Answer:

c+p = 53

2.5c+1.5p = 105.5

p = 27

c= 26

Mrs. Johnson  earned 65

Mr Smith  earned 40.5

Mrs Johnson earned  24.50 more

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = cookies sold

p = popcorn sold

The number of items sold is 53

c+p = 53

The total cost of the items sold is 105.50  

The number of cookies sold times 2.50 plus the number of popcorn sold times 1.50 = 105.50

2.5c+1.5p = 105.5

System of equations:

c+p = 53

2.5c+1.5p = 105.5

Multiply the second equation by 10 to clear the decimals

10 *(2.5c+1.5p) = 10*105.5

25c+15p = 1055

Divide by 5

25c/5 +15p/5 = 1055/5

5c+3p =211

Multiply equation 1 by -5

-5(c+p)=-5*53

-5c-5p=-265

Add the equations

5c+3p =211

-5c-5p=-265

---------------------

-2p = -54

Divide by -2

-2p/-2 = -54/-2

p = 27

Now we need to find c

c+p = 53

c+27 = 53

Subtract 27 from each side

c+27-27 = 53-27

c= 26

Mrs. Johnson  earned the number of cookies times 2.5

c* 2.5

26*2.5 =65

Mr Smith  earned the number of popcorn times 1.5

p*1.5

27*1.5

40.5

Mrs Johnson earned 65-40.5 = 24.50 more

  818 I 2
  409 I 409    so bc. 409 is a prime number has factors of 409 and 1 
      1 I

so the expanded form of 3272 will be 2^3 *409

Find the exact value of cot 7pi/4 & sec13pi/6 including quadrant location
Gennadij [26K]
First we will convert those radian angles to degrees, since my mind works better with degrees.  Let's work one at a time.  First, \frac{7 \pi }{4} * \frac{180}{ \pi }=315.  If we start at the positive x-axis and measure out 315 we end up in the 4th quadrant with a reference angle of 45 with the positive x-axis.  The side across from the reference angle is -1, the side adjacent to the angle is 1, and the hypotenuse is sqrt2.  The cotangent of this angle, then is 1/-1 which is -1.  As for the second one, converting radians to degrees gives us that \frac{13 \pi }{6} * \frac{180}{ \pi } =390.  Sweeping out that angle has us going around the origin more than once and ending up in the first quadrant with a reference angle of 30° with the positive x-axis.  The side across from the angle is 1, the side adjacent to the angle is √3, and the hypotenuse is 2.  Therefore, the secant  of that angle is 2/√3.
