Answer:

Peanuts cost $2 a bag

Almonds cost $2.50 a bag

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, write a system of equations using the information given.

  • "a small case contains 10 bags of almonds and 25 bags of peanuts for $75" translates to 10a+25p=75
  • "a large case comtains 40 bags of almonds and 60 bags of peanuts for $220" translates to 40a+60p=220

Solve by stacking the equations and performing elimination. To eliminate a variable, the coefficients must be the same. To make this so, we will multiply 10a+25p=75 by 4 to become 40a+100p=300. Now stack the equations and subtract:

40a+100p=300

40a+60p=220

----------------------------

0a + 40p=80

p=2 means peanuts cost $2 a bag.

Substitute p=2 into one equation to find a.

10a+25(2)=75

10a+50=75

10a=25

a=2.5 means almonds cost $2.50 a bag.

A self own company charges $40 per month +0.05 cents for each text message sent.Select expression is there a percent of cost in
kondaur [170]
<h3>The monthly cost of cell phone is A  =  40 + 0.005 m</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly fixed charges by mobile company = $40

The cost of sending each text message  = 0.05 cents

Now, 100 cents  = 1 dollar

⇒ 1 cent  =$ (\frac{1}{100} )

⇒ 0.05  cent s =$ (\frac{1}{100}  \times 0.05)  =0.0005

Also, the number of text messages send  =  m

So, the cost of sending m text message  = m x ( cost of 1 text )

= m x ( $ 0.0005) = 0.0005 m

Now, Total bill = Fixed rate + cost of m texts

⇒ A  =$40  +  $ 0.0005 m

Hence, the monthly cost of cell phone is A  =  40 + 0.005 m

Define the domain of the following
devlian [24]

The domain of the function or relation on the graph is { -2, -1, 0, 2 and 5}

<h3>What is the domain of a function?</h3>

The domain of the function is the set of input values of the graph

<h3>How to determine the domain of the function?</h3>

The function is represented by the set of relation or ordered pairs on the graph

The graph is given as an attachment

The ordered pairs in the relation on the graph are:

(x, y)  = (-2, -3), (-1, -1), (0, 3), (2, 1) and (5, 2)

Remove the y values in the above domain

x = -2, -1, 0, 2 and 5

The x values represent the domain of the function

And the domain of the function is the set of input values of the graph

Hence, the domain of the function or relation on the graph is { -2, -1, 0, 2 and 5}

Find the area of the shaded region. ​
densk [106]

[1]

A1 = (h (a + b)) / 2

A1 = (21 (17 + 32)) / 2

A1 = (21 x 49) / 2

A1 = 1,029 / 2

A1 = 514.5 mm²

[2]

A2 = (b x h) / 2

A2 = (11 x 9) / 2

A2 = 99 / 2

A2 = 49.5 mm²

[3]

The area of the shaded region =

A1 - A2 =

514.5 mm² - 49.5 mm² =

465 mm²

The answer is 465 mm².
