.50 each but later decreased the price of each by $4.00. If they sold all $741.00, find how many they sold at the original price and how they sold at the reduced price.

11.50-3.00=8.50
some of the pieces of pottery were sold at 11.50 and some of the pieces of pottery were sold at 8.50.

let x = number of pieces of pottery sold at 11.50.
let y = number of pieces of pottery sold at 8.50.

since a total of 99 pieces of pottery were sold, and since the total revenue collected was 931.50, you get the following equations.

x + y = 99
11.50 * x + 8.50 * y = 931.50

the first equation says that the total number of pieces of pottery sold was 99.

the second equation says that the total money collected was 931.50, when x were sold at 11.50 and y were sold at 8.50.

these two equations need to be solved simultaneously.

we'll solve by elimination.

multiply both sides of the first equation by 11.50 and leave the second equation as is to get:

11.5 * x + 11.5 * y = 1138.5
11.5 * x + 8.50 * y = 931.5

subtract the second equation from the first to get:

3.00 * y = 207

divide both sides of that equation by 3 to get y = 69.

since x + y = 99, this means that x has to be equal to 30.

your solution is that x = 30 and y = 69.

this means that the number of pieces of pottery sold at 11.50 is 30 and the number of pieces of pottery sold at 8.50 is 69.

30 * 11.50 + 69 * 8.50 is equal to 931.50.

solution looks good.

they sold 30 at the original price and 69 at the reduced price.

Answer:

r = ∛(3V/4π)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr³.

We want to solve this first for r³ and then for r.

Multiplying both sides of V = (4/3)πr³ by 3 yields an equation without fractions:  3V = 4πr³.

Dividing both sides of this equation by 4π isolates r³:

       3V

r³ = -------

       4π

To find r, take the cube root of both sides of

       3V

r³ = -------

       4π

obtaining r = ∛(3V/4π)

Draw the shape by drawing dots at the co-ordinates. 
Connect them in order, so if it's KLMN, connect K to L then to M then N.
Then, pick one of the points, I'd choose K, then move that dot 3 to the right, then move it 4 up. Do the same for all of the letters.

Neko [114]

Answer:

20 CDs

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you can't buy 1 CD, you have to buy 2 CD's for 15.95, let's see how many 2CD-Batches we can buy with 60:

60/15.95 = 3.76 CD batches

We can't buy the fractional amount, so we have to buy "3" 2-CD-Batches.

Thus, we will have 3 * 2 = 6 CD's  now

Since we had 14 and now we buy 6, we will have

14 + 6 = 20 CDs now.

20 CDs
