<em><u>Question:</u></em>

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 695 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 55 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

375 hamburgers and 320 cheese burgers were sold

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of hamburgers sold

Let "b" be the number of cheese burgers sold

<em><u>Local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 695 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday</u></em>

Therefore,

a + b = 695 ------------ eqn 1

<em><u>There were 55 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers</u></em>

Number of cheese burgers sold = number of hamburgers - 55

b = a - 55 --------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

a + a - 55 = 695

2a = 695 + 55

2a = 750

a = 375

<em><u>Substitute a = 375 in eqn 2</u></em>

b = 375 - 55

b = 320

Thus 375 hamburgers and 320 cheese burgers were sold

A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of 2 feet, with an initial speed of 120 feet per secon
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The maximum height is reached after 3.75 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the deceleration due to gravity is unaided by air resistance, gravity causes the ball to lose vertical speed at the rate of 32 ft/s every second. The initial vertical speed of 120 ft/s will decline to zero when t satisfies ...

... 120 ft/s - (32 ft/s²)t = 0

... (120 ft/s)/(32 ft/s²) = t = 3.75 s

The ball will not go any higher after its vertical speed is zero.

Carmen lives in Maine and pays 5% in sales tax. She just bought $70 in
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Carmen pays 5% tax on everything she buys, and has made a purchase of $ 70.

But they also tell us that there is $ 25 of that purchase that will not be charged with taxes.

Therefore, what will be charged with taxes will be:

70-25 = 45

Now we must know how much is 5% of 45 and that we can find out by multiplying 45 by 0,05:

45.0,05 = 2,25

Now that we know that the tax was 2.25, we just have to add it to the total purchase to find out how much Carmen paid:

2.25 + 70 = 72.25

Therefore, the total value of the purchase is 72.25.
