divided by hypotenuse.
tan (x) = 12/5 this is because tangent is opposite divided by adjacent.
