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.

How do you do these questions?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

μ ≈ 2.33

σ ≈ 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Each person has equal probability of ⅓.

\left[\begin{array}{cc}X&P(X)\\1&\frac{1}{3}\\2&\frac{1}{3}\\4&\frac{1}{3}\end{array}\right]

The mean is the expected value:

μ = E(X) = ∑ X P(X)

μ = (1) (⅓) + (2) (⅓) + (4) (⅓)

μ = ⁷/₃

The standard deviation is:

σ² = ∑ (X−μ)² P(X)

σ² = (1 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓) + (2 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓) + (4 − ⁷/₃)² (⅓)

σ² = ¹⁴/₉

σ ≈ 1.25

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 20 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the h
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the hypotenuse.

Let y represent the length of the the shorter leg.

Let z represent the length of the longer leg.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 20 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. It means that

z = 2y + 20

The length of the hypotenuse is 22 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. It means that

x = 2y + 22

We would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

(2y + 22)² = y² + (2y + 20)²

(2y + 22)(2y + 22) = y² + (2y + 20)(2y + 20)

= 4y² + 44y + 44y + 484 = y² + 4y² + 40y + 40y + 400

4y² + 88y + 484 = y² + 4y² + 80y + 400

4y² + 88y + 484 = 5y² + 80y + 400

5y² - 4y²+ 80y - 88y + 400 - 484

y² - 8y - 84 = 0

y² + 6y - 14y - 84 = 0

y(y + 6) - 14(y + 6)

y - 14 = 0 or y + 6 = 0

y = 14 or y = - 6

The shorter length cannot be negative hence y = 14 inches

The length of the shorter side is 14 inches.

The length of the hypotenuse is

(2 × 14) + 22 = 50 inches

The length of the longer side is

(2 × 14) + 20 = 48 inches

The number of oranges purchased varies directly as the price of the oranges. If 11 oranges cost $2.35, what is the cost of 18 or
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

If 11 oranges cost $2.35, then the cost of 18 oranges is $3.84.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The number of oranges purchased varies directly as the price of the oranges.

If the cost of 11 oranges is $2.35.

It is required to find the cost of 18 oranges.

As their is direct relation between number and oranges and price.

So,

The cost of 1 orange is $\dfrac{2.35}{11}.

For finding the cost of 18 oranges, multiply 18 by $\dfrac{2.35}{11} such that,

C=18\times \dfrac{2.35}{11}\\\\C=3.84

So, If 11 oranges cost $2.35, then the cost of 18 oranges is $3.84.
