One way to look at this is to make 2 equations and treat it as a set of equations. We will make the cost of a donut equal to x, and the cost of a coffee equal to y.

Harold's order:
4x + 2y = 4.08

Melinda's order:
2x + 3y = 3.92

To combine these equations, we need to cancel out either x or y:
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>2x + 3y = 3.92
</span>
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>4x + 6y = 7.84
</span>
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>-4x - 6y = -7.84
</span>
We can now combine these equations:
4x + 2y = 4.08
<span>-4x - 6y = -7.84
</span>
-4y = -3.76

y = 0.94

Therefore the cost of a large coffee is $0.94. We can plug this into either original equation to find the cost of a donut.
<span>4x + 2y = 4.08
</span>4x + 2(0.94) = 4.08
4x + 1.88 = 4.08
4x = 2.20
x = 0.55

The cost of a donut is $0.55, and the cost of a large coffee is $0.94.

A ball, thrown vertically upwards, from the ground, has its height h (in meters) expressed as a function of time t (in seconds),
Over [174]

Answer:

a. 15 meters.

b. 20 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The height of the ball at 3 seconds. 20 * 3 - 5 * (3)^2 = 60 - 5 * 9 = 60 - 45 = 15.

The ball will be 15 meters high.

b. The maximum height reached by the ball.

To get that, we need to find the vertex of the parabola. We do so by doing -b/2a to find the x-coordinate of the vertex.

In this case, a = -5 and b = 20.

-20 / 2(-5) = -20 / -10 = 20 / 10 = 2.

Then, we find the y-coordinate by putting 2 where it says "t".

h(2) =  20(2) - 5(2)^2 = (40) - 5(4) = 40 - 20 = 20 meters.

Hope this helps!

An ice cream shop sold 48 vanilla milkshakes in a day, which was 40% of the total number of milkshakes sold that day. What was t
german

Answer:

They sold 120 milkshakes that day

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a proportion

\frac{48}{m} =\frac{2}{5}

48*5=2m\\ 2m = 240\\m  = 120\\

Note: If you have some value, v, and it is \frac{x}{100} of the total amount, you can find the value by doing the equation \frac{v}{x}*100

Can someone help me with this i got the question wrong the first time so its not 7.50
Sedaia [141]

Answer: $7.6502

Step-by-step explanation:

Grape cost $1.19 per pound. 3.16 pounds are bought. The total amount paid for grape will be:

= $1.19 × 3.16

= $3.7604

Peaches cost $1.29 per pound. 1.35 pounds are bought. The total amount paid for peaches will be:

= $1.29 × 1.35

= $1.7415

Peers cost $0.99 per pound. 2.17 pounds are bought. The total amount paid for pears will be:

= $0.99 × 2.17

= $2.1483

Total bill paid will be:

= $3.7604 + $1.7415 + $2.1483

= $7.6502
