Answer: price of soda (a) = $2 and price of popcorn (b) = $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote soda = a and popcorn = b

Kaylin bought a soda and two popcorn, writing out an equation for this would be

a + 2b = $3...........equation (i)

And her brother bought 3 sodas and 1 popcorn.

3a + b = $6.50..........equation (ii)

From equation (i),

a + 2b = 3

Making a the subject of formula,

a = 3 - 2b......equation (iii)

Using substitution reaction, put equation (iii) into equation (ii)

3(3 - 2b) + b = $6.50

9 - 6b + b = 6.50

9 - 5b = 6.50

Collecting like terms,

5b = 9 - 6.50

Divide both sides by 5,

b = 5.

Put b = 5 into equation (i)

a + 2(0.5) = 3

a + 1 = 3

a = 2

Therefore, the price of soda is $2 per one and $0.5 for each popcorn.

(See diagram) The gradient of the line joining the origin to the point A is 1/2. The distance between A and the origin is sqrt 2
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

(42, 21) or (–42, –21)

Step-by-step explanation:

let A(x, y), A on line 2y = x

distance

x² + y² = 2205

(2y)² + y² = 2205

y² = 441

y = ±21

x = ±42

An investment banker deposited $50,000 in an account earning a nominal 6% per year compounded continuously. How much was in the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The amount in the account at the end of three years will be $59,861.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the amount at the end of <em>t</em> years, compounded continuously is:

A=P\times e^{t\times i}

Here,

A = Amount at the end

P = Principal amount

i = interest rate

t = number of years.

It is provided that:

P = $50,000

i = 6%

t = 3 years

Compute the amount in the account at the end of three years as follows:

A=P\times e^{t\times i}

   =50000\times e^{(3\times 0.06)}\\=50000\times 1.19722\\=59861

Thus, the amount in the account at the end of three years will be $59,861.

A company is planning to set up a new manufacturing plant for giant inflatable beach balls and believe the costs follow a linear
Jet001 [13]

The cost(y) of producing x number of balls is given by the linear model y = 3.25x + 685000

Linear equation

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the y intercept.

Let y represent the cost of producing x number of beach balls.

Using the point (10000, 587500) and (50000, 717500):

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\y-717500=\frac{717500-587500}{50000-10000} (x-10000)\\\\y=3.25x+685000

The cost(y) of producing x number of balls is given by the linear model y = 3.25x + 685000
