Answer:

  • 490 pens
  • 510 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pens Nick sold. Then the revenue is ...

  0.10p +0.05(1000 -p) = 74.50

  0.05p = 24.50 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 50

  p = 490 . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 20

The number of pencils sold is then ...

  pencils = 1000 -490 = 510

Nick's Printing Press sold 490 pens and 510 pencils.

NEED HELP ASAP ALGEBRA 2​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 +40 ^2 = 41^2

a^2 + 1600 = 1681

a^2 = 1681-1600

a^2 = 81

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(81)

a = 9

An orange is shot up into the air with a catapult. The function h given by
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Velocity = 59 feet/second

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = 15 + 60t – 16t2

Time t = 1 second

Let's substitute time into the equation to get the distance

h(t) = 15+60(1)-16(1)²

h(t) = 15 + 60 - 16

h(t) = 59 feet

Speed or velocity = distance/time

Distance = 59 feet

Time = 1 second

Velocity = 59/1

Velocity = 59 feet/s
