Answer:

12 Small, 16 Large

Step-by-step explanation:

When you do the math of getting 16 large candles and 12 small candles with respects to the price. You get the math of:

(6×16) + (4×12)

96 + 48

144

16 and 12 will make 28 which proves to be correct as 28 candles were sold

There is a simple algebraic solution to this; a system of equations!

x = small candles and y = large candles

4x + 6y = 144
x + y = 28

Now there are two ways to solve this; substitution and elimination.

Let’s use substitution for practice with the distributive property...

4x + 6y = 144
y = -x + 28

Put the second equation into the first...

4x + 6(-x + 28) = 144
4x - 6x + 168 = 144
-2x + 168 = 144
-2x = -24
x = 12

Plug this into one of the original equations....

12 + y = 28
y = 16

And there you have it! You sold 12 small candles and 16 large candles.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

  • <u>The odds are 2 : 23, or about 0.09 :  1 (0.09 to 1).</u>

Explanation:

The <em>odds </em>of an event is the ratio of occurrence to non-occurrence of the event.

When you know the <em>probability</em> of an event, then you can calculate the odds by dividing the probability of occurence by the probability of non-occurrence.

Calling p the probability that an event will happen, 1 - p is the probability that it will not happen and the odds will be:

  • Odds = p / ( 1 - p)

You have p = 8% = 0.08, and 1 - p = 1 -0.08 = 0.92.

Therefore:

  • Odds = 0.08 / 0.92 = 8 : 92 = 2 : 23 ≈ 0.09 : 1 (0.09 to 1)

The number of Apple iPods sold in 2009 was 54.13 million. That number decreased approximately linearly to 26.38 million iPods so
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

A(t) = -6.9375t + 81.88 is the amount, in millions, for the number of Apple iPods sold in t years after 2005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear function:

A linear function has the following function:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope(the value that y changes by when x changes by 1) and b is the y-intercept(the initial value of the output).

Finding the value in 2005:

This is b.

The number of Apple iPods sold in 2009 was 54.13 million. That number decreased approximately linearly to 26.38 million iPods sold in 2013.

So in 4 years, it decreased from 54.13 - 26.38 = 27.75 million.

So the value in 2005 should also be 27.75 million more than in 2009, that is 54.13 + 27.75 = 81.88. So

y = mx + 81.88

Using A for y and t for x

A(t) = mt + 81.88

Finding the slope:

When we have two points, the slope is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

In 4 years, the amount decrease by 27.75 million. So

m = -\frac{27.75}{4} = -6.9375

So

A(t) = -6.9375t + 81.88 is the amount, in millions, for the number of Apple iPods sold in t years after 2005.
