Clem Colfax had $10 to buy groceries. He needed milk costing 70 cents a carton, bread costing 60 cents a loaf, breakfast cereal

costing 50 cents a box, and meat costing $1.50 a pound. He bought twice as many cartons of milk as he did loaves of bread, the number of boxes of cereal was one more than the number of loaves of bread, and the number of pounds of meat was the same as the number of boxes of cereal. How many of each did he buy if the total he spent was exactly $10?

Cost of milk per carton = $ 70 cents = 70/100 = $0.7
Cost of bread per loaf = $60 cents = 60/100 = $0.6
Cost of cereals per box = $50 cents = 50/100 = $0.5
Cost of meat per pound = $1.50

If x is the number of cartons of milk bought, then
Number of loafs = x/2
Number pf boxes of cereals = x/2 +1
Number of pounds of meat = x/2 +1

Therefore,
0.7*x + 0.6*x/2 + 0.5 (x/2+1) + 1.5 (x/2+1) = 10
0.7x + 0.3x + 0.25x + 0.5 + 0.75x + 1.5 = 10
2x + 2 =10
2x = 8
x = 4

Substituting;
Milk cartons = 4
Number of bread = 4/2 = 2
Boxes of cereals = 2+1 = 3
Pounds of meat = 3

ASAP Plz what is the value of x? Plz no joking around this is from quiz 4.09: Special Right Triangles 2
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Ooh this is a good one!
Firstly, let's find RT so that we can solve the top triangle.
We could actually use 3 methods to find this side: 1) trig to find RT
2) trig to find ST, then Pythagorean Theorem to determine RT
3) use the special 30-60-90 right triangle rule ... hmm, I'm going with the last because it's easiest ;)

For 30-60-90 triangles, the sides are always as follows: smallest side (opposite the 30) is s, the middle side is sSR3, and the hypotenuse is 2×s
Thus, since we have the side opposite 60, it is = sSR3, so:
s \sqrt{3}  = 2 \sqrt{3}  \\ s \sqrt{3} \div  \sqrt{3}   = 2 \sqrt{3} \div  \sqrt{3}  \\ s = 2
So now, the hypotenuse (RT) = 2s = 2(2) = 4

Secondly, we are looking at the other type of special right triangle, the 45-45-90:
The side opposite the 45s are s (remember side lengths are equal whose opposite angles are equal); and the hypotenuse is always
s \sqrt{2}
we only need QR, which is s, which is also = RT
So the answer is:
QR = x = 4

x = 4 IS THE FINAL ANSWER!!!


[ i hope by my explanations you understand how better to do special right triangles in the future] :-D

20 POINTS! PLS HELP!

First statement is correct. If Sasha reads her novel for 94 minutes, she meets the minimum reading requirement without reading any of the autobiography.

Given,

The rate of reading of a novel by Sasha = 0.8 pages per minute

The rate of reading of autobiography by Sasha = 0.5 pages per minute

The reading requirement of Sasha's English class = atleast 75 pages per week

The given equation: 0.8n + 0.5a ≥ 75

n is the number of minutes she reads the novel

a is the number of minutes she reads the autobiography

Now, let's check the statements:

Statement 1: If Sasha reads her novel for 94 minutes, she meets the minimum reading requirement without reading any of the autobiography.

That is,

0.8 × 94 + 0.5 × 0 ≥ 75

75.2 ≥ 75

This statement satisfies the equation.

Other 4 statement didn't satisfy the equation.

So, first statement is correct.
