Answer:

The number of pens sold on Monday is 107 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

total pack of pen sold by the retailer in 3 days =  10 packs

total number of pens in the 10 packs = 48 x 10 = 480 pens

let the number of pens sold on Monday = x

let the number of pens sold on Sunday = y

let the number of pens sold on Tuesday = z

He sold twice as many pens on Sunday than on Monday

y = 2x ------equation (1)

He sold 55 pens fewer on Tuesday than on Sunday

y = z + 55 ------equation (2)

total number of pens sold in the three days

y + z + x = 480  ------equation (3)

from equation (1) make x the subject of the formula

x = y/2

from equation (2) make z the subject of the formula

z = y - 55

substitute the value of x, and z into equation (3)

y + y/2 + y - 55 = 480

2y + y/2 = 480 + 55

5y/2 = 535

5y = 535 x 2

5y = 1070

y = 1070 / 5

y = 214

The number of pens sold on Monday is:

x = y / 2

x = 214 / 2

x = 107 pens

Thus, the number of pens sold on Monday is 107 pens

Does the table represent a function ? If so, state the domain and range. If not, state why. (Picture)
andrezito [222]

Yes

For f(x) to represent a function each value of x from the domain must only map to one unique value in the range, called one-to-one

This is the case here as each value of x maps to one unique value in the range

domain x ∈ {- 5, - 4, 0, 3 }

range y ∈ {0, 2, 10, 16 }
