Answer:

x + y = 60 and 1.55x + 1.4y = 88.20 and the solution is x = 32 and y = 28.

Mr. Sanchez’s class earned more money by $10.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Sanchez’s class sold fruit pies for $1.55 each and Mr. Kelly’s class sold bottles of fruit juice for $1.40 each.

Let the number of sold fruit pies is x and bottles of fruit juice is y.

So, from the given condition we can write

x + y = 60 ........ (1)

⇒ 1.4x + 1.4y = 84 ....... (2) and

1.55x + 1.4y = 88.20 ........ (3)

Now, solving equations (2) and (3) we get (1.55 - 1.4)y = (88.2 - 84)

⇒ y = 28

And from equation (1) we get x = 60 - 28 = 32.

Therefore, Mr. Sanchez’s class earned more money. (Answer)

Now, this class have earned $(32 × 1.55 - 28 × 1.4) = $10.4 more. (Answer)

Answer:

-The class that earned more money was Mr. Kelly’s class.

-Mr. Kelly’s class earned $1.4 more.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given you can write the following equations:

x+y= 60 (1)

1.55x+1.40y= 88.20 (2)

x is the number of fruit pies and y is the number of fruit juice.

You can solve for x in equation (1):

x=60-y (3)

Now, you replace (3) in (2):

1.55(60-y)+1.40y=88.20

93-1.55y+1.40y=88.20

-0.15y=-4.8

y=-4.8/-0.15= 32

Then, you have to replace the value of y in (3):

x= 60-32

x= 28

You have to find the amount of money each class earned:

Mr. Sanchez’s class: 1.55*28= $43.4

Mr. Kelly’s class: 1.40*32= $44.8

$44.8-$43.4= $1.4

Line AB has endpoints A(3,4) and B(-2,8). What is AB to the nearest tenth
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance you have to do this formula.

\sqrt{(x2 -x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2}}  \\\sqrt{(-2 -3)^{2} + (8-4)^{2}\\} \\\sqrt{(-5)^{2} + (4)^{2}} \\\sqrt{25 + 16} \\\sqrt{41} \\ \\\sqrt{41} = 6.40312\\6.4

6.4 is the answer rounded to the nearest tenth.

Hope this helps!!

Elden [556K]

Answer:

given - a rectangle ABCD

AB = 40

AC. = 90

BC = ?

in triangle ABC

using Pythagoras theorem

(AB) ² + (BC) ² = (AC) ²

(40)² + (BC) ² = (90)²

(BC) ² = (90)²- (40)²

(BC) ² = 8100 - 1600

(BC) ² = 6500

BC =
