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

Chareese reflects figure RSUT over the y-axis and then rotates the reflected figure 180 about the origin, resulting in figure A.
rewona [7]
Accurate. A reflection will change the direction the vertices trace around the figure. A rotation preserves the change.<span>

The function shown below was created to track the different intervals of speed that an automobile travels over a period of 28 se
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1. The car is slowing down at a rate of 2.5mph/s

2. The greatest acceleration is 10 mph/s.

3. In the interval 4s to 16s the speed remains constant and has magnitude 25 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The deceleration of the car is from 16 seconds to 24 seconds is the slope m of the graph from 16 to 24:

m=\dfrac{\Delta speed }{\Delta time } = \dfrac{5-25}{24-16} =-2.5mph/s

the negative sign indicates that it is deceleration.

2. The automobile experiences the greatest change in speed when the slope is greatest because that is when acceleration/deceleration is greatest.

From the graph we see that the greatest slope of the graph is between 28 and 24 seconds. The acceleration the interval is the slope m:

m= \dfrac{45-5}{28-24}= 10mph/s

3. The automobile experiences no acceleration in the interval 4 s to 16 s—that's the graph is flat.

The speed of the automobile in that interval, as we see from the graph, is 25 mph.
