Solution:

(a) Cost of one of Tanya's item: x

..., but each was $1.75 less than the items that Tanya bougth:

Cost of one of Tony's item: x-1.75


Tanya bought 5 items that each cost the same amount:

Tanya paid: Number of items bought * Cost of each item

Tanya paid=5x


Tony bought 6 items:

Tony paid: Number of items bought * Cost of each item

Tony paid=6*(x-1.75)


Both paid the same amount of money:

Tanya paid = Tony paid

5x=6*(x-1.75)

Answer: Write an equation: 5x=6*(x-1.75)

(b) Solve the equation

5x=6*(x-1.75)

Elminating the parentheses on the right side of the equation applying the distributive property:

5x=6*x-6*1.75

Multiplying:

5x=6x-10.5

Solving for x: Subtracting 6x both sides of the equation:

5x-6x=6x-10.5-6x

-x=-10.5

Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:

(-1)*(-x)=(-1)*(-10.5)

x=10.5

What was the individual cost of each person's items:

Cost of one of Tanya's items: x=$10.5

Cost of one of Tony's items: x-$1.75=$10.5-$1.75=$8.75

(c) Check the solution:

Tanya paid: 5x=5($10.5)=$52.5

Tony paid: 6(x-$1.75)=6($10.5-$1.75)=6($8.75)=$52.5

Both paid the same amount of money

(d) State the solution in complete sentences:

Cost of one's Tanya's items is $10.5

Cost of one's Tony's items is $8.75

Let x represent the cost of one of Tanya's items. Since each item that Tony bought was $1.75 less than the items that Tanya bought, then x-1.75 represent the cost of one of Tony's items.

Tanya bought 5 items, each cost x, then the total amount is 5x.

Tony bought 6 items, each cost x-1.75, then the total amount is 6(x-1.75).

If both Tanya and Tony paid the same amount of money, then

(a) 5x=6(x-1.75).

Let's solve it:

(b) 5x=6x-10.5,

5x-6x=-10.5,

-x=-10.5,

x=10.5.

(c) Substitute x=10.5 into equation:

5·10.5=52.5,

6·(10.5-1.75)=6·8.75=52.5

52.5=52.5

(d) The individual cost of Tanya's items is $10.5 and the individual cost of Tony's items is $8.75.

3. i) Determine the volume of the cylinder above to the nearest cubic centimetre. (3 points)​
klemol [59]

Answer:

1480cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equation for the Volume of a Cylinder is V=Bh, where B is the area of the circle (A= πr²).

We are given all of the things we need, we just have to plug them into the equation.

First let's find B using the radius(r) which is given to be 6.4cm, so B=πr²

B=π(6.4cm)²

Plug that into a calculator to get 128.6796351cm²

Now we can plug that into the original equation, V=Bh.

V=(128.6796351cm²)h

h is also given to be 11.5cm, so lets plug that in.

V=(128.6796351cm²)(11.5cm)

You will get V=1479.815804cm³, but since we are rounding to the nearest cubic centimeter, we would round up to 1480cm³.

If you have two horse pastures, one is. 25 feet by 45 feet and the other is 40 feet by 60 feet, what is the perimeter of the two
svp [43]
One field is 25 + 45 + 25 + 45 = 140 feet
Second field is 40 + 60 + 40 + 60 = 200 feet.
Therefore, all together, the two fields are 340 feet in perimeter together
