Step-by-step explanation:

Eugene and Jenny are selling cookie dough for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy packages

of chocolate chip cookie dough and packages of gingerbread cookie dough. Eugene sold i

package of chocolate chip cookie dough and 10 packages of gingerbread cookie dough for a total

of $174. Jenny sold 4 packages of chocolate chip cookie dough and 2 packages of gingerbread

cookie dough for a total of $50. Find the cost each of one package of chocolate chip cookie

dough and one package of gingerbread cookie dough.

The percent of concentration of a certain drug in the bloodstream x hours after the drug is administered is given by K(x) 5x/x^2

Olegator [25]

Given :

The percent of concentration of a certain drug in the bloodstream x hours after the drug is administered is given by $K(x) = \dfrac{5x}{x^2+9}$ .

To Find :

Find the time at which the concentration is a maximum. b. Find the maximum concentration.

Solution :

For maximum value of x, K'(x) = 0.

$K'(x) = \dfrac{5(x^2+9)- 5x(2x)}{(x^2+9)^2}=0\\\\5x^2+45-10x^2=0\\\\5x^2 = 45\\\\x = \pm 3$

Since, time cannot be negative, so ignoring x = -3 .

Putting value of x = 3, we get, K(3) = 15/( 9 + 9) = 5/6

Therefore, maximum value drug in bloodstream is 5/6 at time x = 3 units.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A jar contains n nickels and d dimes. There is a total of 253 coins in the jar. The value of the coins is $15.95. How many nicke

defon

There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total coins = 253

Value of coins = $15.95 = 15.95*100 = 1595 cents

Value of each nickel = 5 cents

Value of each dime = 10 cents

According to given statement;

x+y=253 Eqn 1

5x+10y=1595 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5

$5(x+y=253)\\5x+5y=1265\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(5x+10y)-(5x+5y)=1595-1265\\5x+10y-5x-5y=330\\5y=330$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{330}{5}\\y=66$

Putting y=66 in Eqn 1

$x+66=253\\x=253-66\\x=187$

There are 187 nickels and 66 dimes in the jar.

How do you Divide 88 by1/4+20=?

Artyom0805 [142]

88 divided by 1/4 can be placed like this: 88/1 divided by 1/4, which should lead to an answer of 22/1 or 22. Then you add 20, so 22 plus 20 would equal 42. 42 is the correct answer.

A butcher is mixing ground turkey breast that is 98% lean and beef that is 90% lean to make a blend that is 92.4% lean. Determin

Paul [167]

See brainly.com/question/8613376 for one way to work mixture problems.

The proportion of beef will be
.. (98 -92.4)/(98 -90) = 5.6/8 = 0.7

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.

_____
1. I would prefer to use "t" and "b" as variables, rather than x and y. That way I can more easilly keep straight that they represent pounds of turkey and pounds of beef, respectively.

2. t + b = 100 . . . . . we want 100 pounds of mix

3. 98%*t +90%*b = 92.4%*100 . . . . . total pounds of lean meat

4. Using subsitution for t, we have
.. 98%*(100 -b) +90%*b = 92.4%*100
.. b*(98 -90) -98*100 = -92.4*100 . . . . . . multiply by -100, collect b terms
.. b = (98 -92.4)*100/(98 -90) . . . . . . . . . add 98*100 and divide by b coefficient
note that this expression is exactly the one we used to write down the answer above.
.. b = 5.6*100/8 = 70 . . . . . . . y, if you like
.. t = 100 -b = 30 . . . . . . . . . . x, if you like

70 pounds of beef and 30 pounds of turkey are needed.
