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.

Use the given x and y values to write a direct variation<br> equation.<br> x = 2, y = 30
exis [7]

Answer:

y = 15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x and y are in direct variation then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 2, y = 30, then

30 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

15 = k

y = 15x ← equation of variation

Alishia rides her bike 45.3 km in 143 minutes. what is her average speed in kilometers per hour?
Nady [450]

Average speed of Alishia is 19 kilometers per hour

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance that something has traveled by the total amount of time it took it to travel that distance. Speed is how fast something is going at a particular moment. Average speed measures the average rate of speed over the extent of a trip

Given :

Distance = 45.3 km

Time taken = 143 minutes = 143/60 =2.384 hours

∴ Average speed = 45.3/2.384 = 19 kilometers per hour

Thus the average speed of Alishia is 19 kilometers per hour.
