Answer:

$6.50 per bag of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

let a bag of popcorn be represented by p and a candy bar be b

28p + 40b = $282

17p + 20b = $160.50

this is an example of simultaneous equations

so you have to double the second equation to give 34p + 40b = $321

subtract the equations to give one -- >  6p = $39

divide $39 by 6 to give the value of one bag of popcorn = $6.50

Find the midpoint and distance between each pair of points, with easy explanation and work !! will give brainliest.
rewona [7]
If we have 2 coordinates say: (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Then the formula for the midpoint is:

((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

And the formula for the distance is:

Sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

So here we have (-1,-4) and (-7,4)

The midpoint is:

((-1+-7)/2,(-4+4)/2) = (-8/2,0/2) = (-4,0)

The distance is:

Sqrt((-7- -1)^2+(4- -4)^2)
= sqrt((-6^2)+(8^2))
=sqrt(36+64)
=sqrt(100)

the width of the morros in shannon's bathroom is 4/9 its length. The area of the mirror is 576 square inches. What are the dimen
fredd [130]
W=4L/9

A=LW, using W found above gives us

A=L(4L/9)

A=4L^2/9  and we were told that A=576 so

4L^2/9=576  multiply both sides by 9

4L^2=5184  divide both sides by 4

L^2=1296 take the square root of both sides

L=36, and we know that W=4L/9 so

W=4(36/9)=16

So the dimensions are: width=16in and length=36in

The radius of a large sphere is 8 times the radius of a small sphere. the surface area of the large sphere is how many times the
kondaur [170]
Large sphere's radius = R,
small sphere's radius = r, R = 8r
surface area of a sphere (SA) = 4×pi×radius^2
So what we need is the SA of the larger in terms of the smaller sphere, so if:
SA (of R) = 4×pi×R^2, then plug in "8r" for "R"...
SA = 4×pi×(8r)^2 = 4×3.14×64r^2
SA = 12.57×64r^2 = 804 r^2
Therefore the SA of the larger sphere is 804 times the SA of the smaller sphere.
I hope that makes sense!

Solve the inequality of -4p < 2/3
andrezito [222]
Just divide both sides by -4. Since you are dividing with a negative number, you will also have to flip the greater than sign.
