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

The cost of safely disposing/A of the toxic chemicals is approximately/B
melomori [17]

The cost of safely disposing of the toxic chemicals is approximately five times what the company paid to purchase it.(Option D)

<h3>What is sentence correction?</h3>

Sentence correction or sentence improvement is a type of grammatical practice where a sentence is given with a word or a phrase that requires grammatical changes or improvement.

Now,

  • Here, we are talking about "toxic chemicals", that is "plural" but in the Part D of the sentence, "it" refers to the singular chemical.

Hence, the correction needs to be made at Option D; the correction would be: "paid to purchase them."

Find the interquartile range (IQR) of the data in the dot plot below. chocolate chips 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10
Brums [2.3K]

*The dot plot is shown in the attachment below

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Interquartile range is the difference between the upper median (Q3) and the lower median (Q1).

First, let's write out each value given in the data. Each dot represents a data point.

We have:

2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

=>Find the median:

Our median is the middle value. The middle value is the 6th value = 4

==>Upper median Q3) = the middle value of the set of data we have from the median to our far right.

2, 3, 3, 4, 4, |4,| 4, 5, [5], 6, 7

Our upper median = 5

==>Lower median(Q1) = the middle value of the data set we have from our median to our far left.

2, 3, [3], 4, 4, |4,| 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

Lower median = 3

==>Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1 = 5-3 = 2
