Answer: 2 lbs of cherries

Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb

------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges

------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6               ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18         ---------------------------- (2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6 
x = 6 - y 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Alex bought 2 lb of cherries

You and a friend are playing a best-of-three series (first to win 2 games wins the series). You are a stronger player and have a
mariarad [96]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Given that probability of you winning each game = 0.68

And probability of you winning next game = 0.81

Your friend's chance of winning/you losing would be = 1-0.68= 0.32

also his chance of winning next game = 0.73

To find probability that you would win the series given that you need to win two games to win the series

= probability that you win first game and second game+ probability that you win first game, lose second game and win third game + probability that you lose first game, win second game and win third game

= 0.68*0.81+0.68*0.32*0.68+0.32*0.68*0.81

=0.8750

Therefore probability that you would win the series = 0.8750

Note: here we found the probability of winning by adding(or) up the three possible combinations that would result in a win

If Fun Reads Bookstore has a ready club with a $40 fee and charges $5 per book and Cool Covers Bookstores club charges $100 fee
choli [55]

Answer:

You have to buy more than 20 books to make Cool Cover Bookstore club a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fee charged by Fun Reads Bookstore = $40

Charges per book = $5

Let x be the number of books.

A(x) = 5x+40

Fee charged by Cool Covers Bookstore = $100

Charges per book = $2

B(x) = 2x+100

For making Cool Cover Bookstores club a better deal,

B(x) > A(x)

2x+100 > 5x+40

2x-5x > 40-100

-3x > -60

Dividing both sides by -3

\frac{-3x}{-3}>\frac{-60}{-3}\\x>20

Hence,

You have to buy more than 20 books to make Cool Cover Bookstore club a better deal.
