Let x be the retail price

A 15% discount means a discounted price of

x - 0.15 x = 0.85 x

6.25% applied to that means paying

1.0625 (0.85 x)

Answer: C

Determine the number of solutions the system of 1/3y-5=2x and y=3(2x+5)
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. (4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y = 3

x -3y = 1

Change the equation to isolate a variable so you can substitute it in the other one.

x = 1+3y so

2(1+3y) -5y = 3

2 + 6y -5y =3

2 + y = 3

y=1

Back to the easy equation we isolated

x = 1+3(1)

x= 4

(4,1) is a point where x=4 and y=1

The ice cream shop sells sundaes for $2 each and banana splits for $3 each. One day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana sp
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$82 sundaes

$74 banana split

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

Cost of sundaes =$2 each

Cost of banana split =$3 each

Let the number of sundaes bought be x

And the number of banana split bought be y

The total is x+y

The shop sold 8 more Sundaes than the Banana split

x=8+y—-------1

Total amount made = $156

Therefore the system of equation for the situation is

x=8+y----—----------1

2x+3y=156---------2

But x=8+y

8+y+y=156

8+2y=156

2y=156-8

2y=148

Divide both sides by 2

y=148/2

y=74

On That day they sold $74 banana split

And also they sold x=8+74=$82 sundaes

In 2003 a town’s population was 1431. By 2007 the population had grown to 2134. Assume the population is changing linearly.How m
sergiy2304 [10]

We will have the following:

First, we will have that the population change by:

\Delta P=2134-1431\Rightarrow\Delta P=703

So, the population changed by 703 people.

It took the follwoing number of years to change from 1431 to 2134:

\Delta y=2007-2003\Rightarrow\Delta y=4

So, it took 4 years to changes from 1431 to 2134.

m=\frac{2134-1431}{2007-2003}\Rightarrow m=175.75

The average population growth per year is of 175.75 people per year.

The population in 2000 would have been:

P_{2000}=\frac{2000\cdot1431}{2003}\Rightarrow P_{2000}=1428.856715\ldots

\Rightarrow P_{2000}\approx1429

So, the population in 2000 would have been approximately 1429 people.

We will have that the equation for the population would be:

P=(\frac{2134-1431}{2007-2003})t+1429\Rightarrow P=\frac{703}{4}t+1429

So, the equation would be:

P=175.75t+1429

Now, we predict the number of people of the town in 2014:

P_{2014}=175.75(14)+1429\Rightarrow P_{2014}=3889.5

\Rightarrow P_{2014}\approx3890

So, there will be approximately 3890 people of the town in 2014.

HELP MEEEEE<br> In complete sentences, describe the characteristics of this scatterplot.
Umnica [9.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Scatter plots are dots scattered all over the graph.  I think that this is the easiest graph because all you need to do is put a dot where you want it.

A scatter plot doesn't need any lines, all it needs is dots.

The director of the library calculates that 29% of the library's collection is checked out. If the director is right, what is th
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The probability that the proportion of books checked out in a sample of 412 books would differ from the population proportion by less than 4% is P=0.9255.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population's proportion is \pi=0.29

If we take a sample of 412 books (n=412), we have a standard deviation of the sampling distribution of:

\sigma_M=\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.29*0.71}{412}}=\sqrt{0.0005} =0.0224

We have to calculate the probabilty that the sample proportion will be between 0.25 and 0.33.

z_1=(0.25-0.29)/0.0224=-0.04/0.0224=-1.7857\\\\z_2=1.7857\\\\\\P(0.25
