Answer:

Each shirt cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to interpret this question and turn each to an equation, letting shirts represent the letter s and ties represent the letter t.

6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50 would be interpreted to 6s+3t=79.5 ,and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41 would be interpreted to 3s+2t=41

Hence we have two equations, and we solve them simultaneously.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We can either use the substitution method or the elimination method but for the sake of this question, we use the Elimination method.

6s+3t=79.5 (Equation 1)

3s+2t=41 (Equation 2)

We multiply equation 1 by 2 and we multiply equation 2 by 3, I'm prefer to eliminate the

2(6s+3t=79.5)

12s+6t=159 Equation 3

3(3s+2t=41)

9s+6t=123 Equation 4

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3.

12s+6t=159

9s+6t=123

12s-9s=3s

6t-6t=0

159-123=36

We therefore have

3s=36

Divide both sides by 3

s=36/3

s=12

One shirt cost $12

Can you help me, please ……..

Answer: The correct answer is 44.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the area of the rectangle first, and then add it with the area of the Circle to find the total area of the whole shape.

We know that the area of a Rectangle is L(Length) x W(Width)

So using the given information, 8 x 4 = 32

So the Area of the Rectangle = 32

Now let's find the area of the given circle,

<em>Area of a Circle: πr2                                     Remember ^ = stands for power</em>

The radius is half of the diameter

The diameter of the circle is 4

4/2 = 2 which is our radius, and now let's replace it in the equation.

= 3.14(r)^2

= 3.14(2)^2

= 3.14(4)

= 12.56 or some may have got 12.57

So now we add all areas together to get the total area,

32+12.57 = 44.57

Now rounding off to the nearest tenths, would give us 44.60

So the area of the figure rounded to the nearest tenth is 44.60

If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that both dice show an odd number?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Both dice have odd numbers 1, 3, 5. The chances of getting an odd number on each number is 3/6

The probability of getting odd numbers on both is:

3/6 ⋅ 3/6 = 9/36 = 1/4
