You would have none left. If you started with one cup of cornmeal and then you used that one cup of cornmeal to make the muffins, you would have none left
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2 - y2 = 9.........(1)
x2 + 2y2 = 38......(2)
Let x^2 = a and y^2 = b
:- the two equations becomes
3a - b = 9..........(3)
a + 2b = 38.......(4)
Multiplying (4) by 3
3a + 6b = 114........(5)
Substracting (3) from (5)
3a - 3a + 6b - (-b) = 114 - 9
6b +b = 105
7b = 105
b = 105/7
b = 15
And 3a - b = 9 putting b = 15
3a - 15 = 9
3a = 15+9
3a = 24
a = 24/3
a = 8
And
x^2 = a
x^2 = 8
x = √8
x = √(4×2)
x = 2√2
Also y^2 = b
y^2 = 15
y = √15
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
