The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $3375 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additi

Ksju [112]

Answer:

C = 125S + $3750

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported. C is the cost; S is the number of tons transported. The equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b. This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only. You would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750). As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:

(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.

This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125

inessss [21]

Let
x-------> the probability that a boy is chosen
B------> number of boys in the debate team
G------> number of girls in the debate team

we know that
B+G=20-----> G=20-B-----> equation 1
probability that a boy is chosen=number of boys in the debate team/total of people
so
x=B/20-------> equation 2

the probability that a girl is chosen is 2/3 the probability that a boy is chosen
probability that a girl is chosen=(2/3)*x
probability that a girl is chosen=G/20
(2/3)*x=G/20-----> equation 3
substitute equation 1 in equation 3
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20----> equation 4

resolve the equations system
x=B/20
(2/3)*x=[20-B]/20

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=0.6
B=12
G=20-12-----> G=8

number of boys in the debate team is 12
number of girls in the debate team is 8
the probability that a boy is chosen is 0.6 ----> 60%
the probability that a girl is chosen is 0.6*(2/3)----> 0.4---> 40%

the answer is
number of girls in the debate team is 8
