Jenny's bakery sells carrot muffins at 2 dollars each. The electricity to run the over is over 120 dollars per day and the cost

Answer:

200 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price of each muffin = $2

The cost price of each muffin = $1.40

The price of electricity = $120

If the number of muffins that Jenny sells in a day is x, then, Jenny's total cost in a day is:

120 + (1.4 * x) = 120 + 1.4x

and the total sales earnings in a day for x muffins will be:

2 * x = 2x

To break even, the total costs in a day must equal to the total earnings. That is;

2x =  120 + 1.4x

Solving this:

2x - 1.4x = 120\\\\\\0.6x = 120\\\\\\x = 120/0.6\\\\\\x = 200

She must sell 200 muffins in a day to break even.

Use the net to compute the surface area of the three-dimensional figure.
Grace [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  382 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The central four rectangles down the middle of the net are 9 units wide, and alternate between 8 and 7 units high. Then the area of those four rectangles is ...

  9(8+7+8+7) = 270 . . . square units

The rectangles making up the two left and right "wings" of the net are 8 units high and 7 units wide, so have a total area of ...

  2×(8)(7) = 112 . . . square units

Then the area of the figure computed from the net is ...

  270 +112 = 382 . . . square units

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can reject the first two answer choices immediately, because they are odd. Each face will have an area that is the product of integers, so will be an integer. There are two faces of each size, so <em>the total area of this figure must be an even number</em>.

You may recognize that the dimensions are 8, 8+1, 8-1. Then the area is roughly that of a cube with dimensions of 8: 6×8² = 384. If you use these values (8, 8+1, 8-1) in the area formula, you find the area is actually 384-2 = 382. That area formula is A = 2(LW +H(L+W)).

How to solve using Substitution or Elimination?<br> y=3x-1<br><br> y=2x+2
n200080 [17]

By elimination:

y = 3x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the second equation from the first

0 = x - 1

y = 2x + 2

Subtract the first equation from the second

0 = x - 1

y = x + 3

Subtract the first equation from the second again

0 = x - 1

y =      4

Subtract x from both sides of the first equation

- x =  - 1

y =      4

Divide the first equation by (-1)    

x =  1

y =  4

<h3>So, the solution is  x = 1  and  y = 4   {or: (1, 4)}</h3>

What is the probability of flipping a coin 6 times and getting all heads
abruzzese [7]
The probability of getting all heads is 1 / 2^6 = 1/64 as there is only 1 event where this happens in a possible 2^6 = 64 events. It is the same as the probability of getting all tails. The probability of getting at least 1 head is 1 - p(all tails) = 63/64.
